Ionic conducting solid biopolymer electrolytes based on carboxymetyl cellulose doped ammonium fluoride

Abstract

The development and characterizations of a new-type solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBE) based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) doped with varied content of ammonium fluoride (NH4F) is presented in this thesis. The SBEs were prepared via solution casting technique. The SBEs were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Electrical Impedance (EI) and Transference Number Measurement (TNM) techniques. The iinteractions between CMC and NH4F occurred at 1581, 1406, 1313 and 1047 cm-1 as proven in FTIR.
