However, the inherent rigid structure of GO limits its use for modern flexible and disposable energy storage devices. This study presents the fabrication of Graphene oxide/tin sulfide-based flexible composites by employing natural fibers (as a binder) extracted from wasted bioresources (banana peels). GO and tin sulfide (SnS) nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile and fast microwave-assisted approach. Furthermore, SnS nanoparticles are deposited electrochemically on fabricated GO-based paper electrodes to enhance their electronic conductivity and energy storage characteristics. Highly flexible paper-based electrodes are characterized by different characterization techniques, i.e., scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and RAMAN spectroscopy to observe their morphology and chemical bonding. Electrochemical measurements, including Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), are performed to observe the kinetics and capacitive behavior of the electrodes. LC/GO/SnS 2400 s exhibit specific capacitance of 68.78 F/g at which is greater than GO/LC (30.97 F/g). Prepared tertiary composite (GO/LC/SnS) depicts excellent charge-discharge behavior. LC/GO/SnS 2400 s reveals power density of 84.6 W/kg at 4.57 Wh/kg and also show specific capacitance of 55.4 F/g. Superior electrochemical characteristics are indicated by the GO/LC/SnS (2400 s) electrode and lower Rs (0.89Ω) and Rct(1.7Ω) values as compared to the binary composite (GO/LC).

Additionally, we have investigated the optical characteristics that correspond to the real and imaginary portion of the dielectric function in the region of 0–12 eV, such as absorption coefficient, optical conductivity, refractive index, reflectivity and energy loss function. Moreover, Hf<sub>1-x</sub>Ca<sub>x</sub>O<sub>2</sub> has a wide range of absorption in the UV-visible region, which indicates that this material is suitable for opto-electronic and solar cell applications. The refractive index suggests that Hf<sub>1-x</sub>Ca<sub>x</sub>O<sub>2</sub> could be a potential candidate for applications to high-density optical data storage devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":625,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electroceramics","volume":"53 3","pages":"269 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process yielded pure-phase perovskite powders at the relatively low calcination temperature of 700 °C. Subsequent fabrication of BFT ceramics from these calcined powders revealed notable properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the cubic symmetry of the ceramics. All samples exhibited pronounced frequency-dependent dielectric behavior, with those sintered at 1,250 °C demonstrating particularly remarkable properties. Specifically, these ceramics achieved exceptionally high dielectric constants (ε<sub>r</sub> ~ 5.30 × 10<sup>5</sup> at 1 kHz and 230 °C). Impedance spectroscopic analysis revealed that the dielectric behavior of the ceramics can be attributed to the Maxwell–Wagner polarization mechanism, as the ceramics demonstrated heterogeneous conduction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":625,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electroceramics","volume":"53 3","pages":"305 - 311"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
