Polymer Electrolytes: Hopping, Domain Structures and Frequency-Dependent Conductivity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
The dynamic bond percolation model was developed to deal with dynamic disorder, treating ion mobility by a percolation model in which the assignment of any site-to-site jump as allowed or forbidden changes on a timescale related to the local reorganizational dynamics of the polymer segments (the renewal time). Here we discuss the special cases of highfrequency spectra and partially crystalline electrolytes. At high frequencies, the present hopping model yields unphysical behavior (frequencyindependent response); we trace this back to the incorrect treatment of short-time dynamics, and show how it can be corrected. For partially crystalline materials, we show that a rollover feature in the spectrum, in the microwave range, can be expected when ions are trapped in isolated regions of high conductivity, such as amorphous pockets in largely crystalline PEO.
