Chitosan-PEO proton conducting polymer electrolyte membrane doped with NH4NO3

The polymer electrolyte membrane in this work was prepared using the solution casting technique. The polymer host is a blend of chitosan and polyethylene oxide. The solution of the blend was added with ammonium nitrate (NH 4NO 3) to supply the charge carriers for ionic conduction. From X-ray diffrac...
