Abstract

The effect of ZrO2 on the ionic conductivity of PVC composite polymer electrolytes was studied. The ionic conductivity, structural and thermal studies of polymer electrolytes based on PVC and Li2SO4 as lithium salt, with and without the presence of different concentrations of dispersed ZrO2 ceramic powder were analyzed. When the complex films were completely or closely amorphous, the conductivity was found to be the maximum. The peaks corresponding to lithium salts were reduced in intensity or absent in the polymer complxes, therby indicating the absence of excess salts in the polymer complex films.
