ANALYSIS OF THE IONIC CONDUCTIVITY OF PEO–PC–EC/AMMONIUM IODIDE POLYMER ELECTROLYTE AS A RELATIONSHIP WITH SALT MASS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper studies the ionic conductivity of a PEO–PC–EC/ammonium iodide (NH₄I)-based polymer electrolyte for organic solar cells (DSSC). The study analyzes how the ionic conductivity changes with the change in the mass fraction of ammonium iodide in the electrolyte. The experiments show that an increase in the salt content initially increases the conductivity by increasing the number of ions, but after a certain limit, the conductivity decreases due to ion pairing. The results obtained are important for determining the optimal salt concentration of polymer electrolytes and improving the efficiency of solar cells.
