Abstract: 

A series of nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes (NCSPE) consisting of PMMA as host polymer, lithium bisoxalatoborate (LiBOB) as doping salt and nano-hydroxy apatite as filler have prepared by membrane hot-press method. To enhance the electrochemical properties and stiffness of polymer electrolyte film, a bioactive ceramic filler nano-hydroxy apatite is incorporated in the polymer matrix. The prepared different weight contents of NCSPE films are subjected to various electrochemical characterizations such as ionic conductiv- ity, electric modulus and dielectric spectroscopy studies. The complexation behavior and structural reorganization in polymer electrolytes are confirmed by means of FT-IR (Fourier-Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy) analysis. The electrical response and relaxation of dipole in polymer electrolytes are investigated by means of electric modulus and dielectric studies. The addition of nano-hydroxy apatite signifi- cantly enhances the ionic conductivity and blocking the reorganizing tendency of polymer matrix. The maximum ionic conductivity is found to be in the range of 10-4.8 S/cm for sample containing 10 wt. % nanoceramic filler.
