Characterization of PVA–NH₄NO₃Polymer Electrolyte and Its Application in Rechargeable Proton Battery

Abstract

The PVA-NH 4 NO 3 polymer electrolytes have been prepared by solvent casting technique and characterized by XRD, FTIR, DSC, Raman, 1 H NMR and ac impedance spectroscopic studies to find out best composition possessing good electrical and mechanical stability. Using the best optimum composition, proton battery with two different cell configurations have been constructed and subjected to rechargeability studies. In the present study rechargeability up to 3 cycles without significant loss in the voltage has been obtained for the cell with configuration Zn + ZnSO 4 .7H 2 O|80PVA: 20NH 4 NO 3 | V 2 O 5 +PbO 2 + C + PE.

Electrical and electrochemical studies on sodium ion-based gel polymer electrolytes

“…The semicircle was completely disappeared after the addition of sodium salt as seen in the Figure 1. This result suggests that only the capacitive component of ion conducting polymer prevails [9]. From the figures, the value of bulk resistance, R b can be obtained from the intercept on the real impedance axis plot and the conductivity value of the films can be determined using equation (1).…”

LASER RAMAN, XRD, DSC AND AC-IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS OF POLYMER BLEND ELECTROLYTE BASED ON ECO-FRIENDLY PVA-PVP BLEND WITH43

“…The glass transition temperature of the 50PVA:50PVP blend is 60°C [8]. The observed T g shifts to lower values with addition of salt due to plasticizing effect of the salt in the host polymer matrix [9]. The T g value of 52°C has been found for the composition of 20MWt% NH 4 NO 3 doped 50PVA-50PVP blend.…”

Lithium ion-conducting polymer electrolytes based on PVA–PAN doped with lithium triflate

“…A significant decrease in T g has been observed in the salt-doped blend polymer (92.5 PVA:7.5 PAN:50 M wt% LiCF 3 SO 3 ). This decrease in T g may be attributed to the plasticizing effect of the salt [13].…”
