Proton conductivity properties of acid doped fluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triazole

Novel proton conducting organic electrolyte containing fluoroalkylated 1,2,3-triazole was synthesized via intramolecular cyclisation of vinyl azides. FT-IR, elemental analysis and NMR methods were used for the characterization of the resulting organic molecule. Triazole containing sample was doped with triflic acid to obtain proton conducting organic electrolytes. Thermal stability of these materials was analyzed with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the melting temperatures were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of acid content on the proton conductivity was investigated with impedance spectrometer and the maximum proton conductivity was measured as 10−2 S/cm at 150 °C.
