Modeling electrode polarization in dielectric spectroscopy: Ion mobility and mobile ion concentration of single-ion polymer electrolytes

The Journal of Chemical Physics
Robert J KleinJames Runt

Abstract

A novel method is presented whereby the parameters quantifying the conductivity of an ionomer can be extracted from the phenomenon of electrode polarization in the dielectric loss and tan delta planes. Mobile ion concentrations and ion mobilities were determined for a poly(ethylene oxide)-based sulfonated ionomer with Li(+), Na(+), and Cs(+) cations. The validity of the model was confirmed by examining the effects of sample thickness and temperature. The Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT)-type temperature dependence of conductivity was found to arise from the Arrhenius dependence of ion concentration and VFT behavior of mobility. The ion concentration activation energy was found to be 25.2, 23.4, and 22.3+/-0.5 kJmol for ionomers containing Li(+), Na(+), and Cs(+), respectively. The theoretical binding energies were also calculated and found to be approximately 5 kJmol larger than the experimental activation energies, due to stabilization by coordination with polyethylene glycol segments. Surprisingly, the fraction of mobile ions was found to be very small, <0.004% of the cations in the Li(+) ionomer at 20 degrees C.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
