Abstract
The plasticized polymer electrolyte consisting of poly(epichlorohydrin-ethyleneoxide) [P(ECH-EO)], lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL) have been prepared by simple solution casting technique. The polymer–salt–plasticizer complex has been confirmed by XRD analysis. The ionic conductivity studies have been carried out using AC impedance technique. The effect of plasticizer (γ-BL) on ionic conductivity has been discussed with respect to different temperatures. The maximum value of ionic conductivity is found to be 1.3 × 10−4 Scm−1 for 70P(ECH-EO):15γ-BL:15LiClO4 at 303 K. The temperature dependence of the plasticized polymer electrolyte follows the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher formalism. The activation energy is found to decrease with the increase in plasticizer.
