Microporous Chitosan-Succinonitrile Membrane for Lithium Rechargeable Batteries

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, microporous chitosan-succinonitrile membranes were prepared by phase separation method. The membranes were characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. It was found that the addition of succinonitrile increased the pore size, which in turn increased the ionic conductivity of the chitosan-succinonitrile membrane.
