Innovative Research Lab
We are Centre for Ionics University of Malaya, an interdisciplinary Research Lab based in Kuala Lumpur. Founded in 2007 by Prof. Dr. Abdul Kariem bin Mohd Arof although the idea came across his mind as early as 2005. Since then, C.I.U.M. has emerged as one of the leading research centers that has published more than 150 ISI-cited journal papers to-date.

Magnesium (II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) doped PVdC-co-AN gel polymer electrolytes for rechargeable batteries
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) containing poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile) (PVdC-co-AN) as the polymer host and plastic crystal succinonitrile (SN) as plasticizer were prepared with varied concentrations of 5 to 30 wt.% of magnesium (II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonimide) Mg(TFSI)2 salt. The conductivity temperature dependence studies of the GPE system was found to obey the VTF relation. To study the interaction among the constituents in the GPEs as well as to confirm the complexation between them, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. (FTIR) was carried out. The analysis of FTIR spectra was further investigated by deconvolution of the FTIR spectra to prove the dependability of ionic conductivity with the presence of free ions, ion pairs, and ion aggregates in the GPEs.
