Nuclear magnetic resonance and conductivity study of hydroxyethylcellulose based polymer gel electrolytes

Amylopectin-rich starch plasticized with glycerol for polymer electrolyte application

“…The second is observed at −29°C, and is assigned to the amylopectin glass transition temperature, specifically to α-transition, which is related to the ionic conductivity [13,22]. Also, as observed in hydroxyethyl cellulose-based electrolytes [23], the lithium mobility can be associated preferentially with the mobility of the plasticizer molecules and not simply determined by the segmental mobility of the polymer matrix. Amylopectin-based SPEs show a good agreement between experimental and theoretical data, indicating the ionic conductivity values as a function of temperature are well fitted with Arrhenius model and confirming the influence of plasticizer on ionic conductivity mechanism [16,24,25].…”

Synthesis and characterizations of phthaloyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes

“…The polymer electrolytes obtained from natural polymers such as chitosan, starch and cellulose derivatives have drawn attention on account of their mechanical, optical and electrical properties [5][6][7][8]. Among these natural polymers, chitosan has been under extensive research on account of its specific properties, such as biocompatibility and bioactivity and also because of its promising potential in biomedical, pharmaceutical and industrial applications [9][10][11][12][13].…”

Hydroxypropyl cellulose-based gel electrolyte for electrochromic devices

“…Among different polymer electrolytes those based on natural macromolecules such as chitosan [3], starch [4], pectin [5], agar [6], gelatin [7] and DNA [8] have been also reported. Cellulose and its derivatives [9,10] are very attractive natural polymers due to cellulose abundance in nature. Most of cellulose derivatives are soluble in water; however, some of them, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate are soluble in organic solvents [11].…”
