Systems of poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(ethylene glycol), PEG, with dissovled lithium borohydride (LiBH4), sodium borohydride (NaBH4), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), or sodium tetrafluoroborate (NaBF4) at various concentrations were studied via FT-IR spectropscopy. Differences in cation-anion and ion-polymer interactions were seen between the two polymer systems.
