Abstract: | In this study, the composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) were prepared by solution casting technique. The CPEs consisted of PEO/PMMA blend as a host matrix doped with LiClO4. Propylene carbonate (PC) was used as plasticizer and a small amount of imidazolium salt-supported amorphous silica (IS-AS) as a filler was prepared by the sol–gel method. At room temperature, the highest conductivity was obtained for the composition having PEO–PMMA–LiClO4–PC–4wt. % IS-AS with a value of 1.15 × 10?4 S/cm. In particular, the CPE using the IS-AS filler showed a higher conductivity than any other sample (fumed silica, amorphous silica). Studies of differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy indicated that the ionic conductivity increase was due to an expansion in the amorphous phase which enhances the flexibility of polymeric chains and the homogeneous structure of CPEs. It was found that the ionic conductivity and interfacial resistance stability of CPEs was significantly improved by the addition of IS-AS. In other words, the resistance stability and maximum ambient ionic conductivity of CPEs containing IS-AS filler were better than CPEs containing any other filler. |
