Electrochemical devices are essential due to their huge contribution in energy storage, especially for the industrial sector. Nowadays, the usage of synthetic polymer keep increasing but these polymers are costly and not environmental friendly. Therefore, the solid biopolymer electrolytes (SBEs) system have been chosen as one of the new types of electrolytes that use natural polymer as a host polymer. This research was undertaken to investigate the conductivity and ionic transport of SBEs to develop a new type of biopolymer electrolyte. In the present research, SBEs system was developed based on alginate as the host polymer doped with various weight percentages of ammonium nitrate as a proton donor and prepared using the solution casting method. Several techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray and diffraction (XRD), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), transference number measurement (TNM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were performed to characterize this present work. FTIR analysis confirmed that interaction has occurred between the carboxylate group (COO-) from alginate and H+ where there were changes in the peaks at wavenumbers 1415 cm-1 and 1598 cm-1 that corresponded to C=O and C-O- in alginate, 1062 cm-1 that corresponded to C–O–C, and 3393 cm-1 that corresponded to the OH-group. The mobility (µ) and diffusion coefficient (D) were found to influence the ionic conductivity in the SBE system as observed via IR-deconvolution technique. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) revealed that the 25 wt.% NH4NO3 was the most amorphous sample, and the polymer matrix resulted in the change of state of the material from semi-crystalline to amorphous in nature. From TGA analysis, the thermal stability increased with the addition of NH4NO3. The ionic conductivity of the SBEs system was measured using EIS with a frequency range from 50 Hz to 1 MHz and achieved the maximum ionic conductivity at ambient temperature (303 K) with 5.56 × 10-5 S cm-1 for the sample containing 25 wt.% of NH4NO3. The SBEs system was found to obey the Arrhenius behavior with R2~1 where all samples were thermally activated with increasing temperature with the highest conducting sample showing the lowest value of activation energy Ea (0.11 eV). The conduction mechanism model suggested a correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model for the alginate-NH4NO3 SBEs system. The alginate-NH4NO3 SBEs system sample with the highest conductivity had a transference number, tion of 0.97, which further indicated that the conduction species is a cation. In the future, this SBE system is aimed to be used for energy storage, including as a battery or supercapacitor. 2019-07 Thesis http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/30049/ http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/30049/1/A%20study%20on%20ionic%20conductivity%20of%20alginates%20doped%20with%20ammonium%20nitrate%20as%20application.wm.pdf pdf en public masters Universiti Malaysia Pahang Faculty of Industrial Sciences and Technology Samsudin, Ahmad Salihin
