Solid polymer electrolytes based on starch and magnesium sulphate were prepared via a casting method. The solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films were an amorphous phase and the XRD analyses confirmed the coexistence of peaks for the materials mentioned. The films seemed to be coarse, as clarified by SEM, and the surface was evenly shaped. Sample of 35 wt.% MgSO 4 showed the utmost ionic conductivity (8.52×10 -5 Scm -1 ). The open circuit voltage (OCV) results for the fabricated cells can maintain a voltage of above 1.4 V for 14 days, by using the as-prepared films. The electrochemical preliminary results revealed that the as-prepared SPE has the ability to be employed in all-solid-state zinccarbon battery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
