Effects of nano-ceramic filler titanium oxide (TiO₂) have been investigated on the ionic conductance of polymeric complexes consisting of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA), and lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄). The composite polymer blend electrolytes were prepared by solvent casting technique. The TiO₂ nanofillers were homogeneously dispersed in the polymer electrolyte matrix and exhibited excellent interconnection with PVC/PEMA/PC/LiClO₄ polymer electrolyte. The addition of TiO₂ nanofillers improved the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte to some extent when the content of TiO₂ is 15 wt%. The addition of TiO₂ also enhanced the thermal stability of the electrolyte. The changes in the structural and complex formation properties of the materials are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The scanning electronmicroscope image of nano-composite polymer electrolyte membrane confirms that the TiO₂ nanoparticles were distributed uniformly in the polymer matrix.
