Structural and Optical Properties of Li<sup>+</sup>: PVP & Ag<sup>+</sup>: PVP Polymer Films

Abstract

PVP polymers containing Li+ or Ag+ Ions have been synthesized in good stability and transparency by using the solution casting method. Their structural, optical, thermal and electrical properties have been investigated from the measurement of XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDAX, optical absorption spectra, TG-DTA profiles and impedance spectral features in order to evaluate their potentialities for their use in electrochemical display device applications.
