Morphological and Electrical Studies Of Plasticized Biopolymer Electrolytes Based On Potato Starch : NH4Cl

Abstract

: Plasticized biopolymer electrolytes based on the "Potato Starch have been prepared using distilled water as solvent by Solution Casting Technique. 40 PS: 60 NH 4 Cl: 20PC bio polymer electrolyte has the maximum ionic conductivity 9.27x10 -4 S/cm at 303 K. Modulus spectroscopy studies are important to bring out the electrode-electrolyte interfacial behavior and its bulk properties. The SEM images evidenced the presence of numerous pores in the 40 PS: 60 NH 4 Cl: 20PC biopolymer electrolyte resulting in high ionic mobility that leads to high ionic conductivity at ambient temperature.
