This study searches the ion transport behavior and structural investigation of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and gum arabic (GA) with diverse amount of acetic acid for a possible application in electrochemical devices. The SPE system was prepared by the casting method and studied by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The best ionic conductivities of 2.22 x 10(-5) and 17.70 x 10(-5) S.cm(-1) at 25 and 80 degrees C, respectively, were measured for PVA/GA with 42 wt% of acetic acid. FTIR analysis confirmed PVA, GA, and acetic acid -OH, -C=O, and -COO- characteristic peaks. The ionic conductivity of PVA/GA SPE was affected by its ionic transport properties and amorphousness, which was revealed by deconvolution of XRD diffractograms. Additionally, AFM images proved predominantly homogeneous surface of the samples.
