Abstract
Solution casting method was used to prepare SiO2 nanocomposite polymer electrolytes with poly-ethylene oxide, poly-vinylidene fluoride and NaClO4 salt. Different weight percentages of SiO2 was dispersed to optimize the ionic conductivity. Characterizations were carried out to analyze the average particle size, surface morphology, and functional groups respectively. Electric modulus, dielectric, and electrical response were investigated using impedance analyser. Wagner's polarization method was emphasized and the best ion transport number was observed for 3 wt% SiO2. Impedance spectroscopy was utilized to study the electrical and dielectric response. Ion concentration, diffusion coefficient & mobility of target samples were calculated. Incorporating the silica nanoparticles led to a significant improvement in ionic conductivity and maximum (0.1496 x 10 −3 S/cm) was observed. The frequency independent conductivity has been seen up to 105 Hz with addition of nanoparticles. The rise in conductivity and increase in plateau of frequency independence by the nanofiller could be due to creation of new ion conducting free paths and increased amorphous nature confirmed by XRD and SEM analysis.
