Abstract

Biopolymer electrolyte K-carrageenan with magnesium chloride (MgCl2) has been prepared by solution casting method. The amorphous nature of biopolymer is enhanced by the addition of MgCl2 salt, as revealed by XRD. FTIR spectra confirmed the complexation of K-carrageenan polymer with MgCl2. DSC technique is used to measure Tg of the membrane. The conductivity analysis shows that the1 g of K-carrageenan:0.6 M wt% of MgCl2 exhibits maximum ionic conductivity of 4.76 × 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature. Mg2+ ion’s movement is confirmed by transference number measurement. The electrochemical stability of the electrolyte has been studied by linear sweep voltammogram (LSV). A primary magnesium battery is fabricated, and its discharge characteristics are studied.
