Solid polymer electrolytes electrolytes based Poly
(ethylene oxide) (PEO) complexed with sodium
trifluoromethanesulfonate (NaCF3SO3
) salt were prepared by
using solution cast technique. Ion-polymer ionic conductivity
and interaction studies have been reported by Electrical
Impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR studies suggested that there are
stronger interaction between Na+
ions and the polymer than
interaction of anions cations of the salt. The temperature
dependance electrical conductivity of polymer electrolytes films
follow Arrhenius relation and the low activation energy 0.2993
eV was observed for PEO-18 wt. % NaCF3SO3 below 323 K.
