Exploration of polaron dynamics in Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.): Microstructure and semiconducting nature of novel organic system

Abstract

Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.), commonly known as Jarul or Banaba has been reported first time to explore their microstructure and electrical conductivity spectra when placed at various illuminated light waves of 0–200 W. A distinct phase shift is observed during this process. Stable structure has been achieved from Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermogravimetric curves, when it is illuminated with 100 W light wave. Nature of capacitance of such organic semiconductor may be suitable candidate for low cost energy storage materials. Here, polaron hopping is observed due to the presence of MoS₂ in bulk as well as nanophase forms.
