Physicochemical Properties of PEMA-MgTf₂-EMITFSI Polymer Electrolytes

The effects of MgO nanofiller to the physicochemical and ionic liquid retention properties of PEMA‐MgTf2‐EMITFSI nanocomposite polymer electrolytes

“…The highest conducting sample was obtained for PEMA–40 wt% EMITFSI. In order to study the effects of both composition of ionic liquid as plasticizer and ionic salt as ion donors, PEMA–MgTf 2 –EMITFSI were prepared by varying the amount of both composition of EMITFSI and MgTf 2 . The highest conducting sample was obtained for PEMA–30 wt% EMITFSI–20 wt% MgTf 2 .…”

“…In order to study the effects of both composition of ionic liquid as plasticizer and ionic salt as ion donors, PEMA–MgTf 2 –EMITFSI were prepared by varying the amount of both composition of EMITFSI and MgTf 2 . The highest conducting sample was obtained for PEMA–30 wt% EMITFSI–20 wt% MgTf 2 . The addition of more than 30 wt% EMITFSI into PEMA–MgTf 2 system could not produce free standing film, Table (c), which has been expected to exhibit higher ionic conductivity.…”

“…For the first system , highest conducting sample was obtained for PEMA–40 wt% EMITFSI. In the second system , PEMA–30 wt% EMITFSI–20 wt% MgTf 2 exhibited reasonably good ionic conductivity. It is expected that higher ionic conductivity can be achieved if higher amount of EMITFSI is added.…”

“…In an earlier work, the influences of EMITFSI and the role of both composition of EMITFSI and MgTf 2 to the properties of PEMA based electrolytes have been studied in the authors' laboratory. For the first system , highest conducting sample was obtained for PEMA–40 wt% EMITFSI.…”

“…It is expected that higher ionic conductivity can be achieved if higher amount of EMITFSI is added. However, the addition of 40 wt% EMITFSI into PEMA–20 wt% MgTf 2 produced film with poor film stability . Therefore, in order to improve the film stability of this system, we dispersed different amount of MgO nanopowder and study the film stability and physicochemical properties of the PEMA–EMITFSI–MgTf 2 NCPEs.…”
