In this study, electrolyte materials were synthesized by mixing a highly conducting salt (K2CO3) with the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in different proportions (from 10 to 50Â wt.). The synthesized electrolyte was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanni...
