This research centers on the creation and analysis of flexible dielectric capacitors composed of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs), incorporating a blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as the base polymer, with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) serving as nanofillers. The AuNPs were produced through an environmentally friendly synthesis method. Films made from PVA/PVP blended with MWCNTs and AuNPs were fabricated using the casting approach. Various characterization methods, including TEM, XRD, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy, were utilized to evaluate the samples. A detailed analysis of their electrical/dielectric characteristics was conducted. XRD analysis revealed a significant decrease in crystallinity from 55% for the pure PVA/PVP blend to 37% for the 1.6 wt% nanofiller composite, indicating increased amorphous content, which facilitates better ion mobility. FTIR confirmed strong interactions between the polymer matrix and nanofillers, with intensified vibrational peaks pointing to enhanced molecular dynamics. UV–Vis spectroscopy demonstrated a red shift in the absorption edge, and Tauc plot analysis showed a reduction in the indirect/direct optical band gap from 4.84 eV/5.68 eV for the pure blend to 4.26/5.35 eV for the nanocomposite with 1.6 wt% nanofillers. The addition of nanofillers resulted in improvements in their dielectric features, which exhibited a significant performance improvement, with the dielectric constant (<em>ε</em>′) reaching approximately 1100 at low frequency for the 1.6 wt% nanofiller sample, compared to 9 for the pure blend. Additionally, the dielectric loss (<em>ε</em>'') and tangent loss (tan δ) were reduced, with tan δ showing a decrease from 15 for the pure blend to 2 for the 1.6 wt% nanofiller composite at low frequency, indicating enhanced dielectric efficiency and reduced energy dissipation. The capacitors' functionality was assessed through capacitance-frequency and conductance-frequency analyses. The capacitors exhibited stable high capacitance across a broad frequency spectrum, making them alternatives for energy storage solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17219,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices","volume":"9 4","pages":"Article 100802"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142442334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, Triton X-100 was added to 1.0 M H₂SO₄ at various concentrations (0.122%–1.210% V/V) to evaluate its impact on supercapacitor performance. Supercapacitors were assembled using activated carbon-filled carbon cloth electrodes, each of the above electrolytes and polyethylene sheet separators. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the carbon cloth exhibited a uniform fiber distribution and high surface area for activated carbon integration. The polyethylene separator displayed a porous structure with an average pore size of 165 ± 35 nm. Triton X-100 significantly reduced the water contact angle from 101.5° (without surfactant) to 30.2° (with 1.21% V/V Triton X-100), enhancing polyethylene’s wettability. This change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic characteristics enabled the formation of an electrical double layer at the separator/electrolyte interface, improving ionic transport.

Among these nanomaterials, iron-based ones are highly interested in their morphological and magnetic properties for potential utilizations in biomedicine. However, iron-based nanoparticles lose their chemical stability in body fluids because of their oxide formations and transformations. Their use in biomedical applications, especially in imaging, may be less effective if they are oxidized and have lower magnetization values. Thus, the idea of coating them with a protective layer has recently emerged to prevent magnetic nanoparticles from degrading in human fluids and losing their magnetic properties. However, the biological effects of these coated nanoparticles on human cells are poorly understood. In this paper, the synthesis of multilayer graphene (MLG) encapsulated iron-based nanoparticles was investigated by solvothermal and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods followed by purification. Subsequently, their surface modification was conducted with pyrene end-functional POEGMA obtained by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Cytotoxicities of synthesized nanoparticles were evaluated in MCF7 cell lines, which is a commonly used model for breast cancer research. We also compare the results with those obtained from bare iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and iron oxides that were embedded in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) or partially coated with it. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficiency of these nanoparticles and increase their chemical stability as a multifunctional nano platform for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
