  • conductivity and x ray photoelectron studies on Lithium Acetate doped chitosan films
    Carbohydrate Polymers, 2004
    Co-Authors: M Z A Yahya, A K Arof
    Abstract:

    Abstract Chitosan, ethylene carbonate (EC) and Lithium Acetate (LiOAc) were mixed in the desired proportions and dissolved in 100 ml of 1% acetic acid solutions. The solutions were then poured into various petri dishes and left to form films at room temperature. Complexation was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Lithium signal can be deconvoluted into three gaussian component peaks. One of the peaks at ∼55 eV is attributed to Li–N interaction. The nitrogen signal can be deconvoluted into two gaussian component peaks. The peak at ∼403.1 eV is attributed to N–Li interaction. The electrical conductivity of all samples was calculated using the bulk resistance value obtained from the complex impedance plot in the frequency range between 1 kHz and 1 MHz. The highest electrical conductivity obtained for the film containing LiOAc is 7.6×10 −6  S cm −1 at room temperature. The plot of conductivity, σ versus dopant content indicates that σ increases with increasing dopant content up to a dopant amount of 0.8 g LiOAc. The plot of ln σT versus 10 3 / T for each Lithium Acetate sample between 298 and 363 K shows beys Arrhenius behavior indicating that the conductivity occurs by way of some thermally assisted mechanism. The chitosan based samples may have potential use in replacing the liquid components of electrochromic devices.

  • effect of oleic acid plasticizer on chitosan Lithium Acetate solid polymer electrolytes
    European Polymer Journal, 2003
    Co-Authors: M Z A Yahya, A K Arof
    Abstract:

    Abstract Plasticized polymer electrolytes composed of chitosan as the host polymer, oleic acid (OA) as the plasticizer and Lithium Acetate (LiOAc) as the doping salt were prepared by the solution cast technique. These complexes with different amounts of salts and plasticizers were investigated as possible ionic conducting polymers. The highest ionic conductivity of the plasticized chitosan–LiOAc was ∼10 −5 S cm −1 for the film containing 40.0 wt.% LiOAc and 10.0 wt.% of OA. Conductivity for the plasticized LiOAc-doped chitosan polymer was also studied as a function of temperature between 300 and 363 K. The plot of ln( σT ) versus 10 3 /T for each sample obeys Arrhenius rule indicating the conductivity to be thermally assisted. XRD and FTIR spectroscopy techniques have been used for the structural studies.

  • studies on Lithium Acetate doped chitosan conducting polymer system
    European Polymer Journal, 2002
    Co-Authors: M Z A Yahya, A K Arof
    Abstract:

    Abstract The structure of chitosan contains the amine group that can act as electron donors. Complexation between chitosan and the salt can be proven by infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methods. The NH2, NH3+ and OC-NHR vibrations which can be observed at 1590, 1560 and 1650 cm−1 shift to lower wave numbers when the complexes are formed. The after deconvolution Li 1s core level spectrum of the chitosan–salt complexes can contain several gaussian components one of which has a binding energy peak at 55.2 eV which signifies Li–N interaction. The component that peaks at ∼403 eV in the N 1s core level spectrum complements the proof of N–Li interaction. The highest conductivity achieved for a plasticized chitosan–salt complex is of the order 10−6 S/cm using Lithium Acetate as the doping salt. Transference number studies prove that this material is ionic conductor and from transient ionic current studies that mobility of the ions is of the order of 10−4 cm2/V s.

  • isobaric vapor liquid equilibria for water acetic acid Lithium Acetate
    Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data, 2001
    Co-Authors: Ernesto Vercher, And Isabel M Vazquez, Antoni Martinezandreu
    Abstract:

    Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for all of the binary and ternary mixtures of water, acetic acid, and Lithium Acetate have been measured at 100.00 kPa using a recirculating still. To take into account the association of the acetic acid in the vapor phase, Marek's chemical theory has been considered. The three experimental binary data sets have been independently correlated using Mock's electrolyte NRTL model, and the binary parameters estimated for each binary system have been used to predict the ternary vapor−liquid equilibrium using the same model. No ternary parameters were required. The ternary equilibrium values obtained in this way agreed well with the experimental values.
