Pectin-based membranes with different salts such as LiClO4, KCl, LiClO4-Ir(III) and KCl-Ir(III) contents were prepared and characterized. The most conductive sample of Pectin@KCl exhibits the ionic conductivity of 1.45 x 10(-3) S.cm(-1) and 6.31 x 10(-3) S.cm(-1) at 25 degrees C and 90 degrees C, respectively. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals the predominantly amorphous nature of the samples and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) images show a roughness of 21.8 and 10.5nm for the samples of Pectin@KCl and Pectin@LiClO4, respectively. The overall redox stability of 7.0V suggests that this material has an acceptable stability window for an application in solid state electrochemical devices.
