Biodegradable solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is prepared by solution-casting technique using low-cost cellulose derivative, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) as a host polymer. Owing to the hydrophobic nature of this polymer, it is predicted to exhibit low ionic conductivity upon addition of mag...
