Abstract
This study investigates the structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of composites having the chemical formula /Graphene nanoplatelets (GNP =1.25 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3.75 wt%, and 5 wt%) synthesized via a sol-gel auto-combustion method by following the bath sonication. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the spinel matrix, showing lattice expansion at lower GNP concentrations and contraction at 5 wt%GNP. The crystallite size was 35.9 nm for 5 wt%GNP. Magnetic analysis revealed improved saturation magnetization (MS = 9.14 emu/g) and coercivity (Hc = 128.01 Oe) for 5 wt%GNP. Dielectric studies show reduced dielectric loss and improved quality factors, making the composites suitable for high-frequency applications. The optimized 5 wt%GNP composite exhibits a balance between structural stability, magnetic response, and dielectric performance, demonstrating its potential for electromagnetic and energy storage applications.
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium for the rapid publication of original research papers, short communications and subject reviews dealing with research on and applications of electronic polymers and electronic molecular materials including novel carbon architectures. These functional materials have the properties of metals, semiconductors or magnets and are distinguishable from elemental and alloy/binary metals, semiconductors and magnets.
