Abstract

Present work deals with findings on dielectric behaviour and a.c. conduction in a ferrite doped polymer nano composite electrolyte system, namely [(100−x) PEO + xNH4SCN]: ferrite. The formation of nano composite and structural behavior of electrolyte was studied by XRD and SEM images. The effect of salt and ferrite on conductivity behaviour of PEO based nano composite polymer electrolyte has been investigated by the impedance spectroscopy at room temperature. The variation of dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss with frequency was carried out at ambient temperature. The a.c. conductivity seems to follow the universal power law.
