Improved Conductivity in Gellan Gum and Montmorillonite Nanocomposites Electrolytes.

Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NPEs) were obtained using gellan gum (GG) and 1 to 40 wt.% of montmorillonite (NaSYN-1) clay. The NPEs were crosslinked with formaldehyde, plasticized with glycerol, and contained LiClO.

Nanocomposite Polymer Electrolytes of Sodium Alginate and Montmorillonite Clay.

Nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NPEs) were synthesized using sodium alginate (Alg) and either sodium (SCa-3-Na)- or lithium (SCa-3-Li)-modified montmorillonite clays. The samples were characterized by structural, optical, and electrical properties. SCa-3-Na and SCa-3-Li clays' X-ray structural analyses revealed peaks at 2θ = 7.
