Abstract

The present work reports the synthesis and morphological characterization of silver ion conducting polymer nanocomposite electrolyte membranes of composition (1-X)[70PEO:30AgCl]:XAg₂SO₄ prepared by hot press technique. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was used as host polymer while AgCl and Ag₂SO₄ were used as ionic dopants and nanofillers. Structural and morphological investigations were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results revealed a reduction in crystallinity and enhancement in amorphous nature due to strong polymer-salt interaction. SEM micrographs confirmed homogeneous surface morphology and uniform dispersion of nanofiller particles. The prepared membranes exhibit improved structural stability and are suitable for solid-state electrochemical device applications.

Keywords: Hot Press Technique, Polymer Nanocomposite Electrolyte, Solid Polymer Electrolyte, ionic mobility.
