Investigation on the Effect of TiO2 Nanofiller to the Structural and Conductivity Characteristics of Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/Poly(ethyl methacrylate) Based Polymer Electrolytes System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/Poly (ethyl methacrylate (PEMA) nanocomposite polymer electrolytes was prepared by solution casting technique. The effects of TiO2 nanofiller on the structural, thermal and conductivity characteristics were examined using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and impedance spectroscopy. The crystallinity and conductivity of the salted system are found to increase with the addition of TiO2. The system containing 5 wt % of TiO2 exhibited the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.32 × 10-3 S cm-1.
