Impact of ethylene carbonate on ion transport characteristics of PVdF–AgCF3SO3 polymer electrolyte system

The use of 2,6-bis (N-pyrazolyl) pyridine as an efficient dopant in conjugation with poly(ethylene oxide) for nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cells

“…A Hewlett-Packard model HP 4284A precision LCR meter was employed to measure the electrical conductivities of the polymer electrolytes at room temperature (298 K), and the complex impedence analysis was carried out in the frequency range 20 Hz to , of the DSSC's. The value of electrical conductivity for the present doped electrolyte is also significantly much higher than that of pure PEO membrane [14] and thereby accounts for the appreciably high values of photocurrent and the efficiency of the cell as discussed in Section 3.3.

Characterization of High Molecular Weight Poly(vinyl chloride) - Lithium Tetraborate Electrolyte Plasticized by Propylene Carbonate

“…Plasticization is generally recognized as one of the effective and efficient methods available for decreasing the crystalline region of polymer electrolytes (Suthanthiraraj et al, 2009). Plasticizer is a non-volatile and low molecular weight aprotic organic solvent which has a in the vicinity of -50 °C.…”

“…Plasticizer is a non-volatile and low molecular weight aprotic organic solvent which has a in the vicinity of -50 °C. Carbonate ester such as propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC), and high dielectric constant solvent such as N,Ndimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and γ-butyrolactone are widely used as main components of GPE (Pradhan et al, 2005;Suthanthiraraj et al, 2009;Ning et al, 2009). Other examples of common plasticizers are dibuthyl phthalate (DBP), diocthyl adipate (DOA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Suthanthiraraj et al, 2009).…”

Effect of plasticizer on conductivity and cell parameters of (PMMA+NaClO4) polymer electrolyte system

“…Because plasticizers are low in molecular weight, nonvolatile substances (mostly liquids) that, when added to a polymer, improve its flexibility, processability, and, hence utility. Generally, low molecular weight, high dielectric constant polar organic solvents such as ethylene carbonate (EC) [11], propylene carbonate (PC) [12], polyethylene glycol (PEG) [13], dimethylformamide (DMF) [6], dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) [14], dioctyl phthalate (DOP) [15] and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) [16] have been used in polymer electrolytes to enhance their room temperature ionic conductivities. The conductivities of these electrolytes critically depend on the physical properties of the plasticizer such as its viscosity and dielectric constant.…”
