description |
This study investigates the performance of biopolymer electrolytes based on chitosan and dextran for energy storage applications. The optimization of ion transport and performance of electric double-layer capacitors EDCL using these electrolytes, incorporating different concentrations of glycerol as a plasticizer and TiO2 as nanoparticles, is explored. Impedance measurements indicate a notable reduction in charge transfer resistance with the addition of TiO2. DC conductivity estimates from AC spectra plateau regions reach up to 5.6 x 10(-4) S/cm. The electric bulk resistance R-b obtained from the Nyquist plots exhibits a substantial decrease with increasing plasticizer concentration, further enhanced by the addition of the nanoparticles. Specifically, R-b decreases from similar to 20 k Omega to 287 Omega when glycerol concentration increases from 10 % to 40 % and further drops to 30 Omega with the introduction of TiO2. Specific capacitance obtained from cyclic voltammetry shows a notable increase as the scan rate decreases, indicating improved efficiency and stability of ion transport. The TiO2-enriched EDCL achieves 12.3 F/g specific capacitance at 20 mV/s scan rate, with high ion conductivity and extended electrochemical stability. These results suggest the great potential of plasticizer and TiO2 with biopolymers in improving the performance of energy storage systems. |
