Abstract

The development of new materials is a vital to meet the challenges faced by battery technologies. Ionic conducting solid polymer electrolytes could reduce the risk of explosion with non-flammability and high thermal stability. The use of solid polymer electrolyte is the additional strength of the electrodes performances to increase the number of cycle for the rechargeable batteries. In the present study, preparation of PVdF-HFP/PEMA blend based solid polymer electrolytes enclosure of two different plasticizers such as propylene carbonate (PC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) at different concentrations and the accumulation of lithium perchlorate as salt. To confirm the structural changes and complex formations, the prepared electrolytes were subjected into XRD and FTIR analyses, and the porous nature of the electrolytes was identified using scanning electron microscopy. AC impedance studies were performed at various temperatures from 303 K to 363K for the prepared samples. The results suggest that the PC/DEC (1:1) based electrolyte exhibited the higher ionic conductivity is 0.00477 S/cm at room temperature and 0.00843 S/cm at 363K. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity also complies with the VTF relation.
