 Abstract:

The thin films of solid polymer electrolytes were based on corn starch doped with magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) with different ratios of polymer and salt added. They were prepared using a single-solvent technique. The glycerin was added to the mixture of the solution to offer more elasticity to the polymer film and by increasing the flexibility of the thin-film membrane. The conductivity and electric studies were carried out on these thin films to understand the ion transport properties of the polymer electrolytes. The highest conductivity obtained was 8.52 × 10−5 S cm−1, which for the 35 wt. % MgSO4 salt-doped polymer electrolyte system at room temperature. From the evaluation on the transport properties, the conductivity of the system was generally influenced by n, μ and D of charge carriers. MgSO4 helped to increase the ionic conductivity and further increase the salt content, while the diffusion coefficient and mobility of charge carriers were increased.
