Keywords:
Solid polymer electrolyte, ionic conductivity, nanofiller, poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), aluminum oxideAbstract
This paper presents the investigation of physicochemical properties and ionic conductivity of PEO/PEG-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). The SPEs were prepared by blending between poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG). KI salt was added into the system of PEO blend PEG (PEO/PEG). The different amount of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) filler, 2-4 wt%, was loaded into the PEO/PEG/KI solid polymer electrolyte films. The lowest melting point and degree of crystallinity of the synthesized SPEs were observed on PEO/PEG/KI system with the addition of 2 wt% of Al2O3. The highest ionic conductivity of 8.6410-7 S/cm was observed at 30C for the incorporation of 4 wt%. Al2O3. The activation energies of each region tend to decrease with the increasing concentration of Al2O3 filler.
