چکیده
Magnesium-ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) based on PMMA with ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) as a plasticizing solvent were prepared via the solution casting technique. Mg(CF3SO3)2 salt was used as source of magnesium ions, Mg 2+ . The variation of conductivity with salt concentrations, from 5 wt.% to 30 wt.% was studied. The gel polymer electrolyte with composition 20 wt.% of Mg(CF3SO3)2 exhibited the highest conductivity of 1.27 x 10 -3 S cm -1 at room temperature. The conductivity-temperature dependence of gel polymer electrolyte films obeys Arrhenius behaviour with activation energy in the range of 0.18 eV to 0.26 eV. Ionic transport number was evaluated using DC polarization technique and it reveals the conducting species are predominantly ions. It is found that the ionic conductivity and transport properties of the prepared GPEs are consistent with the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) studies.

Novel polymer gel electrolytes have been prepared by incorporating LiI-I(2) solutions into a polyethylene oxide matrix supported by a TiO(2) filler. The gel electrolytes, based on either acetonitrile or propylene carbonate solvents are compared with liquid standard ones and are examined by (7)Li solid state nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry and diffusion measurements. In parallel, the trii...
