PVA-based polymer electrolytes were prepd. with various concns. of CdCl2 using solvent casting method. Prepd. polymer films were investigated using line profile anal. employing X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. XRD results show that the crystallite size decreases and then increases with increase in CdCl2. AC cond. in these polymer increases films first and then decreases. These observations are in agreement with XRD results. The highest ionic cond. of 1.68E-08 Scm-1 was obsd. in 4% of CdCl2 in PVA polymer blend. Crystallite ellipsoids for different concns. of CdCl2 are computed here using whole pattern powder fitting (WPPF) indicating that crystallite area decreases with increase in the ionic cond.
