Abstract: Biopolymer based Solid polymer blend electrolytes had been prepared utilizing Cornstarch (CS) and Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) by the technique of solution casting. The readied electrolytes were described by XRD, FTIR and Impedance investigation. The structural properties of CS and PVP blend Polymer Electrolytes (PEs) are dissected by XRD. The interaction among PVP and CS is considered by FTIR investigation. The electrical conductivity is calculated utilizing impedance analyser. The blend of 80wt% CS and 20wt% PVP is having the high conductivity (4.90217 x 10-9 S cm-1 ) and low activation energy (0.16 eV). The temperature dependent conductivity obeys the Arrhenius behaviour.
Keywords: Cornstarch, PVP, XRD, FTIR and Conductivity Studies.
