Raman Study of Free Volume Effects on Ion Pairs in Polymer Electrolytes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Ion associations are demonstrated from Raman spectra of the anion symmetric stretch in NaCF3SO3 and LiCF3SO3 containing salt polymer complexes based on PPO and siloxane modified PPO. The observation of increasing amount of ion pairs with increasing molecular weight and temperature can be explained by an entropically driven process. The entropy effect includes contributions from several factors related to transient cross-linking via the cations, conformational entropy of the polymer chains, and free volume dissimilarities between the solvated ions and the macromolecules.
