摘要

Gellan gum (GG) is a linear, negatively charged exopolysaccharide with a backbone composed of four repeating carbohydrate units. This biopolymer exhibits several beneficial properties, including biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and a three-fold coaxial double-helix structure. A series of GG-based biopolymer electrolytes incorporating sodium methyl sulfate (SMS) and glycerol (Gly), referred to as GG-SMS-Gly, were synthesized using the solution casting method. The prepared samples were characterized through Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Vibrational spectroscopy results confirm interactions between the functional groups of GG such as O–H, C = O, and C–O–C, and the added salt and glycerol via hydrogen bonding. XRD analysis indicates a decrease in the degree of crystallinity with increasing salt/glycerol concentration, reaching a minimum for GG-SMS-Gly-50, which exhibited an ionic conductivity of approximately 3.94 × 10⁻4 S/cm at 30 °C. TGA analysis reveals that the samples primarily decompose in two stages, with the addition of glycerol lowering the onset decomposition temperature. The residual weight loss at 700 °C ranges from 17 to 29% across all samples. For the optimized sample (GG-SMS-Gly-50), the ionic transference number and electrochemical stability window are measured.
