Conductivity Studies on Nano ZnO Incorporated PVC-PVdF Gel Electrolytes for Li⁺ Ion Battery Application

Abstract:

Polymer electrolytes with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVdF) blend as matrix and lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄) as dopant salt were prepared by solvent casting technique. Propylene carbonate was used as plasticizer and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as common solvent. Zinc oxide nano particles were synthesized through novel solid-state milling method and incorporated as filler. The content (wt%) of nano filler in the polymer electrolyte was systematically varied to study its influence on the conductivity of the electrolyte membranes. The films were subjected to complex impedance analysis in the frequency range 50 – 100 KHz. The analysis reveals the strong influence of filler particles on the conductivity profile of the electrolytes.
