Abstract
A series of novel plasticized nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes (PNCSPE) consisting of polyethylene oxide as polymer host, lithium bisoxalatoborate as salt with different weight ratios of succinonitrile and nano-hydroxyapatite was prepared by membrane hot-press technique. The electrical property of PNCSPE was investigated by AC impedance analysis. The migration of lithium ion in the polymer matrix was confirmed from cyclic voltammetry study. The incorporation of different compositions of filler and plasticizer in the polymer matrix significantly enhanced the amorphous nature resulted in increase in ionic conductivity of PNCSPE. The maximum ionic conductivity was found to be in the order of 10−3.1 S/cm.
