Synthesis and characterization of Chitosan-Avocado seed starch hydrogels as electrolytes for zinc-air batteries

The application of innovative batteries is considered aplausible option to overcome the need to store energy. Current investigations focus on improving electrolytes in solid or gel states. Biopolymers are an excellent choice for gel electrolytes. In addition, polymer blends offer a high amorphous system compared to a single polymer so it has been widely used to improve the properties of polymer electrolytes. Zinc-air batteries (ZAB) have the potential to be viable options for energy storage, offering advantages such as Good theoretical specific energy density of 1084W·h·kg−1, low cost, environmentally friendly, and a high level of safety. The choice of a good electrolyte system is critical to their Good performance. Biopolymer gel electrolytes provide advantages due to their high flexibility, high performance, cost- ffectiveness, and high solvent compatibility.
