Influence of solvating plasticizer on ion conduction
Lithium ion conduction is investigated for a polysiloxane-based single-ion conductor containing weak-binding borates and cyclic carbonate side chains, plasticized with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG). The addition of PEG increases the conductivity by up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to the host ionomer.
Frontiers | Ion Transport in Solvated Sodium-Ion Conducting
Solvents employed in GPEs can increase ionic conductivity by either softening the polymer matrix and lowering the glass transition temperature or improving dissociation of the ionic species and increasing the amount of mobile charge carriers ( Arya and Sharma, 2017; Choi and Colby, 2017 ).
The Role of Solvating 12-Crown-4 Plasticizer on Dielectric
The plasticization directly boosts ionic conductivity of the plasticized ionomer by 5× over the whole temperature range studied, revealing that ion motion is assisted by segmental dynamics.

Influence of Solvating Plasticizer on Ion Conduction
Further, the PEG ether oxygens lower the activation energy of simultaneously conducting ions (from 14 to 8 kJ/mol), significantly increasing conducting ion content by 100X, suggesting that ion aggregates observed in the host ionomer are solvated by PEG.

The glass transition temperature increases gradually as ions are incorporated at low ion content then more strongly as the ion content reaches 51 mol % NaSS comonomer (1:9 ion to ether oxygen (EO) ratio), exceeding the polarizability volume overlap for contact pairs at 35 mol % NaSS comonomer.
- How does plasticizer affect ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes?
- The incorporation of substantial amount of plasticizer in the polymer electrolytes enhances the ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes. Plasticizer facilitates the reduction of crystalline nature of the polymer matrix and also increases the polymer segmental mobility.
- Do plasticizers enhance lithium ion transport in PEO-based solid polymer electrolytes?

- Can plasticizer increase ionic conductivity at ambient temperature?
- The introduction of plasticizer to the PVA–H 3 PO 4 polymer electrolytes has proved to be a convenient method to increase the ionic conductivity at ambient temperature. Incorporation of PEG to the PVA–H 3 PO 4 leads to an increment in its amorphous phase caused by lowering of glass transition temperature.
- How does ion segregation affect ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes?
- The ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes is impeded by ion segregation of changed species as ion pairs, or higher ion aggregates called charged multiples of ions. The less ionic conductivity is also observed when the salt with more lattice energy or large inter coulombic interaction is added with polymer host as ionic dopant.
- Do plasticizers affect ion transport properties of PVA-LiClO 4 electrolytes?
- The effect of plasticizers, sulfolane/triton incorporation on the ion transport properties of PVA-LiClO 4 electrolytes is discussed here. A series of PVA-LiClO 4 electrolytes are prepared and among them 80mol%PVA-20mol%LiClO 4 shows the conductivity of 5.64 ± 0.44 × 10 −5 S cm -1 at room temperature and its Nyquist plot is given in Fig. 5a.
- What is the optimum ionic conductivity of plasticized polymer electrolyte film?
- The optimum ionic conductivity value of the plasticized polymer electrolyte film of 30 wt% PEG has been achieved to be of the order of 10 −4 S cm −1 at room temperature and corresponding ionic transference number is 0.98. The minimum activation energy is found to be 0.25 eV for optimum conductivity condition. 1. Introduction
