Abstract
Clays have been synthesized and several types of molecules have been intercalated into them to enhance their ionic conductivity. The clay has the molecular formula of Litaeniolite, Li(Mg2Li)Si4O10F2, and the inserted molecules include PEO and two varieties of sulfone, tetramethylene sulfone and ethylmethyl sulfone. These have been made in the interest of electrolytes in lithium secondary batteries in order to produce a truly solid state cell. The products have been thoroughly characterized by x-ray diffraction to verify the uptake of the molecules into the layers, thermal analysis to observe the stabilization of the intercalated molecules, along with impedance measurements to test their conductivity.
