Abstract

Novel composite solid polymer dectrolytes (CSPEs) and composite gel polymer electrolytes (CGPEs) have been prepared. CSPE consists of poly(ether-urethane) network polymer, which is superior to poly(ethylene oxide) in mechanical stability due to its crosslinked structure, modified montmorillonite (MMMT) and LiClO4, and CGPE with good mechanical strength comprises of the CSPE and LiClO4-PC (propylene carbonate) solution. The ionic conductivity can be enhanced after the addition of MMMT, and CGPE exhibits ionic conductivity in the order of 10-3 S/cm at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity of the CSPE follows the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) equation. The effects of MMMT on the interactions in these systems and the possible conduction mechanisms are also discussed.
