Abstract: In the present study, Pectin based Lithium sulfate added biopolymer electrolytes have been prepared by using Solution casting technique. Surface morphology of the prepared sample is investigated by Scanning Electron microscopy and crystalline nature is investigated by X-ray Diffraction. These films have a smooth surface and amorphous nature with good transparency. The Pectin is biopolymer which is ecofriendly and great abundance in earth. The maximum ionic conductivity value is obtained for 85Pectin:15Li2SO4 system. The change in ionic conductivity related to concentration of salt is also analyzed. The dielectric properties of the Pectin based system are also discussed.
Keywords: Pectin, FTIR, SEM, Ionic Conductivity, Dielectric Constant.
