Impedance and ionic transport properties of proton-conducting electrolytes based on polyethylene oxide/methylcellulose blend polymers

Proton-conducting polymer electrolyte films were prepared by dissolving NH4I salt in polyethylene oxide/methylcellulose (PEO/MC) blend polymers using the solution cast technique. The semi-crystalline nature of the sample was identified from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The surface morphology on the electrical conductivity was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
