Quasi-solid bioelectrolytes based on hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and sodium iodide (NaI) in three different polar aprotic solvent systems, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and dimethylacetamide (DMA), were fabricated and characterized. FTIR studies revealed active solvent-ion int...
