Abstract:

A series of polymer electrolytes was prepared by dissolving LiCF3SO3 at different ratios in the matrix of epichlorohydrin elastomers(ECO). It is found that the conductivity of ECO-LiCF3SO3 polymer electrolytes increases by nearly two orders of magnitude compared with that of PEO-LiCF3SO3 polymer electrolytes at ambient temperatures and does not exhibit a conductivity hysteresis in heating and cooling scans. The differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) results show the influence of lithium ion concentration on the glass transition temperature(Tg) of polymer electrolytes, while the Fourier transform infrared spectra(FTIR) studies demonstrate the interaction between LiCF3SO3 and polymer matrix. Both the enhancement of ionic conductivity and the lack of conductivity hysteresis for the electrolytes could be attributed to the amorphism of ECO.
