Abstract:
Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) has a significant advantage over other type of
polymer electrolyte. In order to enhance the conductivity of SPE, chitosan acetate
doped adipic acid films were prepared by the solution cast technique. The
characterizations of the samples were done by using Electrochemical Impedance
Spectroscopy (EIS) over a wide range of frequency and temperature between 298 K
and 353 K and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The highest ionic
conductivity obtained for samples with 35 wt. % was 1.4 x 10-at room
temperature. FTIR showed that complexation has occurred. FTIR exhibited shifts in
amine and carbonyl bands at 1560 cm-9
