Abstract
Novel composite solid polymer electrolytes (CSPEs) and composite gel polymer electrolytes (CGPEs) have been prepared. CSPE consists of poly(ether-urethane) network polymer, which is superior to poly(ethylene oxide) in mechanical stability due to its cross-linked structure, modified montmorillonite (MMMT) and LiClO 4, and CGPE with good mechanical strength comprises of the CSPE and LiClO 4–PC (propylene carbonate) solution. The ionic conductivity can be enhanced after the addition of MMMT, and CGPE exhibits ionic conductivity in the order of 10 −3 S/cm at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity of the CSPE follows the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) equation. The effects of MMMT on the interactions in these systems and the possible conduction mechanisms are also discussed.
