Abstract

Polymer electrolyte films of poly (vinyl) chloride (PVC) as polymer host doped with lithium triflate (LiCF3SO3) as doping salt were prepared by solution cast technique. The conductivities of the samples were investigated by using Impedance Spectroscopy (IS). The sample containing 45 wt. % LiCF3SO3 showed the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.0660x10-8 Scm-1. The reason for the high conductivity in this sample is attributed to its low crystallinity as accounted by XRD (X-ray diffraction).
