Polymer electrolytes using chitosan and ammonium triflate (NH 4 CF 3 SO 3 ) were prepared using the solution cast technique. FTIR confirms the complexation of chitosan and NH 4 CF 3 SO 3 with shifting of the amine peak at 1591 cm –1 to 1573 cm –1 . The highest conducting sample contains 50 wt% of NH 4 CF 3 SO 3 and at room temperature has a conductivity of 8.91 × 10 –7 S cm –1 . The model of Rice and Roth has been used to calculate the number density of mobile ions ( n ), mobility ( μ ) and diffusion constant ( D ). Conductivity was found to be dependent on the number of mobile ions. Analysis of electrical modulus and dissipation factor (tan δ ) shows that charge transport occurs through a hopping mechanism.
