Thermal stability and ionic conductivity of polymeric complexes Pva-KHSO4

Its had synthesized highly conductive thin films of polymeric electrolytes, based on commercial glue (BASF's colbon) and KHSO4 salt, by means the solving casting method, using H3PO2 as common solvent. By high resolution thermal analysis and impedance spectroscopy we found that these complexes are highly amorphous and thermally stable in the 160 - 450 K temperature range. The glass transition temperature, Tg, varies with the salt concentration. The highest electrical conductivity at ambient temperature is obtained for x=0.16 salt concentration (on the higher concentrations range) and its value is around 10-2 (gamma cm)-1 , one of the highest reported in the literature for this type of compounds
