Solid composite polymer electrolytes consisting of high molecular weight polyethylene oxide (PEO) with potassium iodide (KI) and sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) as electrolyte salts and cerium oxide (CeO2) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles, respectively, as fillers have been prepared by standard solution cast technique. In the present work, PEO15-KI-CeO2 electrolytes have been prepared over a range of CeO2 content with particle size similar to 10 nm, whereas PEO25-NaClO4-ZrO2 electrolytes have been synthesized with various particle sizes of nano ZrO2 keeping the concentration constant to investigate the effect on the ionic conductivity.
