Item Role of low salt concentration on electrical conductivity in blend polymeric films(Integrated Science, 2016) Arya, Anil; Sharma, Sweety; Sadiq, Mohd; Sharma, A. L.A new blend polymer electrolyte based on polyethyelene oxide (PEO) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) doped with Lithium Hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) has been prepared by solution casting technique using Dimethyalformamide (DMF) as solvent. The prepared samples were characterized by FTIR, FESEM and ac impedance spectroscopic measurements. The complex formation between blend polymer (0.5g PEO: 0.5g PAN) and LiPF6 has been studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). From AC impedance spectroscopic analysis there is enhancement of two order on addition of salt than pure PEO-PAN. The effect of low salt concentration on the conductivity and surface morphology of the blend polymer electrolyte has been discussed.Item Optimization of Free standing Polymer Electrolytes films for Lithium ion batteries application(Integrated Science, 2016) Sadiq, M.; Arya, Anil; Sharma, A. L.The free standing polymer nancomposite films consisting of blend polymer based on Poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) as host polymer–Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) as a copolymer, Dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent and Lithium hexaflourophosphate (LIPF6) as a conducting speciesm were prepared. Keeping in view of characterization of solid state film such as, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is done for an understanding of the microscopic interaction among the different component present in the material system. The energy storage/conversion device applications have been analyzed by the impedances spectroscopy. The surface morphology or micro-structural of the polymer nanocomposite electrolytes film was analyzed by FESEM. The electrochemical stability window was about ~4V for the polymer electrolyte film at (/Li=6). The advantageous outcome of PAN combining with PEO based electrolytes is in comparable electrical conductivity and wider electrochemical stability window. Further optimization might lead to practical solid state polymer electrolytes for lithium ion batteries.Item Polymer electrolytes for lithium ion batteries: a critical study(Institute for Ionics, 2017) Arya, A.; Sharma, A. L.Polymer electrolytes (PEs) are an essential component being used in most energy storage/conversion devices. The present review article on a brief history, advantage, and their brief application of polymer electrolyte systems. It consists of a glimpse on liquid, gel, and solid polymer electrolyte and a contrast comparison concerning benefits/disadvantages among the three. The article started with a brief introduction of polymer electrolytes followed by their varieties and extreme uses. The role of host polymer matrix by taking numerous examples of polymer electrolyte published by the different renowned group of the concerned field has been explored. The criteria for selection of appropriate host polymer, salt, inorganic filler/clay, and aprotic solvents to be used in polymer electrolyte have been discussed in detail. The mostly used polymer, salt, solvents, and inorganic filler/clay list has been prepared in order to keep the data bank at one place for new researchers. This article comprises different methodologies for the preparation of polymer electrolyte films. The different self-proposed mechanisms (like VTF, WLF, free volume theory, dispersed/intercalated mechanisms, etc.) have been discussed in order to explain the lithium ion conduction in polymer electrolyte systems. A numerous characterization techniques and their resulting analysis have been summarized from the different published reports at one place for better awareness of the scientific community/reader of the area. ? 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Item Electrical Conductivity and Ion Transport Number Analysis of Polymer Nanocomposite Films(The Research Publication, 2016) Sharma, Parul Kumar; Sharma, Anshu Kumar; Sadiq, M.; Sharma, A. L.Solid state free standing polymer nanocomposite films have been used in numerous vitality related segments like: high energy density solid polymer batteries, PEM fuel cells, super capacitors, etc. Such applications require a desirable conductivity value of the order of ~10-3 Scm-1at room temperature. A free standing transparent film of solid state polymer electrolyte based on PEO+ LiPF6 with different compositions of nano sized filler (BaTiO3) in weight percent (x = 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 ) is synthesized by using standard solution cast technique. Surface morphology of the prepared polymer composition is examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). I-V characteristics of the prepared sample have been characterized for the stability of electrochemical potential window. The transport number analysis of prepared sample has been done to separate out the contribution due to ions and electrons in the electrical conductivity results. The transference number has been estimated and found of the order of ~94%.
