Abstract

Poly (vinylchloride) (PVC)-LiBF4 polymer electrolytes plasticized with DBP in different mole ratios have been studied by FTIR and Impedance Spectroscopic techniques. The complexation has been confirmed from FTIR studies. The maximum room temperature conductivity (2.1·.10−7 S·.cm−1) has been observed for PVC-LiBF4-DBP (10-5-85 mole%) complex. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the polymer films seems to obey the VTF relation. The conductivity values are presented and the results are discussed.
