Preparation and characterisation of n-phthaloylchitosan based polymer electrolyte for application in dyesensitized solar cell / Siti Nor Farhana Yusuf

In this work, N-Phthaloylchitosan (PhCh) was first synthesized via phthaloylation using chitosan. The structure of PhCh has been confirmed using FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. From FTIR spectroscopy, characteristic peaks of phthalimido and aromatic group from PhCh are observed at 1772, 1708, and 719...
