Ionic conductivity and FT-IR studies on plasticized PVC/PMMA blend polymer electrolytes

Structural, Thermal and Optical Properties of Pure and Mn2+ Doped Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Films

“…Several researchers have reported doped polymer electrolytes with enhanced ionic conductivity in PVC based polymer electrolytes [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . As a result, a variety of Polymer electrolytes such as Polymer-salt complexes, gel polymer electrolytes, composite polymer electrolytes and blend based polymer electrolytes have emerged.…”

Impedance spectroscopy and structural analysis of VO2+ doped Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) electrolytes

“…Scanning electron microscopy analysis SEM images of pure and VO 2+ doped polymer electrolytes are shown in Figure 5(a-f) respectively. Small craters are observed on the SEM images, formed due to evaporation of the solvent during preparation of the thin film [19]. It can be observed by comparing Figure 5(a-f) that the pore size of 5 mol% of VO 2+ doped PVC is much smaller and its pore surface distribution is better than that of other polymer electrolytes.…”

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

“…Therefore, gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs), sometimes known as gelionic solid polymer electrolytes are yet to be developed to substitute SPEs because of its inherent characteristics (Stephan et al, 2000a). Such features are low interfacial resistance, decrease in reactivity, improved safety and exhibit better shape flexibility as well as significant increases in ionic conductivity with a small portion of plasticizers (Ahmad et al, 2008;Pandey and Hashmi, 2009).…”

“…Even though they are in a solid state, but at atomic level, the local relaxations provide liquid-like degree of freedom which is comparable to those conventional liquid electrolytes. Moreover, GPEs show better mechanical and electrochemical properties within a wide operational temperature range in comparison with that of liquid electrolytes (Ahmad et al, 2005;Stephan et al, 2000a). Other attractive advantages are leak proof construction, lighter, cheaper and easy fabrication into desired shape and size (Zhang et al, 2011).…”
