    High-performance PVdF-HFP/PEG-IL composites: the combined effects of PEG and ionic liquid on proton conductivity and dielectric characteristics
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2025) Yılmazoğlu, Mesut; Okkay, Hikmet; Abacı, Ufuk; Çoban, Ozan
    This study explores the influence of varying polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations on the properties of PVdF-HFP/PEG-IL polymer composites through comprehensive characterization techniques, including FTIR, SEM, TGA, DMA, XRD and the detailed assessments of proton conductivity, dielectric properties, and relaxation dynamics. In terms of conductivity, the addition of PEG markedly improves proton conductivity. The PVdF-HFP/PEG40-IL composite exhibits the highest conductivity, reaching 1.96 × 10⁻2 S/m at 1 MHz and 300 K, and increasing to 4.27 × 10⁻2 S/m at 420 K. Dielectric properties show that the dielectric constant (ε′) increases with PEG content at low frequencies but decreases at higher frequencies due to reduced ionic polarization. Notably, PVdF-HFP/PEG40-IL achieves a dielectric constant of 3.39 × 106 at 20 Hz, which decreases to 30.34 at 1 MHz. Dielectric loss (ε'') also rises with temperature, with PVdF-HFP/PEG40-IL demonstrating the highest dielectric loss, indicative of superior proton conduction and polarization capabilities. Relaxation dynamics, as evidenced by tanδ, reveal that relaxation time significantly decreases with both increased PEG content and temperature, dropping from 1.06 × 10⁻4 s to 2 × 10⁻6 s as PEG concentration increases from 10 % to 40 %. This reduction in relaxation time correlates with enhanced proton conductivity and faster dipole relaxation, indicating PEG effect as a plasticizer that reduces polymer viscosity and improves ion transport. In conclusion, incorporating PEG into PVdF-HFP-IL composites leads to substantial improvements in proton conductivity, dielectric properties, and relaxation dynamics. The results highlight the crucial role of PEG in optimizing the performance of polymer electrolyte composites, making them effective candidates for advanced energy storage and conversion applications.

    Proton conductivity and dielectric studies on chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol blend electrolytes: synergistic improvements with ionic liquid and graphene oxide
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024) Yılmazoğlu, Mesut; Okkay, Hikmet; Abacı, Ufuk; Çoban, Ozan
    This study investigates the impact of ionic liquid, 1-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (IL) and graphene oxide (GO) on the performance of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA)-based composite electrolytes. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm the successful incorporation of IL and GO, affecting the structural and morphological properties of the electrolytes. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) reveals enhanced thermal stability in GO-doped samples, with increased residual weight at high temperatures, while IL addition leads to higher initial weight loss due to its hygroscopic nature. Ionic conductivity measurements demonstrate that the CS/PVA/IL-GO(4.0) composite achieves the highest proton conductivity of 1.76 × 10?3 S/m at 300 K and 1 MHz, surpassing other samples and aligning with top values reported in literature. Dielectric studies show a significant increase in dielectric constant to 9.55 × 104 at 300 K and 20 Hz for CS/PVA/IL-GO(4.0), attributed to enhanced dipole alignment and polarization effects. The loss tangent analysis indicates the shortest relaxation time of 2.07 × 10?4 s for CS/PVA/IL-GO(4.0), correlating with its superior proton conductivity. These findings highlight the potential of CS/PVA/IL-GO electrolytes for advanced energy storage and conversion applications, suggesting further research into GO dispersion and long-term stability for optimized performance in practical devices.
