Biography: DR. AHMAD SALIHIN SAMSUDIN (A.S. SAMSUDIN) is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Industrial Sciences & Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) since 2015. He obtained his bachelor’s degree (B.App.Sc. Electronics and Instrumentational Physics) in 2010 and in 2014 he obtained his degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the young age of 26. The key strategy in his research activities is to bridge the gap between green/natural materials and energy. His main current research interest is deal with the development and application of novel solid-state bio-polymer as conductive materials for application in energy storage system (battery) and electrochemical devices. Currently, his areas of lecturing and research are focusing on the solid state ionics, bio-polymeric materials, processing of materials, and rheology. The outcomes of his research has been presented and published in many article journals on materials study, analytical physics engineering and technology at various international and national refereed journals, symposiums and conferences. He has been awarded for his research contribution with International Invention of the Year - British Invention Show 2012, World Inventor Award Korean Invention News (KINEWS) - Material Invention Order of Merit (Division 7) and World Inventor Award Korean Invention News (KINEWS) - Industry Invention Order of Merit (Division 36).
Speech Title: A novel approaches an enhancement of ammonium salts-based cellulose derivative proton conductive polymer electrolytes for protonic battery applications
Abstract: Since the introduction of solid polymer electrolytes in 1973, numerous polymers are particularly interesting especially bio-polymer have been investigate. The main interest in developing polymer electrolyte lies in the hope that such systems will avoid many of the problems encountered when using electrochemical devices with liquid constituents which costly along with expensive materials processing. In arrears to the fact given, the development of plasticized polymer electrolytes (PPEs) has been accomplished in this work by incorporating various composition of plasticizer with CMC-NH4Br via solution casting method. The PPEs system formation has been analyzed through FTIR spectroscopy, X-RD, impedance and TNM method. The highest conducting CMC PPEs was achieved at ~10-4 Scm-1 with addition of 25 wt. % NH4Br and was improved to ~10-3 S cm-1 when plasticized with 8 wt. % EC. It has been shown that the conducting element in this work are predominantly due to proton (H+) which was confirmed via FTIR and TNM analysis. Proton conducting PPEs battery have been fabricated with the configuration of Zn+ZnSO4.7H2O//MnO2 and produced a maximum open circuit potential (OCP) of 1.48 V at ambient temperature and showed good rechargeability. This work implies that the possible practical application of the present electrolytes as a new candidates in the fabrication of electrochemical devices.
