Crossref, doi:10.4028/www.scientific.net/msf.846.539.0255-54762334-4110.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.846.539https://www.scientific.net/MSF.846.539https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/5173This article presents the discovery on biopolymer electrolytes comprising of ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3 with dual-blend biopolymer materials, carboxymethyl cellulose/chitosan which were prepared via solution-casting technique. The biopolymer blend based electrolyte films were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy to investigate the formation of the dual-blend biopolymer based complexes. X-Ray Diffraction result showed that all dual-blend samples were predominantly amorphous. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to obtain their ionic conductivities. The highest conductivity at ambient temperature of 1.03 � 10�5 S cm�1 was obtained for the electrolyte film containing 40 wt% of NH4NO3. These results indicated that the dual-blend biopolymer based electrolyte has potential for application of electrochemical devices.enBiopolymer Electrolytes, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Chitosan, Dual-BlendArticle539544846
