Abstract

Magnesium ion conducting eco-friendly biopolymer electrolyte based on gellan gum has been developed by solution casting technique and characterized by XRD, FTIR, DSC, AC impedance analysis and LSV. Amorphous nature of the polymer electrolyte has been confirmed by XRD analysis. FTIR analysis confirms the complex formation between gellan gum and magnesium nitrate salt. Glass transition temperature of the polymer electrolytes have been found in DSC analysis. Ionic conductivity of polymer electrolyte membrane has been analysized by AC impedance studies, polymer electrolyte 1.0 g gellan gum with 0.7 wt% Mg (NO3)2 has highest ionic conductivity 1.392 × 10−2 S/cm at room temperature. Evan’s polarization method attributes Mg+ cationic transference number as 0.342 for high conducting polymer electrolyte. The high conducting polymer membrane has electrochemical stability 3.58 V. Using this high conducting polymer electrolyte, magnesium ion battery is constructed and the battery performance was studied. The open circuit voltage is found as 1.99 V.
