Abstract

In this study, guar gum and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) polymer electrolytes are prepared using solution casting method. The films are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and UV–visible spectroscopy. XRD analysis indicates that the films have amorphous structure, and FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify the functional groups and interactions between the polymers and magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) salt. The FTIR spectra show clear absorption bands indicating successful integration and interaction within the blend. EIS measurements reveal that the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte film is reached upto 3.3 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm at a concentration of 0.4 g MgCl₂ in the blend. This significant ionic conductivity suggests that Guar gum:PVA blend has promising potential as a polymer electrolyte in electrochemical applications. UV–visible spectroscopy reveals the band gap of 2.58 eV, refractive index, and Urbach energy value of 0.32 eV for the prepared electrolyte. These results suggest that Guar gum:PVA:MgCl₂ polymer electrolytes offer promising prospects as efficient material for advancing sustainable energy solutions.

期刊介绍： Ionics is publishing original results in the fields of science and technology of ionic motion. This includes theoretical, experimental and practical work on electrolytes, electrode, ionic/electronic interfaces, ionic transport aspects of corrosion, galvanic cells, e.g. for thermodynamic and kinetic studies, batteries, fuel cells, sensors and electrochromics. Fast solid ionic conductors are presently providing new opportunities in view of several advantages, in addition to conventional liquid electrolytes.
