    Impact of Shape (Nanofiller vs. Nanorod) of TiO2 nanoparticle on Free Standing Solid Polymeric Separator for Energy Storage/Conversion Devices
    (Wiley, 2018) Arya, Anil; Saykar, Nilesh G; Sharma, Achchhe Lal
    We report the investigation on examining the impact of nanofiller (NF)- versus nanorod (NR)-shaped titanium oxide(TiO2) nanoparticle on the structural, electrochemical, transport, thermal, and dielectric properties of the solid polymer electrolyte(SPE). Thin SPEfilms comprising of poly(ethylene oxide), sodium hexafluorophosphate, and dispersed with TiO2NF, TiO2NR (synthe-sized by hydrothermal route) has been prepared via solution cast technique. The shape of nanoparticle influences the morphologicaland structural properties as observed infield emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction analysis. The highest ionicconductivity was exhibited by the NR dispersed system and is higher than NF dispersed system for all recorded concentration consis-tently. It is attributed to the formation of the long-range conductive path with NR when compared with NF. In addition, the electro-chemical stability window is much higher (~5 V) than the NF-doped system. Furthermore, the dielectric properties of SPE wereinvestigated andfitted in the complete frequency window (1 Hz–1 MHz;T=40–100 C@10 C). It is observed that the NR dispersedsystem shows higher dielectric strength and low relaxation time with respect to NF dispersed system. The results suggest that the NRdispersed SPE possess enhanced properties and is more appropriate for an application in high energy density solid-state Na ion batte-ries.

    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.

    Structural and Dielectric Behaviour of Blend Polymer Electrolyte based on PEO-PAN + LiPF6
    (The Research Publication, 2016) Arya, Anil; Sharma, Sweety; Sharma, A. L.; Kumar, Dinesh; Sadiq, Mohd.
    Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have recently gained more research interest in the area of materials science due to their wide application range in energy storage/conversion devices like batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells and sensors. A blend polymer electrolyte based on polyethyeleneoxide (PEO) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) doped with Lithium Hexaflurophosphate (LiPF6) has been prepared by solution casting technique using Dimethyalformamide (DMF) as a solvent. The complex formation has been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The decrease in intensity and broadness in peak revels the amorphous phase formation. The dielectric study of PS films has been done which gives the two order decrement in relaxation time (i.e. 10-4- 10-6) which is directly related to faster ion dynamics in polymer electrolytes. The analysis has shown the dielectric polarization at low frequencies. The dielectric peak has been observed to shift toward the higher frequency side with the addition of salt, suggesting the low sample viscosity and faster conduction of ions.
