Effects of filler surface group on ionic interaction in PEG-LiCIO (sub 4)- Al(sub 2) O(sub 3) composite polyether electrolytes

The effect of filler surface group on the conductivity, ion-ion, ion-polymer interactions and microstructure of PEG-LiClO(sub 4)-Al(sub 2)O(sub 3) composite polymer electrolytes is examined. The addition of the filler results in the changes in ionic association as studied by FT-IR and by applying the Fuoss-Kraus formalism to the slat concentration dependence of the molar conductivity of the composite electrolytes studied.
