New solid polymer blend electrolyte films based on biodegradable polymer blend comprising of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) doped with different wt% of lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ) salt have been prepared by solution casting method. The resulting PVA/PVP/Li 2 CO 3 polymer blend electrolyte films have been characterized by various analytical techniques such as FTIR, UV-vis, XRD, TGA, polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed the complex formation between PVA/ PVP blend and Li 2 CO 3 salt. The ionic conductivity and the dielectric properties of PVA/PVP/Li 2 CO 3 polymer blend electrolyte films were investigated using an impedance spectroscopy. It was observed that the ionic conductivity of PVA/PVP/Li 2 CO 3 electrolyte system increases as a function of Li 2 CO 3 concentration. The highest ionic conductivity was found to be 1.15 9 10 -5 S cm -1 for polymer blend electrolyte with 20 wt% Li 2 CO 3 content. On the other hand, the dielectric results revealed the non-Debye type of behaviour. The dielectric constant values indicate a strong dielectric dispersion in the studied frequency range which increases as the Li 2 CO 3 content increases. The dielectric constant as high as 1200 (e = 1201.57, 50 Hz, 150°C) and the dielectric loss well below 4 (tan d = 3.94, 50 Hz, 150°C) were obtained for polymer blend electrolytes with 25 wt% Li 2 CO 3 salt. Thus, the results obtained in the present study suggest that the PVA/PVP/ Li 2 CO 3 polymer blend electrolyte system seems to be a promising candidate for solid state battery applications.
