Sulfoanted poly(ether ether ketone) membranes were prepared by the sulfonating agent sulfuric acid. These membranes were modifed by incorporating conducting polymer polypyrrole in order to increase the ionic conductivity and reduce the methanol transmission rate. The modifed composite membranes were then compared on the basis of ionic conductivity, methanol transmission...

Bulk ionic conductivity, Ionic Thermal Current (I.T.C.), and Thermally Stimulated Polarization Current (T.S.P.C.) studies are reported for the system Bal-,LaXF2+, (0.12 x loe2 < x < 0.45). The obtained results are illustrative for the compositional dependence of the ionic conductivity of anion-excess solid solutions. For small solute content simple associates as well as free mobile fluoride int...

the density (d), speed of sound (u) and electrolytic conductivity (λ) for systems containing acetaminophen, ionic liquid {1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide, [omim] br} and water have been measured at t = 293.15-308.15 k. the measured data have been applied to calculate, standard partial molar volume ( ), hepler’s constant , apparent molar isentropic compressibility (kφ), transfer volume ( ),...

Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnets are one of the promising materials as electrolytes for solid-state batteries. In this study, Li7-3xAlxLa3Zr2O12 (x= 0.22, 0.25, and 0.28) garnet is synthesized using the combustion sol-gel method to stabilize the cubic phase for higher ionic conductivity. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of as-synthesized powders reveal that by addition of 0.22 and 0.25 mole Al, t...

Experimental measurements of ionic conductivity in water are analysed in order to obtain insight into the pressure dependence of limiting ionic conductivity of individual ions (λ) for ions of differing sizes. Conductivities of individual ions, λ do not exhibit the same trend as a function of pressure for all ions. Our analysis suggests that the effect of pressure on ionic conductivity depends o...

Charge transport in ionic liquids is a phenomenon of utmost interest for electrochemical (e.g. battery) applications, but also of high complexity, involving transport of ion pairs, charged clusters and single ions. Molecular understanding is limited due to unknown contributions of cations, anions and clusters to the conductivity. Here, we perform electrophoretic NMR to determine electrophoretic...

The development of direct methanol fuel cells required the attention to the electrolyte. A good electrolyte should not only be ionic conductive but also be crossover resistant. Ionic liquids could be a promising electrolyte for fuel cells. Monitoring methanol was critical in several locations in a direct methanol fuel cell. Conductivity could be used to monitor the methanol content in ionic liq...

Ion conducting polymer electrolytes composed of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and lithium triflate (LiTf) were prepared using the solution casting method. Structural change and complex formation in the blend electrolyte systems were confirmed from the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scann...
