Abstract

In this work, the synthesis of a series of solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) derivatives of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA), homogenously dispersed with TiO2 ceramic nano-filler, has been reported. The interactions between filler size and the length of the ethylene oxide (EO) polymer backbone are discussed, and transport properties such as ionic conductivity and cation transference number are determined. Results show that the improved performance of the SPE is due to an interaction between the ceramic filler and the entwining behavior of the PEGMEMA backbone. An optimal ceramic filler size and an appropriate length of EO have been suggested for the enhanced performance of SPE derivatives of PEGMEMA for a next-generation polymer battery.
