Abstract
The physical properties of the ionic conductor, obtained by dissolution of lithium trifluoromethanesulphonylimide in polyethylene oxide, (PEO)nLi+((CF3SO2)2N)- have been investigated for several values of n. The phase diagram has been established from both DSC and NMR techniques. The diffusion coefficients of 7Li and 19F containing Species, determined by the pulsed magnetic field gradient (PMFG) technique, are interpreted as the measures of the cationic and anionic transport numbers, which are concentration dependent, and t+ reaches a value close to 0.3. This study is complemented by a systematic analysis of the behaviour of the 7Li relaxation time T1 versus temperature and concentration which is correlated to the glass temperature Tg.
