In view of the potential technological impact of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) in the domain of solid-state electrochemistry, particularly in the production of advanced batteries, sensors and electrochromic and photoelectrochemical devices, the sub-class of SPE materials has attracted considerable interest during the last two decades. Li+-doped ormolyte systems obtained using the sol-gel method has been inv...
In Press; available online 10 November 2011 ; Sol-gel derived KCF3SO3-doped di-urethane cross-linked poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL(530))/siloxane ormolytes with ∞ > n ≥ 0.5 (n indicates the number of (C(=O)(CH2)5O) repeat units per K+ ion) have been studied. Xerogel samples with n ≥ 1 are thermally stable up to 235 ºC. A minor proportion of PCL crystallites occur in some dilute-to-concentrated samples. At n ≤ 4 a ...
Em publicação ; Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) systems based on interpenetrating blends of poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) host matrices, with lithium perchlorate as guest salt, were prepared. These electrolytes were presented as free-standing films, and their thermal and electrochemical properties were characterized by conductivity and electrochemical stability measure...
The sol-gel process has been used to prepare hybrid electrolytes composed of a poly(oxyethylene) (POE)/siloxane hybrid network doped with lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4) with compositions of n between ∞ and 2.5. In this context the lithium salt concentration is expressed in terms of the number of oxyethylene units in the organic component of the network per Li+ ion. Electrolyte samples with n ≥ 20 are thermal...
In this exploratory study the results of characterisation of a poly(oxyethylene) (PEO)/siloxane hybrid network electrolyte doped with lithium hexafluoroarsenate (LiAsF6) are described. In accordance with convention, the lithium salt concentration is expressed in terms of the number of oxyethylene units in the organic component of the host network per Li+ ion guest species. Samples of solvent-free electrolytes w...
Sol-gel derived cross-linked PEO/siloxane xerogels (designated as di-ureasils) were prepared using lithium trifluoromethanesulfonyl imide (LiTFSI) as a guest salt. In this paper we describe the assembly of a prototype solid-state electrochromic device (ECD) based on a four-layer sandwich structure, with the following configuration: glass/IZO/WO3/polymer electrolyte/IZO/glass. The electrochromic switching perfor...
