Role of Hard-Acid/Hard-Base Interaction on Structural and Dielectric Behavior of Solid Polymer Electrolytes Based on Chitosan-XCF3SO3(X = Li+, Na+, Ag+)

Abstract: Solid films of pure chitosan, chitosan-LiCF3SO3, chitosan-NaCF3SO3, and chitosan-AgCF3SO3 were prepared using solution cast technique. The influence of cation size on the chitosan structure has been investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. The interaction between the alkali metal ions and the donor atoms of chitosan polymer is a strong hard-acid/hard-base interaction. It was found that the intensity of crystalline peaks of chitosan decreases with increase of cation size. The impedance analysis shows that i… Show more

“…It is obvious that the peak of pure chitosan at 15.5 ∘ shifted to 12.6 ∘ in CS : LiTf systems. The effect of LiTf salt on crystal structure of chitosan can be seen elsewhere [20] in detail. Figure 2 shows several crystalline peaks at around 32 ∘ , 34.4 ∘ , 36 ∘ , 39 ∘ , 41 ∘ , 45.7 ∘ , 61 ∘ , and 67.1 ∘ for pure Al 2 O 3 .…”

“…The high DC conductivity of chitosan with Na + cation compared to other salts can be explained based on the theory of Hard-Soft-Acid-Base (HSAB) introduced by Ralph Pearson. According to this theory, the larger (e.g., Ag + or Na + ) and smaller (e.g., Li + ) cations are considered to be soft and hard, respectively [51]. A strong bond can be formed between a hard cation and a hard anion as well as a weak bond between a soft cation and a hard anion, resulting in a higher DC conductivity.…”

“…Figure 2a shows XRD patterns of free UEERO, CsNPs and UEER0-CsNPs. Free CsNPs exhibited a crystalline peak at 2ϴ = 9.08° and another amorphous peak at 2ϴ = 20.75° [51] The sharp peak showed a decrease in intensity in case of free CsNPs5 due to the semi-crystalline nature of the synthesized NPs at pH 5. Free UEERO showed a strong sharp peak at 2ϴ = 15.26° that is expected to be affected after interaction with CsNPs as a result of deformation of crystal structure and encapsulation inside the NPs.…”
