Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF)-based nanocomposite polymer electrolyte (NCPE) thin
films for electrochemical applications have been synthesized by solution cast technique.
NCPEs have 70PVDF:30Mg(NO$_3$)$_2$ solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) with conductivity
${\sim}$7.3 9 10$^{–8}$ S cm$^{–1}$ as phase-I and various nanoparticles as phase-II, dispersed in SPE
for enhancement in its conductivity. These NCPE films were characterized by Fourier
transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and impedance spectroscopic
techniques to study the structural and electrical properties. XRD and FTIR studies of
film confirms formation of complexes. From composition and temperature dependence of
conductivity analysis, we have obtained an optimum conducting composition of NCPE, i.e.,70PVDF:30Mg(NO$_3$)$_2$:3ZnO with conductivity
${\sigma}$ = 3.7 9 10$^{–4}$ S cm$^{–1}$. Ionic transport number (
