Abstract

In the present work, improvement in ion transport property of polyvinyl formal (PVF)-based nanocomposite polymer electrolytes has been studied upon dispersal of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) filler. Nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) films of xPVF: (1 − x)CH3COONH4 (ammonium acetate) were prepared by solution cast technique. The formation of nanocomposite has been ascertained by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, which also shows that doping of salt increases amorphousness through polymer salt complexation. Changes in surface morphology have been observed in optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) images. Variation of dielectric constant, dielectric loss, tangent loss and modulus spectra with the change in frequency and temperature were studied with the aid of impedance spectroscopy.
