Abstract
In this study, gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) have been prepared using PMMA, lithium bis(oxalato)borate, (LiBOB) and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, (TEGDME) as polymer host, ion source and solvent, respectively. PMMA-LiBOB-TEGDME GPEs were using electrical impedance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, linear sweep voltammetry, transference number and also charge-discharge measurement. The highest conductivity is achieved by the 15 wt.% LiBOB- 32.69 wt. % PMMA-52.31 wt. %TEGDME GPE with the conductivity value of 1.71 mS cm-1. From the FTIR deconvolution of selected GPE, the highest ionic conductivity of GPE is contributed by the 64% of the free ion. The Li-ion transference number for the highest conducting GPE is 0.38. The GPEs are stable up to 4.2 V (vs.Li/Li+) suggesting suitability for the application in the lithium-oxygen battery. The capacity is 447 mAh g-1 at the first discharge cycle.
