In this research, solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) based on carboxy methylcellulose (CMC) has been prepared by doping different concentration of salicylic acid (SA) via solution casting technique. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to study the interaction between the host and ionic dopant. New peaks were observed at 1700, 2890, 2920 cm-1.The highest ionic conductivity achieved at room temperature is 9.50 × 108 S cm1 for CMC incorporated with 7 wt. % SA. In addition, the temperature dependence of the SBEs exhibit Arrhenius behavior.
