Over a year, the electrochemical power was obtained by using liquid electrolyte due to its high ionic conductivity. Yet, this liquid electrolyte gives a lot of problems such as leakage, reaction with electrode, and poor electrochemical stability, which makes it unsuitable for the use in electrochemical devices. When the first reported solid polymer electrolyte was made in 1973, the researcher realized that this polymer electrolyte can be used to replace the liquid electrolyte due to its excellent mechanical and thermal stability and high ionic conductivity [1] and [2]. Solid polymer electrolytes are the key material of all-solid-state energy devices and have been extensively studied in the fields of materials science [4], polymer science [5], and electrochemistry [6]. Within the realm of solid polymer electrolytes, proton conducting solid polymer electrolytes (PCSPEs) has become materials of growing interest because of their wide raging applications in electrochemical devices such as solid-state batteries.
Solid-state batteries are playing a vital role in the development of science and technology, from portable electronics on one extreme to electric vehicles to backup power sources in aircraft. With solid state batteries, problems in conventional liquid electrolyte battery systems such as spillage, difficulty in handling liquids during manufacturing, corrosiveness of liquid electrolyte with container and sealants [1], low power to weight ratio and limited shelf life [2] can be overcome. Particularly Li+ ion batteries based PCPSEs have recently involved huge attention for vehicular application due to ionic radii of Li+ ion are small and hence it could be intercalated into the layers of the layered materials. However, this type o...

Therefore, the present work aims at developing of protonic-conducting biopolymer electrolyte (BPE) by using natural biopolymer materials which is carboxymethyl cellulose as the host polymer while NH4Br has been chosen as the ionic dopant since ammonium salts are considered as good proton donor to the polymer matrix [10] and [11]. The prepared BPE have been characterized by Fourier transform infra red (FTIR), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and transference number measurement (TNM). In order to determine the potential of the highest protonic conducting BPE as an electrolyte system in battery, it was used in the fabrication of Zn + ZnSO4•7H2O/BPE/MnO2 protonic battery.
Biological waxes are esters of long-chain (C14 to C36) saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with long-chain (C16 to C30) alcohols. Their melting points (60 to 100 _C) are generally higher than those of triacylglycerols.In plankton, the free-floating microorganism sat the bottom of the food chain for marine animals, and waxes are the chief storage form of metabolic fuel. Waxes also serve a diversity of other functions related to their water-repellent properties and their firm consistency. Certain skin glands of vertebrates secrete waxes to protect hair and skin and keep it pliable, lubricated, and waterproof. Birds, particularly waterfowl, secrete waxes from their preen glands to keep their feathers water-repellent. The shiny leaves of holly, rhododendrons, poison ivy, and many tropical plants are coated with a thick layer of waxes, which prevents excessive evaporation of water and protects against parasites. Biological waxes find a variety of applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other industries. Lanolin (from lamb’s wool), beeswax carnauba wax (from a Brazilian palm tree), and wax extracted from spermaceti oil (from whales ;)

Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquids composed entirely of ions. Molten salt is the term normally reserved for those systems that are liquid at high temperatures, for example NaCl (table salt is a liquid at ≈ 800 0C). Room-temperature ILs are liquid below 100˚C, have received considerable attention as substitutes for volatile organic solvents. Due to their remarkable properties, such as negligible vapour pressure, large liquidous range, high thermal stability, good ionic conductivity, high electrochemical stability, they are considered favourable medium candidates for chemical syntheses. ILs are usually categorized into four types based on their cation segment: 1) alkylammonium-, 2) dialkylimidazolium-, 3) phosphonium- and 4) N-alkylpyridiniumbased ILs (Figure 1). Ionic liquids are generally composed of a bulky organic cation, such 1-butyl-3 methylimidazolium and typically an inorganic anion such as a halide. Below are the chemical structures of some common cations and anions used to make ILs.

The first term that I noted during the movie was Conductive Polymers. Conductive polymers are almost always organic meaning a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. These polymers have extended delocalized bonds which are bonds found in a molecule that do not belong to a single atom or covalent bond. They are conjugated systems of double bonds and in a aromatic systems. The conjugated systems are atoms covalently bonded with alternating single and double bonds. When the electrons are removed or added into the valence bands the electrical conductivity increases. The conductive polymer has a low conductivity until the electron is removed from the valence band called (p-doping) or (n-doping) until it becomes more conductive. The movement of the charges is what is responsible for electrical conductivity. These polymers are plastic which are organic polymers and with mechanical properties such as flexibility and elasticity.
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells operate at relatively low temperatures, around 80°C (176°F). Low-temperature operation allows them to start fast (less warm-up time) and results in less wear on system components, which result in better durability. However, it requires that a noble-metal catalyst (typically platinum) be used to separate the hydrogen's electrons and protons, adding cost to the system. PEM fuel cells are used primarily for transportation applications and some stationary applications. Due to their fast startup time, low sensitivity to orientation, and favorable power-to-weight ratio, PEM fuel cells are particularly suitable for use in passenger vehicles, such as cars and buses. A significant barrier to using these fuel cells in vehicles is hydrogen storage. Most fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) powered by pure hydrogen must store the hydrogen on-board as a compressed gas in tanks. Due to the low-energy density of hydrogen, it is difficult to store enough hydrogen on-board to allow vehicles to travel the same distance as gasoline-powered vehicles before refueling. This increases costs and maintenance. They deliver high-power density and offer the advantages of low weight and volume, compared with other fuel cells. 3.3 PEMFC structure

It has a chemical formula of (C2H4)n(C4H6O2)m. Depending upon the weight percent of vinyl acetate, we get different polymers such as vinyl acetate modified polymer (4% VA), thermoplastic ethylene vinyl acetate (4 - 40% VA) and ethylene vinyl acetate rubber (>40% VA) with the remainder being ethylene. Properties such as toughness,
Like cosmetics, these are subjected for their safety according to their existing rules of the different countries. Generally it is not mandatory for a manufacturer to claim that how bioactive ingredients penetrate the skin or that these ingredients cause drug-like or therapeutic effect [2]. There are a rising number of consumers concerned about ingredients such as synthetic chemicals, mineral oils who demand more natural products with traceable and more natural ingredients, free from harmful chemicals and with an emphasis on the properties of botanicals [3].
This is the most common battery that people use today like Energizer or Duracle batteries. The most common form of a primary cell is the Leclanche cell, invented by a French chemist Georges Leclanche in the 1860s. The electrolyte for this battery consisted of a mixture of ammonium chloride and zinc chloride made into a paste. The negative electrode is zinc, and is the outside shell of the cell, and the positive electrode is a carbon rod that runs through the center of the cell. This rod is surrounded by a mixture of carbon and manganese dioxide. This battery produces about 1.5 volts.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most accepted battery for portable equipment such as laptops and cellphones. The density of these batteries is normally twice that of nickel-cadmium making them more desirable for portable devices. The chemistry of these batteries is better for the environment because it causes nearly no harm when disposed of.

Chemistry is used in our everyday life in more ways than we may think. One way that we use chemistry is in the batteries in our cell phones. They are solely responsible for the phone actually turing on and being powered to run. Most cell phones are powered with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in digital cameras and even in electric cars. These batteries are made of lithium cobalt cathode and carbon anode.
