Ss. Rao et al., A NEW NA-CELL( ION CONDUCTING POLYMER ELECTROLYTE BASED ON (PEO+NAYF4) AND ITS USE AS A ELECTROCHEMICAL), Solid state ionics, 74(3-4), 1994, pp. 225-228
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) based solid polymer electrolyte with NaYF4
salt has been prepared and investigated by IR, optical absorption and
transport number measurements. The material is found to be a mixed (io
nic + electronic) conductor. An electrochemical cell with the configur
ation Na/PEO + NaYF4/(I2 + C + electrolyte) has been prepared and stud
ied its characteristics for which the open circuit voltage (OCV) and s
hort circuit current (SCC) are 2.4 V and 8 muA respectively. A number
of cell parameters evaluated are also reported.
