Abstract:

PVC+ZnO+Mg(ClO4)2 nanocompistie polymer electrolyte of differnet concentrations of Mg(ClO4)2 electrolytes were prepared using solution casting technique and further characterized using XRD, FTIR and TGA & DTA. The results of XRD suggests that the high amorphous of the PVC/ZnO nanocomposite with x=50 wt.% Mg(ClO4)2. As it due to high amorphous nature it can show a good ionic conductivity. The FTIR peaks shifting may also representing change of bond length and attaining good amorphous nature. The high heat resistance for all the sample can notice for DGA-DTA.
