Abstract
The conducting polymer electrolyte films composed of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the host polymer, LiCF3SO3 and NaCF3SO3 as inorganic salts and ethylene carbonate (EC) as plasticizer were prepared by the solution cast technique. The conductivities of the films were characterized by impedance spectroscopy. On addition of more than 14 wt% of salt, the NaCF3SO3-containing PAN films exhibited higher ionic conductivity than the LiCF3SO3-containing PAN films. The values of the dielectric constant, εr and dielectric loss, εi increase as frequency decreases at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the conductivity obeys Arrhenius relation in the temperature range of 303 K to 353 K.
