JMS_V1_N4_RP4 Xanthan Gum Based Gel Electrolyte Containing NaOH Narinder Arora Viney Sharma Rajesh Kumar Journal on Material Science 2347–615X 1 4 20 23 Natural gum, Gel Electrolyte, Ionic Conductivity, pH Ionic conductivity of xanthan gum based gel electrolytes containing NaOH has been studied and the maximum ionic conductivity (σ = 88.8 mS/cm) at room temperature has been recorded. The behavior of ionic conductivity with the rise in temperature has been observed. A small change in ionic conductivity of xanthan gum based gel electrolytes containing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has been observed with the passage of time. pH value of gel electrolyte containing NaOH shows their basic in nature.
