A Direct Current Pulse Technique To Enhance Conductivity Of Heterogeneous Electrolytes

摘要

A heterogeneous electrolyte comprised of PEG(6000): LiClO_4 (8:1 )-MgO (20 wt.%) was prepared and characterized. The electrolyte was subjected to a DC potential of 10 mV and the effect of the potential on conductivity evolution was investigated. The DC potential enhanced the conductivity by a factor of 25. The enhancement in conductivity was due to the formation of space charge around MgO that resulted in the development of an internal field.
