Solid-state electrolyte nanocomposites based on poly(ethylene oxide), poly(oxypropylene) diamine, mineral clay and lithium perchlorate

Studies of structural, thermal and electrical behavior of polymer nanocomposite electrolytes

“…When excesses amount of DMMT is added to polymer-salt complex, there may be an increase in the system viscosity and thus restricted cation mobility (i.e., decrease of μ i ), as a result, lower ionic conductivity is observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of optimum clay concentration (i.e., 5% DMMT) provides the most suitable environment for the ionic transport and achieving the highest conductivity, which is consistent with the reported one [26]. Microscopic models such as dynamic bond percolation and dynamic disorder hopping models have been proposed [27] to describe the long-range ion transport in polymer electrolytes.…”

Supramolecular Functionalities Influence the Thermal Properties, Interactions and Conductivity Behavior of Poly(ethylene glycol)/LiAsF6 Blends

“…Unfortunately, a high content of their crystalline phases can limit the conductivity of PEO-based electrolytes [11][12][13]. Many research efforts aimed at enhancing the ionic conductivities of PEO-based SPEs have focused on suppressing their crystallinity through the incorporation of inorganic fillers (e.g., clays) to form composite polymeric electrolytes [14], through copolymerization of PEO with macromonomers [15] and through blending with other polymers [16]. In addition, much effort has been exerted toward enhancing the ionic conductivity of PEO-based electrolytes to appropriate levels under ambient conditions [17].…”

“…In addition, much effort has been exerted toward enhancing the ionic conductivity of PEO-based electrolytes to appropriate levels under ambient conditions [17]. In previous studies, we focused on preparing solid state electrolytes based on PEO/D2000/LiClO 4 /clay [18], PEO/PPBI/LiOTf [15], PEO/LiClO 4 /phenolic resin [19] and LiClO 4 /PEO/PCL [20]. In addition, we have also incorporated noncovalently interacting (multiple hydrogen bonding) functionalities into PEO polymer backbones to improve the properties of their SPEs [21,22].…”

Nanofiber Reinforced Composite Polymer Electrolyte Membranes

“…The main applications of the polymer electrolytes are in rechargeable lithium batteries as an alternative to liquid electrolytes (Chen et al, 2002;Lobitz et al, 1992). The advantages such as no leakage of electrolyte, higher energy density, flexible geometry and improved safety hazards have drawn the attention of many researchers on the development of lithium polymer batteries and other electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, electrochromic windows, and sensors (Gray, 1991).…”
