Structure, morphology, thermal and conductivity properties of gel electrolyte system based on polyvinyl chloride and LiClO4

Abstract

The dynamics of atoms and molecules in gel electrolyte based on polyvinyl chloride and a solution of LiClO4 in propylene carbonate was studied by the method of quasielastic scattering of slow neutrons. The coefficients of self-diffusion of atoms and molecules are determined and a possible variant of the mechanism of charge transport in this system is proposed.
