Role of composite MnO2 cathode on electrochemical cells based on polymer electrolyte (PEO/NaClO3)

Role of composite MnO2 cathode on electrochemical cells based on polymer electrolyte (PEO/NaClO3) Thin-film sodium-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene oxide (PEO) system was prepared by solvent casting method. The thin-film electrolytes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and alternating current conductivity, and Wagner’s polarization method. The complexation of salt with PEO was confirmed by XRD and IR studies. The charge transport of these electrolytes is mainly due to ions, which was confirmed by the transference number experiment. The conductivity studies show that the conductivity value of PEO/NaClO3 complex increases with the increase of temperature as well as the addition of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, and propylene carbonate. The electrolyte stability and cell reversibility were analyzed by CV studies. Electrochemical cells have been fabricated with a common cell configuration Na|electrolyte|(MnO2 + I2 + C + electrolyte), and their discharge characteristic studies were made through a load 100 kΩ at room temperature. The measured open circuit voltage ranges from 2.80 to 2.54 V with short circuit current ranges from 667 to 1,000 μA and several other cell parameters were evaluated. Finally, the merit of the composite cathode is found with the comparison of the MnO2 cathode. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ionics Springer Journals

Abstract

Thin-film sodium-ion-conducting polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene oxide (PEO) system was prepared by solvent casting method. The thin-film electrolytes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and alternating current conductivity, and Wagner’s polarization method. The complexation of salt with PEO was confirmed by XRD and IR studies. The charge transport of these electrolytes is mainly due to ions, which was confirmed by the transference number experiment. The conductivity studies show that the conductivity value of PEO/NaClO3 complex increases with the increase of temperature as well as the addition of low molecular weight polyethylene glycol, dimethyl formamide, and propylene carbonate. The electrolyte stability and cell reversibility were analyzed by CV studies. Electrochemical cells have been fabricated with a common cell configuration Na|electrolyte|(MnO2 + I2 + C + electrolyte), and their discharge characteristic studies were made through a load 100 kΩ at room temperature. The measured open circuit voltage ranges from 2.80 to 2.54 V with short circuit current ranges from 667 to 1,000 μA and several other cell parameters were evaluated. Finally, the merit of the composite cathode is found with the comparison of the MnO2 cathode.
