Abstract Jae Seok Kim, Jong Kuk Lim* † Department of Chemistry, Chosun University, Gwangju 61452, Korea *E-mail: (Jong Kuk Lim) There has been a long-standing need for the development of solid electrolytes as an alternative to overcome the hazards of liquid electrolytes. Among the solid electrolytes, especially polymer electrolytes have been received more attention because they are not brittle and are flexible. Until now, most polymers used as host polymer for solid electrolytes are polyethylene oxide-based polymers. Such polymers are usually derived from petroleum and are not biodegradable, which has a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, researchers have attempted to develop polymer electrolytes using biodegradable and eco-friendly polymers such as chitosan polymer. However, such a natural polymer-based electrolyte has a disadvantage in that the ionic conductivity is low. Therefore, researchers have tried to increase the ionic conductivity by adding various additives (plasticizer and filler). It has been reported that the ionic conductivity increases when the metal or ceramic nanoparticles are used as a filler or glycerol as a plasticizer, however, there is still a lack of understanding of how the ionic conductivity increases. In this study, we will use chitosan as host polymer for solid electrolytes, and investigate how ion conductivity changes when using various types of metal nanoparticles as fillers.
