Correlation of microscopic interaction with electrical conductivity in polymer separator of energy storage devices

Abstract

In the present report solid polymer nanocomposite (PNCs) comprising of (PEO)14+ NaClO4+ wt% BaTiO3has been prepared by solution casting method. Important characterization like: FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and conductivity have been performed for the applicability of the prepared materials in device application. The highest conductivity of the prepared polymer nanocomposite materials has been estimated 1×10−4Scm−1for 15 wt% of BaTiO3. A very fine correlation has been built among polymer-ion, ion-ion and polymer ion interaction with obtained conductivity results. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017.
