Ionic liquid-polymer gel electrolytes based on morpholinium salt and PVdF(HFP) copolymer

摘要

New ionic liquid—polymer gel electrolytes (IPGEs) are prepared from N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholinium bis(trifluorornethanesulfonyl)imide (Mor_(1,2)TFSI) and poly(vinylidene fluoride)-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVdF(HFP)). To investigate the effect of propylene carbonate (PC) on the ionic conductivity of the IPGEs, the preparation methods are roughly divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PC. The ionic conductivity for each IPGE is measured with increasing temperature and changing weight ratio of Mor_(1,2)TFSI. The results show that the ionic conductivity increases as the temperature and weight ratio of the Mor_(1,2)TFSI increase, and that the added PC improves the ionic conductivity of the IPGEs. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis and the data from infrared spectroscopy demonstrate the thermal stability of each IPGE and the presence of PC in the polymer network. Although the IPGEs that contain PC display high conductivity (～1.1 x 10~(-2) S cm~(-1)) at 60℃, they are thermally unstable.
