Biopolymer electrolytes are currently attracting a great deal of attention as substitute for synthetic polymers in electrochemical devices, as they are cost effective and eco-friendly. In this research, the biopolymer potato starch/chitosan blend polymer electrolyte film doped with LiCF3SO3 was prepared by solution casting method. Sample with 35wt. % LiCF3SO3 showed the highest ionic conductivity at room temperature. The dielectric studies reveal the non-Debye nature of the electrolyte. The Rice and Roth model was used quantitatively to explain the conductivity trends of the prepared electrolyte systems. The complexation of salt with the polymer host was studied using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

The development of biopolymer electrolytes based on methylcellulose (MC) has been accomplished by incorporating ammonium bromide (NB) to the polymer-salt system. The biopolymer electrolytes were prepared via solution-casting method. The conductivity and permittivity characteristics of the material were studied. The biopolymer-salt complex formation have been analysed through Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The conductivity of the sample was measured by EIS HIOKI. Upon addition of 20 wt.% of NB, highest conductivity of 3.25×10-4 μScm-1 was achieved at ambient temperature. The temperature dependence of the biopolymer electrolytes exhibit Arrhenius behaviour. This result had been further proven in FTIR study.

Background: Solid biopolymer electrolytes are a type of material with high technological potential used in the development of solar cells, batteries, fuel cells, among others, due to their biodegradable nature and low environmental impact. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the botanical origin of the starch used to prepare solid biopolymeric electrolyte films on its electrochemical and thermal properties and to establish the variations in thermal decomposition temperatures and redox potentials depending on the botanical origin of the starch used. Methods: Films of solid biopolymer electrolyte were made by thermochemical synthesis processes using corn starch, cassava starch, potato starch, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, and glutaraldehyde as plasticizers and lithium perchlorate salt. The synthesis solutions were taken to an oven at 70 °C for 48 hours. The films were characterized electrochemically by cyclic voltammetry using a dry electrochemical cell and thermally by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the electrochemical behavior of the films was similar in terms of registered redox processes. However, the potential values of the oxidation and reduction were different, as are the stability and intensity of the processes. On the other hand, the thermal analysis allowed establishing two decomposition processes in each of the films studied; the first process was due to dehydration and depolymerization phenomena in the films. The temperatures recorded were 59.0 °C, 58.9 °C, and 89.9 °C for potato starch, cassava starch, and corn starch films. The second process evidenced the thermal decomposition at different temperatures, 267.7 °C in potato starch films, 280.6 °C in corn starch films, and 287.1 °C in cassava starch films. Conclusions: It could be concluded that the botanical origin of the starch used in the synthesis of solid biopolymer electrolyte films affects its behavior and electrochemical and thermal stability.

In this work, solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBE) containing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) doped with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) were prepared via solution casting method. The ionic conductivity and dielectric properties of CMC-NH4SCN system were investigated by electrical impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range of 303-353 K. The dc conductivity shows that the highest ionic conductivity of 6.48 x 10-5 Scm-1 at ambient temperature was obtained when 25 wt.% of NH4SCN was incorporated. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity revealed that CMC-NH4SCN system was discovered to obey Arrhenius law where the regression value is almost unity (R2≈1). Activation energy of CMC-NH4SCN system was found to decrease with the increment of NH4SCN concentration. The dielectric behaviour of the CMC-NH4SCN system have been analyzed using dielectric permittivity (ε*) and electrical modulus (M*) spectra. Results from dielectric studies showed a non-Debye behaviour of CMC-NH4SCN system.

Solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBE) comprising carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with NH4Br-EC were prepared by solution casting method. The samples were characterized by impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and sample containing 25wt. % of NH4Br exhibited the highest room temperature conductivity of 1.12 x 10-4S/cm for salted CMC based SBE system. The ionic conductivity increased to 3.31 x 10-3S/cm when 8 wt. % of ethylene carbonate (EC) was added to the highest conductivity. The conductivity-temperature of plasticized SBE system obeys the Arrhenius relation where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature. The influence of EC addition on unplasticized CMC based SBE was found to be dependent on the number and the mobility of the ions. This results revealed that the influence of plasticizer (EC) which was confirmed play the significant role in enhancement of ionic conductivity for SBE system.

The present work highlights on the structural and conduction properties of the solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBPE) based carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) doped dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) and plasticized with ethylene carbonate (EC). The SBPE exhibits high ionic conductivity at room temperature where the highest value reaching 1.0 x 10-3 S cm-1 for sample containing with 10 wt. % of EC and increases the ionic conductivity when temperature was increased. Complexation within the SBPE has been confirmed by the FTIR analysis where the intermolecular interaction has improvised the coordination between CMC-DTAB and EC resulting in better structural and conductivity ability. The findings suggest that the great potential of CMC and make it promising to serve as an electrolyte for electrochemical devices.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP), Poly (methyl methacrylate)-grafted natural rubber (MG49) (70/30) complexed with different compositions of lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate (LiCF3SO3) based solid polymer electrolyte has been prepared using solution casting method. This work has demonstrated that conductivity values were found to depend upon the concentration of LiCF3SO3. The highest ionic conductivity was 1.97×10ˉ4 S cm-1at 25 wt. % of LiCF3SO3 at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates decrease in the degree of crystallinity by increasing of salt concentration.


This is a novel approach to get polyblend films with improved properties such as ionic conductivity and dielectric strength. Different ratios of PEG (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%) are added with optimized PVA: PVP ratio. PVA: PVP: PEG based BPEs are prepared by using solution casting method. The polymer PEG act as a plasticizer and chemically stable in air.The prepared electrolytes are characterized by XRD, FTIR and ionic conductivity studies. The XRD analysis shows amorphous nature of the polyblend electrolytes. Dielectric analysis is carried out for the BPEs. The higher conductivity is obtained for 20% PEG added polyblend electrolytes and it is 9.0x10-9 S/Cm. Thus, PVA: PVP: PEG (40:40:20) system is confirmed as optimized one for further studies to enhance the ionic conductivity
