Abstract

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based solid polymer electrolyte consisting lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF₄), ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) have been prepared using solution casting method. Comparative studies were done on unplasticized PAN-LiBF₄ system and the PAN plasticized system with the novel binary plasticizers of EC and DMP in the ratio of 1:1 by the variation of LiBF₄ concentration. The highest room temperature conductivity of electrolyte in PAN-LiBF₄ system is 1.83 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ while 1.08 × 10⁻² S cm⁻¹ is obtained from PAN-EC-DMP-LiBF₄ system. The complexation and structure of polymer electrolytes have been investigated as function of LiBF₄ content at different weight percentages. The morphology and crystalline phase of polymer host is completely changed on the addition of salt and plasticizers. The fraction of free ions is greatly dependent on the amount of salt and the presence of plasticizers.
