Abstract:

The present study focuses on the electrochemical performance of PEO/PMMA blended nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes [BNSPE] with Cadmium bromide (CdBr2) salt and Cerium oxide (CeO2) nanofiller. Thin films of blended nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes [BNSPE] were signalised by distinct way of working in characterization studies such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV Visible Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) have divulge the origination of an amorphous structure in the case of blended nanocomposite solid polymer electrolyte [BNSPE] system and the particle size were premeditated by using Debye-Scherrer equation. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) exploration were carried out to diagnosis the molecular interactions taking place within the blended nanocomposite solid polymer electrolyte [BNSPE] system and optical analysis was accomplished by UV spectroscopy whereas Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation has authorised the identification of the interaction of CeO2 nanofiller amalgamated with blended polymer electrolytes exhibiting an ameliorate amorphicity. The aim of present work is to be aware of the significance of CeO2 nanofillers with the blended nanocomposite solid polymer electrolyte [BNSPE] system towards recognition of an appreciable ionic conduction.
