The present investigation examines how calcination temperatures affect the structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of NdFeO3 orthoferrites. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that there is no discernible difference in the observed structures with calcination temperatures other than the bond distances and bond angles. The surface morphology and field-emission scanning electron microscopy indicate that porosity of the samples is regulated by the physical shape of the tiny particles within them. Porosity is minimized as calcination temperature increases, showing a higher density that contributes to reducing leakage current features while improving the break-down strength. These variations are attributed to bond length and bond angle variation of the Fe-O. The photocatalytic activity of the NdFeO3 nonoparticles was assessed by photodegrading a number of organic dyes, including methyl orange (MO), rhodamine B (RhB), and methylene blue (MB). The product displays significant photocatalytic degradation of the dyes whenever exposed to visible light. Overall, this investigation aims to establish a relationship between the physical properties and microstructural parameters to provide valuable insights into the magnetic interactions present in the samples and the comprehensive behavior of NdFeO3 orthoferrites samples calcination at different calcination temperatures.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, three kinds of composite electrolytes, PMMA/SiO2, PMMA/TiO2, and PMMA/SiO2/TiO2, were prepared and assembled with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as polymer matrix and doped with inorganic particles of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2), to study the effect of doping two kinds of inorganic electrolyte particles on the performance of electrochromic devices. The optical contrast and cycling stability of the electrochromic devices assembled with PMMA/SiO2/TiO2 composite electrolytes were significantly improved compared with devices composed of the other three electrolytes. Cyclic voltammetry analysis showed that the lithium ion diffusion coefficient of the electrochromic device with PMMA/SiO2/TiO2 composite electrolyte composite electrolyte was the largest at 2.5×10-14 cm2/s. Enhancement of the electrochromic performance is mainly due to the fact that the work function difference between SiO2 and TiO2 in the figure of merit will lead to the directional movement of charge, accelerating the Li+ transport rate and further optimizing the electrochemical performance of the composite electrolyte. This study provides an effective method to improve the performance of electrochromic devices.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141801505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements, and cyclic voltammetry were used to evaluate the electrochemical experiments. At a scan speed of 5 mVs-1, the BFO@NiCoS@CNT nanocomposite exhibited a specific capacitance of 2890 Fg-1, surpassing pure BFO@NiCoS. Furthermore, the nanocomposite displayed excellent cyclic stability, retaining around 87.8% of its capacity retention even after 5000 cycles. Another notable property is its energy density (Ed) of 71 Whkg-1 at the power density (Pd) of 2400 Wkg-1.

For this purpose, we used pp- epitaxial wafers with a buried highly B-doped epitaxial layer which were annealed with and without thermal pre-treatments at 950°C. From the results we conclude that in the initial phase of oxide precipitation without thermal pre-treatment β is very high before it drops to low values. With a thermal pre-treatment at 800°C for 2 h, the initial value of β is somewhat lower before the drop also occurs. If a nucleation anneal is carried out before the thermal treatment at 950°C the β values are low from the beginning. All of these results confirm our previously published theoretical predictions experimentally. This work also shows that the crystal pulling process can affect the initial β value because grown-in oxide precipitate nuclei can reduce their strain by vacancy absorption. Therefore, high vacancy supersaturation during crystal cooling while oxide precipitate nucleate would lead to somewhat lower initial β values.","PeriodicalId":504734,"journal":{"name":"ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141806668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
