Study of Thin Film of Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) Prepared by Hot Press Technique

Abstract

Solid polymeric electrolyte material is important for industrial as well as for preparing energy storage devices. In present work Solid polymer Electrolyte  (SPE )   is made by using PEO as host polymer and AgCl as salt in appropriate weight% ratio of the composition [(1-X) PEO: X AgCl ] Where X = 5,10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,45etc.by novel Hot press technique. The composition [70 PEO: 30AgCl] is identified as optimum conducting composition (OCC) for SPE membrane. The ion transport behavior in SPE (OCC) has been discussed on the basis of conductivity (σ). The conductivity as a function of temperature has been studied to compute activation energy by least square fitting of “log σ – 1/T” Arrhenius plot.
