| Summary: | This study shows preparation and characterization of solid biopolymer electrolyte based
on glycerolized methylcellulose (MC): dextran-doped with ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN). The
nature of electrolyte composition in terms of interaction is characterized using Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) technique. Lowering and shifting in the intensity of the bands are observed with
increasing the quantity of glycerol as a plasticizer, confirming complexation between electrolyte components. Ion transport parameters are determined using both of the methods of EIS and FTIR
where the parameters are found to be increased with glycerol concentration. The transport number
measurement indicates that ions are the primary charge carrier in the conduction mechanism where
tion is found to be 0.961. The maximum DC ionic conductivity value is achieved that found to be
1.63 � 10�3 S cm�1. The ESR values are ranged from 300 to 580 O throughout 450 cycles. The technique
of linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) shows the electrochemical stability window of 2 V for the
conducting samples. The response of cyclic voltammetry (CV) shows an almost rectangular shape
without Faradaic peaks. A galvanostatic charge–discharge investigation has shown the initial specific
capacitance, energy density, and power density are 133 F g�1, 18.3 Wh Kg�1, and 680 W Kg�1,
respectively. |
