【 摘 要 】

The intention of this research is to study effect of the different weight percent (wt%) of calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2 (CN) salt into biopolymer of Methylcellulose (MC). MC-CN solid biopolymer electrolyte was prepared by using casting technique. The concentrations of CN salt were prepared between 5 to 25 wt%. The optical and electrical characteristics of the samples were study by using Fourier Transform-Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The highest conductivity of the samples was containing 25 wt% of CN is 2.21X10-7 Scm-1. The optical study by using FTIR shows that the CN salt act as the conducting ions devoid of effect the molecular structure of the polymer. Additionally, the data of XRD revealed that MC-CN an amorphous phase.
