Preparation and characterization of poly(lithium acrylate-arcylonitrile)/LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr solid polymer electrolytes

Through orthogonal experiment, a new type of LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salt with optimum mole ratio of n(LiClO4):n(LiNO3):n(LiBr) = 1.6:3.8:1.0 was prepared. The poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile)/LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr solid polymer electrolytes were prepared with poly (lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) and LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts. The effect of LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts content on the conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes was studied by alternating current impedance method, and the structures of eutectic salts and solid polymer electrolytes were characterized by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry. The results show that the room temperature conductivity of LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts reaches 3.11×10−4 S · cm−1. The poly (lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile)/LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr solid polymer electrolytes possess the highest room temperature conductivity at 70% LiClO4-LiNO3-LiBr eutectic salts content, and exhibit lower glass transition temperature of 75 °C compared with that of poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) of 105 °C. A complex may be formed in the solid polymer electrolytes from the differential thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy analysis. X-ray diffraction results show that the poly(lithium acrylate-acrylonitrile) can suppress the crystallization of eutectic salts in this system.

Effects of water phase concentration on the emulsion polymerization of polyaniline

The emulsion polymerization of aniline in three-phase system of xylene-functionalized protonic acid-water was carried out using (NH4)2S2O4 as oxidant. The influences of water phase concentration on the viscosity, conductivity, transmittance of polyaniline(PAN) latex and its powders were studied. The results show that the properties of PAN prepared through the emulsion polymerization are influenced by the amount of water used in the polymerization. The morphology of PAN varies with the water phase concentration used in the polymerization, which may result in the change of properties of PAN latex and its powders. When the volume fraction of water (φ) is about 20%–30%, the prepared PAN powder has higher conductivity, and the PAN latex has appropriate viscosity and particle size. The consumption of xylene was reduced at high φ value.

Coprecipitation preparation and voltage sensitive characteristics of doped ZnO varistor

A process of preparing ZnO voltage-sensitive ceramics doped with some oxides by coprecipitation was described in the paper. The thermal properties of ZnO nanometer powders and the current-voltage characteristics of the ceramics have been investigated. The results showed that the six-additive ZnO powders with hexagonal system were homogeneous grain size distribution in microstructure, the optimal reaction pH is 6.90±0.05, the temperature for calcining and sintering was at about 500 °C and 1100 °C, respectively. The powders were also examined by SEM, IR and XRD etc, and the effect of doping La2O3 on the electrical properties of ZnO varistor was investigated too.
