Li ion Conduction in Cross-Linked Peo-LiCF3SO3 Complex

Abstract

AbstractIonic migration of cross-linked amorphous Poly (Ethylene Oxide)-LiCF3SO3was investigated by measuring ionic conductivity and diffusion coefficient. Pulsed-Field-Gradient NMR (PFG-NMR) was used for the diffusion measurement. The measurements were carried out at a temperature region between room temperature and 120°C. The PFG-NMR mea-surement shows the two modes of migration of both cation(Li) and anion (CF3 SO3-) for specimens containing plasticizer (CH30(CHeiH20)gH3C). The two modes of migration for anion are present for specimens without the plasticizer. Li+ transport number is found to be less than 0.1 for specimens without the plasticizer. Plasticizer is found to increase the Li+ ion transport number.
