Abstract
Growth of solid polymer electrolytes is driven by their tremendous technological applications. Therefore, solid-state polymer electrolyte have been prepared by solution – casting method by using poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), KClO<sub>4</sub> salt and Nano filler Al<span id="cke_bm_84S" style="display: none"> </span><sub>2</sub><span id="cke_bm_84E" style="display: none"> </span>O<sub>3</sub>.

From these studies it is concluded that nano filler added polymer electrolytes sensor have more sensitivity when compared to the polymer electrolytes without nano filler.
