Structural and conductivity studies of polyacrylonitrile/methylcellulose blend based electrolytes embedded with lithium iodide

Substantial Proton Ion Conduction in Methylcellulose/Pectin/Ammonium Chloride Based Solid Nanocomposite Polymer Electrolytes: Effect of ZnO Nanofiller

“…This apparent decrease in transmittance strength and shifting of bands indicated the development of complexes between salt cations and functional groups in the polymer blend matrix and demonstrated that the MC/PC host mix polymer and the added salt had significant interaction. A similar result was obtained by Nadirah et al, [ 16 ] showing a decrease in MC/PAN blend intensity.…”

“…Other spectral bands reported are 1668, 1458 and 1058 cm −1 which correspond to COO − asymmetric stretching, C-H rocking and C-O-C stretching MC, respectively [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The tiny peaks around 946 cm −1 are the Infrared spectra characterization for MC [ 16 ]. For pristine PC film, the FTIR prominent bands are found within the proximity of 3334, 2910, 1652, 1422 and 1099 cm −1, which belong to O-H stretching, C-H stretching, COO − stretching, C-H bending, and C-O-C stretching of PC, respectively.…”

“…Specifically, polymer blending, a strategy of mixing two polymers to improve the amorphous phase of the polymer electrolyte systems, has been an excellent approach to improving the ionic conductivity of PEs. This technique offers a good channel in the polymer host matrix for fast ion mobility [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Furthermore, the combination of polymers offers more complexation sites and improves the amorphous phase for increased ions mobility, thereby increasing ionic conductivity [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Enhancement on protonation (H+) with incorporation of flexible ethylene carbonate in CMC–PVA–30 wt % NH4NO3 film

“…To date, there are numerous works and techniques in the enhancement of ionic conduction and electrochemical properties of polymer-based electrolytes. This include the addition of nanofillers [7], plasticizer [8], blending [9] or co-polymerization [10].…”

Competitive coordination of iron(III) and copper(II) ions with amidoximated polyacrylonitrile nanofiber and the catalytic performance of the complex

“…Their FTIR spectra are shown in Figure 5. As shown in the spectrum of n -PAN, absorption bands appeared at 2928, 2240, 1736, 1454, 1360, 1240, and 1033 cm −1 , which corresponded to the stretching vibration of CH 2 , C≡N, C=O (carboxyl group in the second and third monomer), the bending deformation vibration of CH 2 , swing vibrations of CH 2 and CH, and C-O, respectively[27–29]. After the amidoximated modification, the intensity of the absorption band attributed to C≡N (2240 cm −1 ) was significantly weakened, and at the same time, new absorption bands appeared at 3700–3000, 1649, 1103, and 1933 cm −1 which were attributed to the stretching vibration of -OH and C=N, C-N in amidoxime groups, and the deformation vibration of -OH, respectively [30].…”
