In this study, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is conducted with recurrence relation to study the effect of SiO₂ with different particle size and their roles in enhancing the ionic conductivity and lithium transference number of PMMA composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs). The MC simulated ionic conductivity is verified with the measurements from Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Then, the lithium transference number of CPEs is calculated using recurrence relation with the MC simulated current density and the reference transference number obtained. Incorporation of micron-size SiO₂ (≤10 ㎛) fillers into the mixture improves the ionic conductivity from 8.60×10^-5 S/cm to 2.35×10^-4 S/cm. The improvement is also observed on the lithium transference number, where it increases from 0.088 to 0.3757. Furthermore, the addition of nano-sized SiO₂ (≤12 nm) fillers further increases the ionic conductivity up towards 3.79×10^-4 S/cm and lithium transference number of 0.4105. The large effective surface area of SiO₂ fillers is responsible for the improvement in ionic conductivity and the transference number in PMMA composite polymer electrolytes.

Lithium p-［Methoxyoligo(ethyleneoxy)］ benzenesulfonates (LiEOnBS) with different repeating unit of ethylene oxide were synthesized and were used for preparing gel-polymer electrolytes. The conductivities and lithium ion transference number were measured as a function of Li-salt concentration and repeating unit of ethylene oxide of the LiEOnBS. The maximum conductivity of the resulting gel-polymer electrolyte was found to be 4.89${\times}$10$\^$－4/ S/cm (LiEO7.3BS, 0.5 M) at 30$^{\circ}C$. The lithium ion transference number (t$\sub$Li$\sub$＋//) measurement were performed by means of the combination do polarization and ac impedance methods in gel-polymer electrolytes. Lithium ion transference number was measured to be in the range of 0.75∼0.92 for the LiEOnBS containing gel-polymer electrolytes. The maximum t$\sub$Li$\sub$＋// was obtained to be 0.92 for the 0.1 M LiEOnBS containing polymer electrolytes. The synthesized LiEOnBS showed single ion transport like characteristics when n was large than 3.

In the study, the total conductivies in [(Ce $O_2$)$_{1-x}$ (Zr $O_2$)$_{x}$]$_{0.8}$(Sm $O_{1.5}$)$_{0.2}$ (x- 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) solid solution were measured as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure between 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ using 4-probe d.c method. Under pure oxygen atmospere, the oxygen ionic conductivity of [(Ce $O_2$)$_{1-x}$ (Zr $O_2$)$_{x}$]$_{0.8}$(Sm $O_{1.5}$)$_{0.2}$ decreased with the concentration of Zr $O_2$At high oxygen partial pressure, the electrical conductivity is almost independent of oxygen partial pressure and decreased with the increase in Zr content. However, the electrical conductivity increase with decreasing oxygen partial pressure and is almost independent of Zr content at low oxygen partial pressure. Empirically, Total conductivity( $\sigma$ ) was expressed by the p$o_{2}$ -independent conductivity as $\sigma$$_{i}$, and the $p_{-1/4}$ $o_{2}$sup -dependent part as $\sigma$$_{e}$. Total, ionic and electronic conductivities fitted by data enabled to determine the transference number. The ionic transference number( $t_{i}$ ) decreased while the electronic transference( $t_{e}$ ) increase with the increase in Zr content and p$o_{2}$.
