cellulose-based polymer electrolytes for electrochemical devices

In order to develop an alternate material for energy storage devices like batteries, this research is being done to create polymer electrolytes based on cellulose. thus, polymer electrolyte based on cellulose was synthesized by solution casting method to make a thin polymer film. the solid or gel state of the polymer electrolyte and the kind of cross-linker (citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol) on the electrochemical properties of electrolyte were investigated. ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes was investigated by impedance analysis. results showed that the crosslinking was improved ionic conductivity of solid and gel polymer electrolytes.
