Gm. Kloster et al., SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES OF NEW MIXED IONIC-ELECTRONIC CONDUCTING V2O5-POLYMER ELECTROLYTE XEROGEL NANOCOMPOSITES, Chemistry of materials, 8(10), 1996, pp. 2418
The polymer electrolyte, [(CH2O)(CH2CH2O)(8.7)](n)-LiCF3SO3 ((a-PEO)(n
)LiOTf), and V2O5 were combined by sol-gel chemistry to form layered x
erogel nanocomposites. These materials exhibit electronic conductivity
via the V2O5 component and ionic conductivity through the (a-PEO)(n)L
iOTf. The total conductivity is highly anisotropic with a perpendicula
r conductivity 6 orders of magnitude less than the parallel component.
