Preparation and Characterization on Nano-hybrid Composite Solid Polymer Electrolyte of PVdF-HFP /MG49-ZrO2 for Battery Application.

Initial study on nano composite polymer electrolyte of PVdF-HFP/MG49-ZrO₂ has been done. The zirconium was synthesis via in-situ sol-gel method in a dissolved polymer blends. The effects of different concentrations of zirconium and pH values have been investigated on nano composite polymer (NCP). Analysis impedance show that only at 6 wt. % of zirconium for all pH values show a semi-circle arc which have lowest value of bulk resistance. No ionic conductivity value is obtain due to the absent of ion charge carriers. Analysis of XRD revealed that crystallinity phase of the nano composite polymer was affect by different pH values. However, no significant changes have been observed in IR bands. This could well indicate that different pH medium did not affect the chemical bonding in the structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
