ABSTRACT

 

This paper is focussed on conductivity and dielectric properties of Poly (vinyl) chloride (PVC)- ammonium triflate (NH4CF3SO3) - butyltrimethyl ammonium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide (Bu3MeNTf2N) ionic liquid, electrolyte system. The electrolyte is prepared by solution cast technique. In this work, the sample containing 30 wt. % NH4CF3SO3 exhibits the highest room temperature conductivity of 2.50 × 10-7 S cm-1. Ionic liquid is added in various quantities to the 70 wt. % PVC-30 wt. % NH4CF3SO3 composition in order to enhance the conductivity of the sample. The highest conductivity at room temperature is obtained for the sample containing 15 wt. % Bu3MeNTf2N with a value of 1.56 × 10 -4 S cm-1. The effects of ionic liquid addition on the frequency dependent dielectric properties of PVC based electrolytes is investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) at room temperature. The values of dielectric constant were found to increase with increasing conductivity of the samples. Analysis of the ac conductivity data showed the electrolytes to be of the non-Debye type.

 

Keywords: Dielectric properties; EIS; ionic liquid; non-Debye type

 

ABSTRAK

Kertas ini memberi tumpuan kepada kajian konduktiviti dan dielektrik Poli (vinil) klorida (PVC)- ammonium triflat (NH4CF3SO3)- bis butyltrimethyl ammonium (Sulfonyl trifluoromethyl) imide (Bu3MeNTf2N), cecair ionik, sistem elektrolit. Elektrolit telah disediakan dengan teknik cast penyelesaian. Dalam penyelidikan ini, sampel yang mengandungi 30 %bt NH4CF3SO3 dipamerkan pada suhu bilik tertinggi kekonduksian 2.50×10-7 S cm-1. Cecair ionik kemudiannya ditambah dalam kuantiti yang pelbagai 70 %bt PVC-30 %bt NH4CF3SO3 komposisi dalam usaha untuk meningkatkan kekonduksian sampel. Kekonduksian tertinggi diperoleh pada suhu bilik 1.56×10-4 Scm-1 untuk sampel yang mengandungi 15 %bt Bu3MeNTf2N. Kesan sampingan cecair ionik pada sifat frekuensi dielektrik bergantung kepada elektrolit berasaskan PVC telah dikaji oleh spektroskopi impedans elektrokimia (EIS) dalam suhu bilik. Nilai pemalar dielektrik didapati telah meningkat dengan peningkatan kekonduksian sampel. Analisis ac kekonduksian data menunjukkan elektrolit adalah bukan dari jenis Debye.

 

Kata kunci: Cecair ionik; EIS; jenis bukan-Debye; sifat dielektrik
