Abstract
In this work, the polymeric electrolyte composites (PECs) based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), ethylene carbonate (EC) as a plasticizer, and lithium montmorillonite (Li-MMT) clay were fabricated, and investigated for understanding the effects of Li-MMT/EC in the polymer matrix on the ionic conductivity. For a lithium battery application, the native sodium cations in MMT were exchanged for lithium cations. As a result, the lithium ion was intercalated into the layer of the MMT clay, and thus PEO entered the galleries of MMT clay. The ionic conductivity was enhanced with increasing MMT contents due to the immobile MMT clay serving as the anion species and the decreased crystallinity of PEO.
