Abstract:

The electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/montmorillonite nanofibrous composite membranes (esCPMs) were prepared by electrospinning technique using a mixture of different amounts of montmorillonite (0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 wt%) into 16 wt% of PVDF-HFP polymer solution in 7:3 wt% of acetone and dimethylacetamide as the solvent. The effect of montmorillonite (MMT) on electrospun PVdF-HFP membrane has been studied by XRD, DSC, TGA and tensile strength analysis. It is found that electrospun PVDF-HFP/MMT nanofibrous composite membrane obtained using 5wt% MMT has a higher porosity, electrolyte uptake, ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window and showed higher specific capacitance and good compatibility with electrode materials.
