Abstract
Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is one of the new invention components which can replace the traditional liquid electrolyte in a conventional battery system that sometimes experience some drawbacks, specifically is a leakage problem. Solid polymer electrolyte was successfully prepared using corn starch as the host and sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) as an ionic dopant which both of them mixed in a combined solvent of distilled water and glycerin via a solution casting technique. FTIR was confirming that the complex films were successfully prepared based on the coexistence of the material peaks (starch and Na3PO4). The highest ionic conductivity of 4.62 x 10−4 Scm−1 was obtained at room temperature (303K) for the sample containing 40 wt. % of Na3PO4. Based on the results, this SPE is proposed to have great potential in current and future energy storage applications.
