Abstract

PEO-based solid polymer electrolyte films with various concentrations of nanochitosan as filler and LiCF3SO3 as salt were prepared by membrane hot-press technique. Nanochitosan was prepared from chitosan by conventional chemical cure method. The prepared composite membranes were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, thermal, SEM, AFM analyses, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and compatibility studies. The ionic conductivity and thermal stability of the polymer membranes were enhanced significantly by addition of nanofiller. The compatibility studies reveal that filler incorporated membrane is better compatible with lithium interface than filler free electrolyte.
