Electrical conductivity and structural studies on PVA/CHITOSAN LiCF₃SO₃ solid polymer electrolyte with amino acid as additive / Nor Aisah Ab Razak

In the present work, PVA and chitosan are used in the based polymer blend. Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate [LiCF₃SO₃] and amino acid, L-Ieucine have been employed as the doping salt and additive, respectively. The PVA/chtosan solid polymer electrolyte is prepared using solution cast technique. The...
