AN ELECTRONIC-IONIC POLYMER SENSOR FOR VOLTAGE GENERATION

The present invention relates to an electronic-ionic polymer sensor for voltage generation comprising a polymer blend membrane, wherein said polymer blend membrane comprises a TER polymer. a polyvinylpyrrolydine (PVP), and a polymer mixture of two ionomers; and an ionic liquid. The TER polymer is a polymeric mixture of Vinylidene fluoride, Trifluoroethylene, and Chlorotrifluoroethylene. The polymer mixture is PEDOT:PSS and wherein said ionomers are poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and polystyrene sulfonate. Further, various experiments performed taking different ratios of the TER polymer, the polyvinylpyrrolydine (PVP), and said polymer mixture used for preparing the polymer blend membranes. A method of fabrication of electronic-ionic polymer blend sensor is also disclosed. The electronic-ionic polymer sensor having sensing voltage up to 27 V is disclosed.
