Taking into account energy demand a new highly conducting ionic liquid (IL) c (EmImTCM) mixed corn starch (CS) biopolymer electrolyte is synthesized for dual electrochemical application electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) and the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) application. Electrical, structural, thermal, and optical studies are carried out in detail and presented in this communication. Maximum conducting IL-incorporated biopolymer electrolyte film has been sandwiched between electrodes to develop EDLC and DSSC. The sandwich-structured EDLC delivers a high specific capacitance of 250 F/gram while DSSC shows 1.44 % efficiency at one sun condition. © 2024 The Author(s)
