The Effect of Different Weight Percentages of Lead (II) Oxide Nanoparticles Based Solid Polymer Electrolyte Towards Ionic Conductivity
Abstract
The solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) film based on hydroxylethyl cellulose, magnesium triflate, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium and lead(II) oxide nanoparticles was prepared by solution casting technique. The SPE formed exhibits low ionic conductivity at room temperature, hence various weight percentages (1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) of lead(II) oxide nanoparticles is incorporated into the SPE to enhance the conductivity. By conductivity studies it revealed that the maximum ionic conductivity of 4.99 10-4 S cm-1 is achieved for SPE with 3 wt. % of lead(II) oxide nanoparticles at room temperature. All the SPEs obeyed Arrhenius theory.
