Abstract:This paper seeks to address the AC electrical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanocomposites with different weight ratios (PVA/Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 = 100/0, 95/5, 85/15, and 50/50) in the temperature ranging from 323 to 403 K at the frequencies from 0.01 Hz to 20 MHz. The real part of the complex permittivity (ԑʹ) was enhanced with both the temperature and concentration of Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 nanocrystals, which originates from nano-capacitor structures experiencing interfacia… Show more
“…The storage of electrical energy in dielectric materials expresses the real part of the dielectric constant () and the imaginary part () expresses the dielectric loss; the complex dielectric constant () is determined as follows: 32–35 Figure 5(a) shows the relationship between the real dielectric constant () and the frequency at different percentages of cobalt oxide.…”

“…The energy storage process is invariably accompanied by a dissipation of current, resulting in the loss of energy that is not stored but instead converted into heat within the material. The phenomenon of dielectric loss is indicated by the imaginary component of the dielectric constant [47,48].…”
This study employed the sol gel auto-combustion approach to synthesize Mg0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles. Additionally, the casting method was used to fabricate Mg0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4/PMMA nanocomposite polymer films. The structural properties were analyzed by the utilization of x-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The UV-visible spectrophotometer examination was used to evaluate the optical properties of the produced nanocomposite films, such as absorbance, transmittance, indirect energy band gap, Urbach energy, excitation coefficient, and refractive index. Two indirect optical energy gaps are calculated, whereas they decreased from 4.56 eV to 4.33 eV, and from 4.04 eV to 3.01 eV, while the Urbach energy increased from 0.304 eV to 0.524 eV as the nanofillers increased from 0 to 4 wt%. An investigation was conducted to examine the impact of nanoparticle doping on the dielectric constant, electric modulus, and ac conductivity. The Mg0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4/PMMA nanocomposite films demonstrate higher permittivity and ac conductivity and a lower dissipation factor and electric modulus compared to pure PMMA. The dielectric permittivity (ε′) increased from 2.76 to 3.43 at a constant frequency 100 Hz up to 2 wt.% of Mg0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 then decreased to 2.41 while the dissipation factor tan(δ) decreased from 0.1 to 0.046 at the same frequency. The nanocomposite films are well-suited for utilization in CUT-OFF selective laser filters, solar cells, energy storage devices, and other applications in related industries.
Polymer blend films based on PVA-PVP filled with PbFe12O19 hexa-ferrites nanoparticles were created by solution casting technique. XRD, HRTEM, FESEM, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and Broad-band dielectric spectroscopy were used to examine the properties of the prepared polymer composite films. X-ray diffraction pattern of the powder confirmed the formation of PbFe12O19 with hexagonal phase and that for the films confirmed the incorporation of the PbFe12O19 nanoparticles in the PVA-PVP blends. HRTEM confirms the formation of hexagonal nanoparticles with average size ranged from 7 nm to 21 nm. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) studied the morphology of the nanocomposite films. There are noticeable variations in FT-IR spectra that confirm the incorporation of PbFe12O19, NPs in PVA-PVP blend. The absorbance was found to increase with red shift in the ultraviolet-visible region while the transmittance decreases with increasing PbFe12O19, nanoparticles. By incorporating, PbFe12O19 the direct optical gap and indirect optical gap gradually decreased from 5.20 eV to 4.44 eV and 4.97 eV to 4.34 eV, respectively while the Urbach energy increases from 0.274 eV to 0.678 eV. According to the Wemple-Didomenico single oscillator model, the optical dispersion parameters have been examined and are found to be strongly affected by PbFe12O19, loading. Additionally, the nanocomposite film containing 7.5% PbFe12O19, demonstrated outstanding optical shielding. The complex dielectric constant (ε*), complex electric modulus (M*) and electrical conductivity, of NCPs materials have been studied with the frequency changing from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz. The real permittivity (ε^') of PVA-PVP blend polymer film increased while the real electric modulus (M’) is found to decrease by the incorporation of PbFe12O19, nanoparticles up to 2.5 wt. % and the imaginary component of permittivity follows the same pattern of ε^'. The examined nanocomposite films show promise for flexible optoelectronics, photosensors, optical shielding and nano-dielectric materials.
