Abstract
Abstract Nanocomposite solid-polymer electrolytes were fabricated using polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), LiClO 4 and silica aerogel, with the aim of improving lithium ion conductivity and thermal stability. The effects of the PEO:PVDF ratio, polymer:Li-salt ratio, and silica aerogel content on the electrical conductivity of the solid-polymer electrolytes were examined. Highest lithium ion conductivity of 1.70×10 −4 S/cm was obtained at 30 °C in the SPE-2 sample with PEO:PVDF=3:1 and polymer:Li-salt=6:1. XRD and FT-IR analysis showed that the observed phenomenon could be explained by the degree of crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte and by the dissociation degree of Li-salt.
