ABSTRACT
In
the present work, polymer electrolytes of poly(vinylidene fluoride
co-hexafluoroproplyne) (PVDF-HFP)
and PVDF-HFP/poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PVDF-HFP/PEMA)
blend complexed with different concentrations of ammonium triflate (NH4CF3SO3)
were prepared and characterized. The structural and thermal properties of the
electrolytes were studied by XRD and DSC while
the electrical properties were investigated by impedance spectroscopy. Ionic
transference number measurements were done by D.C polarization technique. The
results of these study showed that the PVDF-HFP/PEMA based electrolytes exhibit higher ionic conductivity as compared
to PVDF-HFP based electrolytes. This could be
attributed to the higher degree of amorphicity in the PVDF-HFP/PEMA based electrolytes. The results of ionic transference number
measurements showed that the charge transport in these electrolytes was mainly
due to ions and only negligible contribution comes from electrons.

ABSTRAK
Dalam
penyelidikan ini, elektrolit polimer poli(vinilidin florida
ko-heksafloropropilin) (PVDF-HFP)
dan campuran PVDF-HFP/poli(etil metakrilat) (PEMA)
dengan kepekatan amonium triflat yang berbeza telah disediakan dan dicirikan.
Sifat-sifat struktur and terma elektrolit telah dikaji menggunakan pembelauan
sinar-X dan analisis pengimbas kaloritmetri sementara sifat elektrik diukur
menggunakan spektroskopi impedans. Pengukuran nombor permindahan ion telah
dilakukan menggunakan teknik pengutuban A.T. Kajian menunjukkan bahawa
elektrolit berasaskan PVDF-HFP/PEMA mempunyai kekonduksian ion yang lebih tinggi berbanding
elektrolit berasaskan PVDF-HFP.
Ini disebabkan oleh darjah amorfus yang lebih tinggi di dalam elektrolit
berasaskan PVDF-HFP/PEMA.
Keputusan pengukuran nombor pemindahan ion menunjukkan bahawa pengangkutan cas
di dalam sistem ini disebabkan oleh ion-ion dengan sedikit sumbangan daripada
elektron.
