Abstract

Thermal stability studies of a new hot-press synthesized silver ion conducting glass polymer electrolytes (GPEs): (1-x) PEO: x [0.75AgI:0.25(Ag₂O:WO₃)],where 0<x<50 wt.%, are reported. The composition: 70PEO: 30[0.75AgI:0.25(Ag₂O:WO₃)] with ionic conductivity (σ ~ 6.5×10^-7 S.cm^-1) have been identified as optimum conducting composition (OCC) from the room temperature dependent conductivity studies. Thermal stability and conductivity enhancement have been explained with the help of thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and temperature dependent ionic conductivity studies of all the samples. Solid state polymer battery has been formed by using the GPE OCC as an electrolyte and cell potential discharge characteristic studies have been done at different load resistances.
