✦ Synopsis
A new plasticized poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP)/PPG-PEG-PPG diamine/organosilane blend-based polymer electrolyte system has been synthesized and characterized. The structural and electrochemical properties of the electrolytes thus obtained were systematically investigated by a variety of techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile test, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 13 C and 29 Si solid-state NMR, AC impedance, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and charge-discharge measurements. The FTIR and NMR results provided the information about the interaction among the constituents in the blend polymer membrane. The present blend polymer electrolyte exhibits several advantageous electrochemical properties such as ionic conductivity up to 1.3 × 10 -2 S cm -1 at room temperature, high value of Li + transference number (t + = 0.82), electrochemical stability up to 6.4 V vs. Li/Li + with the platinum electrode, and stable charge-discharge cycles for lithium-ion batteries.
