Abstract :

Liquid electrolytes were prepared using PEG200 as host polymer and NH4SCN as ionic dopant with different concentration. The prepared liquid electrolytes were characterized by UV-VIS, FTIR, and ac impedance spectroscopic techniques. Transmittance of the electrolytes can be controlled by ionic dopant especially at UV wavelength region. Complex nature of liquid electrolytes is confirmed by FTIR analysis. DC conductivity of the liquid electrolyte is calculated as 0.32 mS/cm for 0.25g NH4SCN added system. It is also observed that dc conductivity mechanism dominates for all liquid electrolytes.
