Substantial Proton Ion Conduction in Methylcellulose/Pectin/Ammonium Chloride Based Solid Nanocomposite Polymer Electrolytes: Effect of ZnO Nanofiller

“…According to the literature, the FTIR spectrum of pristine MC exhibits characteristic bands in the vicinity of 3250 and 2810 cm −1 belonging to O-H stretching, and C-H asymmetric stretching, respectively. Other spectral bands reported are 1668, 1458 and 1058 cm −1 which correspond to COO − asymmetric stretching, C-H rocking and C-O-C stretching MC, respectively [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The tiny peaks around 946 cm −1 are the Infrared spectra characterization for MC [ 16 ].…”

“…For pristine PC film, the FTIR prominent bands are found within the proximity of 3334, 2910, 1652, 1422 and 1099 cm −1, which belong to O-H stretching, C-H stretching, COO − stretching, C-H bending, and C-O-C stretching of PC, respectively. Additional bands found at 1740, 1228, and 1010 cm −1 are typical of -COOCH 3 stretching , O-H bending and -CH-O-CH- stretching of PC, respectively [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

“…For measuring the thickness of all the SPEs prepared, a digital micrometer screw gauge was used. From our previous work [ 37 ], the ionic conductivity of pure MC/PC film was found to be 2.89 × 10 −9 Scm −1 . In this study, we realised a tremendous increase (order of 10 −4 ) in conductivity of MC/PC films upon doping with various amount of NH 4 Cl.…”

Innovative Methylcellulose-Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone-Based Solid Polymer Electrolytes Impregnated with Potassium Salt: Ion Conduction and Thermal Properties

“…By modifying their chemistry, several SPEs now achieve ionic conductivity equivalent to those of liquid electrolytes at room temperature. Additional advantages of SPEs over the liquid type include mechanical stability, excellent film formation with superior ionic conductivity, and self-standing ability [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

“…However, this magnitude is insufficient for practical use in SPEs’ technology. By modifying the chemistry of MC, it has shown promising ionic conductivity in the amorphous phase, allowing for better ion transport inside the polymer [ 6 , 19 ]. According to previous reports [ 20 , 21 ], blending polymers improves the electrochemical and physicochemical properties of the electrolyte system by expediting the ion migration process and providing additional complexation sites within the polymer matrix.…”
