Studies on the plasticization efficiency of deep eutectic solvent in suppressing the crystallinity of corn starch based polymer electrolytes

Solid gellan gum polymer electrolyte for energy application

“…6(b) is a 10Â POM image of the Phytagel and KI doped biopolymer film shows uniform dispersion of salt (KI) enhances amorphous matrix and large size pores are clearly viewed in POM micrograph which is already observed in Fig. 6(c) which is a 60Â POM image of the Phytagel and KI doped biopolymer film shows the brown portion of amorphous region and white grain boundaries of a crystalline nature which also observed in our XRD data [25]. This amorphous region helps the ions to transport in biopolymer-salt complex, which could be easily understood by using phytagel biopolymer: KI polymer electrolyte in which cation (K þ ) and anion (I À ) charges play a dominant role The weakly bound K þ of KI can easily be dissociated under the influence of an electric field; these sufficient K þ ions can hop together with I À consistently at the coordinating side of the biopolymer structure.…”

Ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for lignocellulosic biomass fractionation

“…The conductivities of these DES-LITFSI-starch films were in the order of 10 -5 -10 -3 . 213 However, not many details were given on other material properties. A more elaborated discussion on ILs and starch plasticisation, dissolution and modification can be found in an earlier review.…”

Application of deep eutectic solvents in the extraction and separation of target compounds from various samples

“…applied DESs as electrolytes to the electrochemical synthesis of conducting polymers in , and Ramesh et al. prepared some polymer electrolytes composed of corn starch, lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and DESs . The increase DES content in the polymer electrolytes could gradually improve the ionic conductivity and chemical integrity.…”
