Effects of the electrolyte content on the electrical permittivity, thermal stability, and optical dispersion of poly(vinyl alcohol)–cesium copper oxide–lithium perchlorate nanocomposite solid-polymer electrolytes

Solid-polymer electrolytes (SPEs) in the form of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) doped with various amounts (5, 10, and 15 wt %) of lithium perchlorate trihydrate (LiClO4·3H2O) and 2 wt % cesium copper oxide (Cs2CuO2) nanoparticles were fabricated by a solvent intercalation method. The obtained nanocomposites were evaluated for their chemical structure and microstructural and morphological behaviors via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy methods, respectively. The obtained dielectric behaviors, alternating-current conductivity, dielectric modulus, and dielectric relaxation of the SPEs depended on the volume fraction of the electrolyte. Linear behavior of the current–voltage characteristics for all of the SPE films was observed with a slight deviation at a higher voltage. The thermal behaviors of the PVA–Cs2CuO2–LiClO4 films were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The refractive index, band-gap energy, and optical dispersion were examined with UV–visible spectroscopy. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 45852.
