Abstract

We report the studies on composite gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) comprising 0.5 M solution of sodium trifluoromethane sulfonate (Na-triflate or NaTf) in ionic liquid 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfonate (EMITf) entrapped in poly (vinylidinefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) dispersed with passive filler Al₂O₃ and active filler NaAlO₂ particles. The free-standing films of the composite GPEs, prepared from solution-cast method, offer optimum ionic conductivity at room temperature (6.3–6.8 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ and 5.5–6.5 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ for Al₂O₃- and NaAlO₂-dispersed GPEs, respectively), with sufficient electrochemical stability and excellent thermal stability up to 340 °C. As observed from XRD and SEM, the composites are of predominantly amorphous and porous character, which support the high ionic conduction. The sodium ion transport number has been found to be ∼0.27 for Al₂O₃-dispersed GPE and 0.42 for NaAlO₂-dispersed GPE, which indicates the predominant role of passive and active fillers, Al₂O₃ and NaAlO₂, respectively. The dispersion of NaAlO₂ enhances the sodium ion conductivity in composite GPE substantially. The overall ionic conductivity is same as in the case of Al₂O₃ dispersion. The performance characteristics of GPE, particularly, dispersed with active filler NaAlO₂ show its potential applicability as electrolyte/separator in sodium batteries.
