Abstract

AbstractIn last few decades, polymer electrolyte is the most promising candidate for the fabrication of electrochemical devices. In current work, the influence of adding the room‐temperature ionic liquid (trifluoromethanesulfonic chloride – CClF3O2S) in polyethylene oxide (PEO): ammonium iodide (NH4I) polymer electrolyte has been studied. The IL‐doped polymer electrolyte films are synthesized by solution casting method with varying stoichiometric ratios. Several experimental techniques including optical polarizing microscope, impedance spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, Linear sweep voltammetry, Ionic transference number thermal analysis, and electrical conductivity measurements at room temperature have been studied in detail. The complex material's maximum conductivity has been determined to be 3.3 × 10−5 S cm−1 at room temperature. The POM images show the increase in amorphous region which further confirm the improvement in ionic conductivity. Ionic transference number 0.96 shows the system is purely ionic in nature. The ESW of the IL doped polymer electrolyte is also sawed to be 3.32 V which is suitable for the fabrication of electrochemical devices.
