In solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and nano-composite polymer electrolytes (NCPEs)
the ion conduction mechanism is still not well understood. This motivates us to study
the electrical and dielectric properties of solid polymer electrolytes (CS:AgTf, CS:LiTf
and CS:NaTf ) and nano-composite polymer electrolytes ((1-x)(0.9CS:0.1AgTf)-xAl2O3
(0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.1), (1-x)(0.9CS:0.1NaTf)-xAl2O3 (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) and (1-
x)(0.9CS:0.1LiTf)-xAl2O3 (0.02 ≤ x ≤ 0.1)) based on chitosan. In the present work the
SPEs and NCPEs were prepared by the solution cast technique. The XRD results reveal
the increase of amorphous fraction in chitosan upon the addition of salts. The UV-vis,
TEM, SEM and EDX analysis confirms the formation of metallic silver nanoparticle in
CS:AgTf system. The dependence of DC conductivity and dielectric constant on salt
concentration is almost the same. In CS:AgTf, CS:NaTf and CS:LiTf systems the DC
conductivity follows the Arrhenius equation. The DC conductivity and dielectric
constant for these SPEs have been correlated at different temperatures. The preexponential
factor is independent on dielectric constant and temperature for these SPEs.
The broadness of loss tangent peaks and incomplete semicircles of Argand plots reveals
the non-Debye relaxation. The impedance plots and AC conductivity spectra at different
temperatures were used to confirm the effect of electrode polarization on AC
conductivity dispersion. The calculated frequency exponent (s) at different temperatures
was used to characterize ion conduction model for each system.
To produce NCPEs the Al2O3 nanoparticle (size < 50 nm) were added to SPEs (CSA6,
CSB6 and CSC6). The XRD results revealed the increase of amorphous regions (small
crystallite size) in NCPEs up to 4 wt.% of Al2O3. At high alumina concentration the crystallinity of these NCPEs are increased. The SEM analysis shows a well dispersed
Al2O3 nanoparticle at low concentration and a cluster formation at high alumina
concentrations. The EDX analysis reveals that the white clusters are mostly alumina
nanoparticles. The DC conductivity and bulk dielectric enhancement of these NCPEs
reveal the role played by alumina nanoparticles. The curvature of DC conductivity
versus 1000/T at higher temperatures were observed for these NCPEs. The drop in DC
conductivity at a particular temperature for these three NCPEs can be ascribed to the
phase transition of alumina ceramic from ferroelectric to paraelectric. The DC
conductivity and dielectric constant study performed at different temperatures are well
correlated for these NCPEs. However, the pre-exponential factor and dielectric constant
cannot be correlated. The pattern of Arrhenius and compensated Arrhenius are almost
the same. The broad loss tangent peaks and electric modulus (Argand plots) reveal the
distribution of relaxation times. The electrode polarization effect was clearly observed
in the study of impedance plots and AC conductivity spectra at different temperatures.
The temperature dependences of frequency exponent were used to specify the ion
conduction model for each NCPE system. |
