Macromolecules Polymer electrolytes are class of materials characterised with high ion concentrations in application of renewable energy devices. Unfortunately, the world is facing a severe shortage of renewable, safe, and environmentally friendly energy resources. Therefore, in this study, a new class of bio-based chain extended polyurethane (modified PU) and cationic polyurethane (PCPU) were synthesized as a polymer host for polymer electrolyte system. The PU samples were synthesized using two different polyols monomer groups ratio of palm kernel oil polyol (PKO-p) to polyethylene glycol (PEG200) as chain extender, while 2-4 'diphenylethylene diisocyanate (MDI) is used as isocyanate group. 1-iodopropane is used as alkyl group to produce cationic PU (PCPU) and sodium triflate (NaTf) is used as a doping salt for preparation of polymer electrolyte. Characterization techniques of GPC, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, TGA, DSC, EIS, transference number (ionic and cationic) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) were used to study the properties of the prepared system. The addition of PEG200 into PU increased the molecular weight of modified PU from 14968 g/mol to 66969 g/mol and decreased to 2157 g/mol in PCPU. Formation of urethane linkages (-NCOOH-) of PU were evidenced by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis with the disappearance of NCO peak and emergence of secondary amine, carbonyl, and ether group. XRD studies showed that the sample PU3 exhibited the largest FWHM at 9.83 with degree of crystallinity of 68 % and for PCPU3, FWHM value is at 9.68 with degree of crystallinity of 68 %.

The addition of 25 wt. % NaTf in PU3 and PCPU3 polymeric system found that the peaks of the functional groups N-H, C=O, C-N and C-O-C were shifted due to the interaction of Na+ with oxygen atom at ether group.
