Abstract

Poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP)-ionic liquid gel electrolytes have been synthesized using ionic liquid 2,3-dimethyl-1-hexylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (DMHxImTFSI) and propylene carbonate. Ionic conductivity of the ionic liquid is 2.47 x 10^{- 3} Scm^-1 at 30^oC and polymer gel electrolytes also possess conductivity of the same order. The dependence of ionic conductivity on the concentration of ionic liquid, polymer and temperature has been studied. TGA/DSC (Thermogravimetric Analysis / Differential Scanning Calorimetry) studies show that the polymer gel electrolyte containing ionic liquid is thermally stable upto 100^oC.
