Resumen:
Different concentrations of TiO2 dispersed nano-composite proton
conducting polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared using solution
casting technique. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic analysis was
carried out to determine the vibrational investigations about the
prepared membranes. Variation of conductivity due to the incorporation
of TiO2 in polymer blend electrolyte was analyzed using Electrochemical
Impedance Spectroscopy and the value of maximum conductivity is
2.8x10(-5) Scm(-1) for 1mol% of TiO2 dispersed in polymer electrolytes.
Wagner polarization technique has been used to determine the value of
charge transport number of the composite polymer electrolytes. The
electrochemical stability window of the nano-composite polymer
electrolyte was analyzed using Linear Sweep Voltammetry. Fabrication of
Proton battery is carried out with configuration of Zn+ZnSO4.7H(2)O+AC
vertical bar Polymer electrolyte vertical bar MnO2+AC. Discharge
characteristics were investigated for polymer blend electrolytes and
1mol% TiO2 dispersed nano-composite polymer electrolytes at constant
current drain of 10 mu A. There is evidence of enhanced performance for
proton battery which was constructed using 1mol% TiO2 dispersed
nano-composite polymer electrolytes compared to the blend polymer
electrolytes.
