Films of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes were prepared using solution casting technique. The interactions between hexanoyl chitosan-lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC)-lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR results showed that there is a possible complexation between the electron donor of hexanoyl chitosan and DMC with lithium salt due to the shifting in the wavenumber and changes in the intensity of the infrared bands. The obtained spectroscopic data has been correlated with the conductivity performance of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte. The ionic conductivity was increased with addition of filler TiO2 and plasticizer DMC to the electrolyte system.
