In this study the compatibility of chitosan (CS) with divalent inorganic salt is discussed. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) consist of CS as a host polymer and magnesium triflate (MgTf) as a dopant divalent salt have been prepared by solution cast technique. The room temperature DC ionic conductiv...
