Abstract

There has been an increasing interest towards the incorporation of nanosize ceramic fillers in polymer electrolytes. Solid polymer electrolytes based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), silver triflate (AgCF3SO3), and x wt% of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanopowders (where x = 1, 3, 5, and 10, respectively) have been prepared using solution casting technique. The structural characteristics of these thin film specimens were studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns at room temperature. The appearance of new absorption bands and gradual shifts observed in some characteristic peaks confirmed the complex formation between polyvinylidene fluoride and silver triflate. Furthermore, the addition of nanosized filler Al2O3 has also indicated the interaction of the filler with the polymer salt complex. The XRD patterns obtained for all these samples in the 2θ range 10° to 70° showed the amorphous nature of these samples.
