  A Review of Modified Cellulose for Electrochemical Energy Storage with a Multiphysics Framework for Quaternized Bagasse Nanocellulose/Al₂O₃–PEO Composite Electrolytes in Solid-State Batteries

  By Dipak A. Nikam, Rupesh S. Shelke

  Abstract: A critical review of modified cellulose for electrochemical energy storage is integrated with a potassium-specific multiphysics framework using cellulose obtainable from India-relevant feedstocks, including sugarcane bagasse, cotton/cotton stalk, banana pseudostem, Hibiscus/kenaf-type biomass, and other agricultural residues. The framework addresses the coupled requirements of ambient-temperature ionic transport, K⁺ selectivity, and mechanical integrity in solid polymer electrolytes. A hierarchical QCNF@Al₂O₃/PEO₁₆–KTFSI₁ architecture is evaluated in which quaternized bagasse cellulose nanofibers provide percolated reinforcement …

  Effect of Nanofiller on FTIR, DSC and DC Conductivity Studies of PVP Based Polymer Films

  By M. Seshu Kumar, M.C. Rao

  Abstract: Nanocomposite polymer films (NCPs) are prepared by doping of potassium acetate (CH3COOK) in polymer of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) by dispersing aluminium oxide (Al2O3) by different weight percentile ratios using solution cast technique. The obtained NCPs’ films were characterized and reported. Complex analysis between NCs and host polymer was confirmed by FTIR. DSC analysis states the glass transition temperature, Tg=77oC at which the phase transformation changes from glassy to rubbery amorphous …

  Synthesis and Ion Transport Studies of a New Potassium Ion-Conducting Nanocomposite Polymer Electrolyte

  By Angesh Chandra, Rashmita Khakre, Alok Bhatt, Archana Chandra

  Abstract: The pursuit of safe, efficient, and sustainable energy storage solutions has intensified research on nanocomposite polymer electrolytes, especially for next-generation battery technologies. This work reports the synthesis and ion transport characteristics of potassium ion-conducting nanocomposite polymer electrolytes (NCPEs), emphasizing their structural, electrical, and electrochemical performance. To enhance ionic conductivity and mechanical strength, polymer matrices were reinforced with nanoscale ceramic fillers. A new potassium ion-conducting NCPEs: (1-x)[70PEO:30KCl] + x SiO₂ (where …

  Polymer Electrolyte Films Doped with Nanofillers ZnO: Electrochemical and Optical Investigations

  By Sonu Kumar, Sushma Kumari, Shashi Shankar Jha, Madhuri Singh, Rakesh Kumar raushan, Smita Bharati, Mansi Ranjan

  Abstract: The electrochemical and optical characteristics of polymer composite electrolyte films doped with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofillers are thoroughly examined in this work. Because of its superior film-forming capacity, flexibility, and ionic transport properties, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mixed with potassium iodide (KI) is used as the host polymer electrolyte. To investigate their effects on ionic conductivity, dielectric behavior, and optical transmission, ZnO nanoparticles are synthesized and added to the PVA–KI matrix …
