Abstract
Ion-conducting nanocomposite polymer electrolyte films based on poly(ethylene oxide)-NaPO3 3: 1 with up to 15 wt % of SiO2 have been prepared using recently developed hot-press technique instead of conventional solution cast method. With 7 wt % of SiO2, the film conductivity has been enhanced by an order of magnitude. The materials have been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and thermogravimetric analysis. For the composition with the highest conductivity, the temperature dependences of ionic mobility, mobile ions concentration, ionic transference number, and ionic drift velocity have been determined. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss have been measured. The conductivity enhancement has been discussed on the basis of existing theories of dielectrics.
