Abstract

A solid polymer electrolyte composed of poly(ethylene oxide) and sodium hexafluorophosphate has been synthesized with a varying fraction of succinonitrile via solution cast technique. Impedance spectroscopy, transference number measurements, and linear sweep voltammetry were used to study the electrochemical properties. The 10 wt.% succinonitrile system exhibited the highest ionic conductivity of ~ 2 × 10−5 S cm−1 which is two orders of magnitude higher than the pristine polymer salt system. The high ionic transference number (~ 1) confirms that ion conduction is dominated by ions and displays the voltage stability window of about 4 V. The dielectric permittivity and the relaxation time (τε′,τM,τh) values corresponding to the segmental motion of the polymer chain varies with the variation of succinonitrile content. The relaxation time and double-layer capacitance are in good agreement with the conductivity. Finally, an ion transport mechanism has been proposed to provide a better understanding of ion migration. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
