Abstract

Polyvinyl chloride supported silver molybdate composite material is used to develop by solution casting method. This membrane was characterized by various instrumental techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. These characterizations are used to understand the functional groups,thermal stability, surface morphology, porosity, ion transportation etc. The electrochemical study of membrane showed that the ionic potentials decrease by increasing the concentration of electrolyte solutions while the surface charge density of membrane followed the reverse order. It indicated that the membrane is showing negative charge property. Electrochemical parameters of membrane like surface charge density, transport number, mobility ratio, charge effectiveness etc are determined by TMS and Nernst theoretical equations.
