X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to identify and characterize the synthesised substances. The ternary metal sulfide had a mean crystallite size of 37.8 nm on the nanoscale. SEM revealed spherical particles with rounded edges particles. XPS presented Al 2p, Co 2p, Ni 2p and S 2p core level peaks of the elements. The ternary metal sulfide had a band gap energy of 3.49 eV. The phenomenal storage technology potential of the thin film was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry that revealed an astounding supercapacitance of 515 F g−1, demonstrating the material’s effectiveness. Voltammetric findings show the cycling stability of the nanoparticle thin film. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation of contaminants such as methylene blue dye, pesticide zoxamide, and phenol was probed, with such a spectacular degradation rate constant of 4.11 × 10−2 min−1 with 91.5% degradation achieved for pesticide.Keywords: Supercapacitorenergy storagephotocatalystthin filmmetal sulfide AcknowledgementsAuthors express their gratitude to the Department of Environmental Sciences, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Pakistan for providing the technical and financial facilities needed for completion of this work.

However, the intricate interplay between electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials presents a challenge to improving their efficiency. Traditional experimental methods and calculation methods have troublesome steps and long cycles for predicting new thermoelectric materials. In this work we present materials informatics-based approach, where statistical and machine learning models like correlation matrix, multiple linear regression, principal component analysis and artificial neural network were employed to find the relationship between features and thermoelectric performance. Furthermore, artificial neural network was used to analyze the roles of several compositional and microstructural features along with temperature on electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) for PANI and quasi 0D carbon-based composites.Keywords: Nanocompositespolyanilinecarbon nanostructuresmaterials informaticsthermoelectric performancemachine learningdata analytics AcknowledgmentsMR acknowledges the support of “University of Alberta-Tecnologico de Monterrey Seed Fund, 2022-2023” and SNI fellowship awarded by CONACyT (Grant ID 1047863).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe data can be requested and accessed from the authors.","PeriodicalId":7291,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composite Materials","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135592591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of tensioning and compaction forces during 3D printing were experimentally studied to suppress fiber waviness. A tensioning force was generated along the filament to straighten the fibers by asynchronously controlling the filament feeding and print speeds. A compaction force was applied through the nozzle tip by setting the layer height to reduce the voids. Microscopic images of specimen cross-sections and surfaces indicated a reduction in fiber waviness and voids after these treatments, and three-point bending tests demonstrated improved mechanical properties. This combination of tensioning and compaction forces achieved 28% and 45% higher bending stiffness and strength, respectively. Tensioning and compaction forces are important printing parameters for the 3D printing of high-performance c-CFRTP.Keywords: Polymer-matrix compositesmechanical propertiesmechanical testing3D printing Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, N.
