Characterization of Nanochitosan Incorporated Solid Polymer Composite Electrolytes for Magnesium Batteries

Abstract:

Chitin and chitosan, the most abundant biopolymers possess several excellent advantages such as biodegradability, ecological friendly, biocompatibility, low toxicity, bioactive, antimicrobial activity and low immunogenicity. They occur as ordered crystalline micro fibrils and are useful in applications that require reinforcement and strength. Nanochitosan was prepared from chitosan by oxidation degradation method using H2O2. Nanocomposites polymer electrolyte system composed of polyethylene oxide (PEO) as the host polymer, magnesium perchlorate Mg(ClO4)2 as salt and different concentration of nano-sized chitosan as filler have been studied. The effects of addition of nanochitosan on the ionic conductivity of composite polymer electrolytes are investigated and it is found to rise upon one order (10-3 Scm-1). The complexation behavior of PEO and Mg(ClO4)2 are verified through FT-IR studies. The nanocomposite films possess uniform surface morphology which has been identified by SEM analysis.
