In the present work, an attempt has been made to prepare a new natural biopolymer blend electrolyte of carboxymethyl cellulose/chitosan impregnated with NH4NO3 by the solution casting technique. The conductivity for the system was measured by impedance spectroscopy. The incorporation of 40wt.% NH4NO3 optimized the ambient temperature conductivity of the electrolyte up to 1.03x10(-5) S cm(-1). All electrolytes were found to follow the Arrhenius relationship. Dielectric studies confirmed that the electrolytes obey non-Debye behavior. The temperature dependence of the power law exponent s for the highest conducting film can be represented by the correlated barrier hopping model.
