The solution casting technique has been employed to prepare hexanoyl chitosan-LiClO4 and hexanoyl chitosan-LiClO4-TiO2 electrolyte films. The highest room temperature conductivity of 1.9 × 10-5 S cm-1 is achieved at 30 wt% LiClO4. This conductivity value is further increased to 3 × 10-4 S cm-1 when 6 wt% of TiO2 was added. The variation in conductivity as a function of LiClO4 and TiO2 concentration has been understood on the basis of number of ionic charge carriers. In order to elucidate the conductivity mechanism brought about by the TiO2, diffusivity of ionic charge carriers were calculated. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
