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.

This paper present the development of plasticized solid bio-electrolytes (PSBs) which has been accomplished by incorporating various composition of plasticizer namely ethylene carbonate (EC) with carboxy methylcellulose doped NH4Br via solution casting method. The plasticized polymer–salt ionic conduction of PSBs has been analyzed by electrical impedance spectroscopy. Plasticization using EC in PSBs system assists the enhancement of NH4Br dissociation and therefore increases the protonation process in the system. The highest ionic conductivity obtained for CMC−NH4Br containing with 25 wt. % NH4Br was achieved at 1.12 x 10-4 Scm-1 and improved to 3.31 x 10-3 Scm-1 when EC was added in PSBs system. The ionic conductivity-temperature for PSBs system was found to obey the Arrhenius relationships where the ionic conductivity increases with temperature. The solid-state proton batteries were assembled with the formation of Zn + ZnSO4.7H2O || highest conducting PSBs system || MnO2 and achieve with a maximum open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.48 V at room temperature and showed good in rechargeablity performance with more than 10 cycles.

Since the lithium-ion conductor Li[Formula: see text]GeP2S[Formula: see text] (LGPS) with a super high room-temperature conductivity of 12[Formula: see text]mS/cm was first reported in 2011, sulfide-type solid electrolytes have been paid much attention. It was suggested by Kwon et al. [J. Mater. Chem. A 3, 438 (2015)] that some excess lithium ions in LGPS, namely, Li[Formula: see text]Ge[Formula: see text] P[Formula: see text]S[Formula: see text], could further improve their ionic conductivities, and the highest conductivity of 14.2[Formula: see text]mS/cm was obtained at [Formula: see text] though a larger lattice parameter that occurred at [Formula: see text]. In this study, we focus on these two different chemical compositions of LGPS with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. Both samples were prepared using the same experimental process. Their lattice parameter, microstructure and room-temperature ionic conductivity were compared in detail. The results show that the main phase is the tetragonal LGPS phase but with a nearly identical amount of orthorhombic LGPS phase coexisting in both samples. Bigger lattice parameters, larger grain sizes and higher ionic conductivities are simultaneously achieved in Li[Formula: see text]Ge[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text]S[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]), exhibiting an ultrahigh room-temperature ionic conductivity of 18.8[Formula: see text]mS/cm.

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.

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(vinyl) chloride (PVC)-NH4I-EC films have been prepared by solution cast technique. The sample containing 30 wt. % NH4I exhibited highest room temperature conductivity of 4.60 × 10-7S cm-1. The conductivity increased to 1.08 × 10-6Scm-1when 15 wt. % of ethylene carbonate (EC) was added to 70 wt. % PVC - 30 wt. % NH4I. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) showed evidence of polymer–salt complexation while DSC showed increase in glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVC -NH4I - EC polymer electrolytes. The conductivity behavior of the studied system could be accounted by the changes in Tgvalues.

The conducting polymer electrolyte films composed of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the host polymer, LiCF3SO3 and NaCF3SO3 as inorganic salts and ethylene carbonate (EC) as plasticizer were prepared by the solution cast technique. The conductivities of the films were characterized by impedance spectroscopy. On addition of more than 14 wt% of salt, the NaCF3SO3-containing PAN films exhibited higher ionic conductivity than the LiCF3SO3-containing PAN films. The values of the dielectric constant, εr and dielectric loss, εi increase as frequency decreases at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the conductivity obeys Arrhenius relation in the temperature range of 303 K to 353 K.

Lauroyl-chitosan/poly(methylmethacrylate)-lithium trifluorosulfonate (LiCF3SO3) polymer electrolytes has been prepared by the solution casting method. Ionic conductivity analysis was conducted over a wide range of frequency between 50 Hz-1 MHz using impedance spectroscopy to evaluate the dielectric properties and conductivity of the sample. Sample with 30 wt% of LiCF3SO3 showed the highest conductivity of 7.59 ± 3.64 x 10-4 Scm-1 at room temperature. Complex permittivity for real (εr), imaginary (εi) and electrical modulus for real (Mr) and imaginary (Mi) part was determined and plotted. The relaxation time, τ for these samples was determined and the plot shows that τ decreases with conductivity of the complexes.
