Causes of the double maximum conductivity of nanocomposite polymer electrolytes for lithium power sources

Causes of the double maximum conductivity of nanocomposite net electrolytes in the presence of SiO₂ nanoparticles (7nm) were revealed by differential scanning calorimetry and quantum-chemical modeling. The first maximum results from increasing the dissociation of lithium salt, whereas the second one is due to the formation of conductive paths involving SiO₂ nanoparticles.
