The assessment process and computational chemistry calculations done using ab initio methods. The analysis showed chitosan energy is -1384.7601 eH and chitosan energy after bringing proton (H +) decreased respectively by -1385.2275 eH, -1385.8487 eH, -1386.3393 eH, -1386.9652 eH, -1387.4508 eH. The result obtained proved of chitosan becomes stable so that it can be used as a proton conductor. %U http://jurnal.kimia.fmipa.unmul.ac.id/index.php/JKM/article/view/462 %J JURNAL KIMIA MULAWARMAN %0 Journal Article %P 16-23%V 17 %N 1 %@ 2476-9258 %8 2019-11-29
