Abstract

Single ion conducting polymer electrolytes synthesized through a copolymer poly(lithium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-co-vinyl triethoxysilane) and a crosslinker poly(etheylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) were prepared. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the surface and cross-section of the polymer electrolyte membrane. AC impedance and linear sweep voltammetry were used to investigate the electrochemical properties of the polymer electrolytes. It was found that the obtained membrane had a typical amorphous structure and possessed a smooth surface. The bulk resistance of the polymer electrolyte increased with the increase in the plasticizer uptake. The electrochemical stability increased with the increase in the content of VTES.
