Abstract
The production of highly potential Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) materials has been the subject of extensive research. Due to their high flexibility, superior processability and enhanced resistance to electrodes during the charging/discharging process, they found to exhibit wide applications when compared to liquid or gel. In the present study, SPE films with 30/70 composition of Polyethylene oxide/Carboxymethyl cellulose blend, doped with Sodium Iodide (NaI) were prepared using a simple solution cast technique. The optical properties of the prepared samples were studied by UV–Vis spectroscopy technique and the results show that, the energy band gap decreases with the increase of salt concentration which is due to the enhancement of amorphous nature with the concentration of salt and is as evidenced from X-Ray diffraction studies. The electrical properties of the samples were studied using impedance analyser. The dielectric constant of the prepared samples decreases exponentially with frequency of applied electric field. In addition, the AC conductivity of the blend was found to increase with increase in salt concentration and the maximum conductivity was observed for 0.03% NaI salt doped Polyethylene oxide/Carboxymethyl cellulose blend. Thus, the said samples can be used in the preparation of SPE’s
