Abstract

Recently, there has been considerable interest in advanced materials and processing techniques for practical applications. V2O5 xerogels have generated much attention because they are layered materials that undergo reversible redox intercalation with lithium. The sol-gel process has been used to intercalate V2O5 xerogels with the polymer electrolyte, oxymethylene linked poly(ethylene oxide) - lithium triflate [(a-PEO)n(LiCF3SO3)]. The resulting nanocomposite is a mixed ionic-electronic conductor in which the ionic charge carriers in the polymer electrolyte are in intimate contact with the electronic charge carriers in the V205 xerogel. Variable-temperature electronic conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements have been performed to examine the charge transport properties.
