研究目的
Investigating the optical, electrical, and thermal properties of poly(ethylene oxide) thin films dispersed with alum and carbon black nanoparticles for potential applications in solid-state electrochemical devices.
研究成果
The optical energy gap decreases with increasing alum content, indicating enhanced ionic and semiconducting properties. Electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity increase with alum concentration and temperature, with a relaxation peak in electric modulus at 600 kHz. The composites show promise for use in solid-state electrochemical devices due to improved properties.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific concentrations of alum and carbon black, and temperature ranges below the melting point of PEO (60°C). Measurements were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions, and real-world application performance may vary. The use of methanol as a solvent and potential impurities in alum could affect results.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved preparing hybrid polymer thin films by casting from solutions of PEO, alum, and carbon black in methanol. Optical properties were analyzed using UV-visible spectrophotometry, electrical properties with impedance analysis, and thermal conductivity via the heat pulsed method.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared with varying alum concentrations (0-16 wt%) and a fixed carbon black doping (
3：1 wt%). Data were collected from synthesized composite films. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included PEO powder (MW 300,000 g/mol), alum powder (potassium alum), carbon black powder, and methanol solvent. Equipment included a Cary spectrophotometer for optical measurements, Hewlett Packard (HP) 4192A impedance analyzer for electrical measurements, and a setup for thermal conductivity measurements using heat pulsed method with thermocouples and an oven.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Solutions were stirred, cast into thin films on glass molds, dried, and thickness measured. Optical absorbance and transmittance were measured at room temperature (300-800 nm), impedance and phase shift were measured over 100 kHz to 3 MHz and temperatures 30-55°C, and thermal conductivity was measured using pulsed heat method with temperature control.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Optical parameters were derived from absorption spectra using Tauc's plots and Urbach rule. Electrical data were analyzed using Arrhenius equation for activation energy, and thermal conductivity was calculated from heat flux equations.
