Abstract
Chitosan/PEO-LiTFSI films have been prepared by the solution cast technique. The highest conductivity at room temperature was 1.4 × 10−6 Scm−1 and the activation energy was 0.47 eV for chitosan/PEO blends containing 30 wt.% LiTFSI salts. The conductivity of the samples is dependent on the number of mobile ions.
