However, the low ionic conductivity of these polymers has been a serious challenge and needs to be optimized to meet demands for practical applications. Herein, the response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were employed to predict and optimize the performance of pectin/methylcellulose (PC/MC) based SPE complexed with potassium phosphate (K3PO4) and glycerol. RSM analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the interactive behaviour of both K3PO4 and glycerol, particularly at higher potassium salt content has an enormous influence on ionic conductivity and potential window of the SPE. After numerical optimization, an optimum interaction (�3 � 10�4 Scm�1, 4.19 V) was achieved at 60 wt. and 41.37 wt. of K3PO4 and glycerol respectively. © 2022 publisher: Elsevier B.V. date: 2022 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Adam, A.A. and Soleimani, H. and Shukur, M.F.B.A. and Dennis, J.O. and Abdulkadir, B.A. and Hassan, Y.M. and Yusuf, J.Y. and Shamsuri, N.A.B.
