Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Leaves Extract of Mariposa Christia vespertilionis and its Potential as Anode Materials in Sodium-Ion Batteries (SIBs)

Aloe vera assisted green synthesis of Ag and Cu co-doped ZnO nanoparticles and a comprehensive analysis of their structural, morphological, optical, electrical and antibacterial properties

“…Via Scherrer's formula (Eq. 4), the crystallite size (D) was determined [ 24 ]. Here, λ is the wavelength of the incident X-ray, β is the diffraction peak's full-width half maximum (FWHM) in radians, and 2θ is Bragg's angle in radians.…”

“…From the equation of the wurtzite hexagonal structure (Eq. (6) ), the lattice parameters were calculated [ 24 ]. …”

“…Miller indices of the corresponding plane are h, k, l. Zn–O bond length, L was determined from Eq. (7) [ 24 ]. …”

“…These nanoparticles are also utilized as electrode materials in supercapacitors and as anode materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries [ 21 , 22 ]. Additionally, their potential is currently being explored to increase efficiency and sustainability in Zinc-Ion Batteries, Sodium-Ion batteries, and to develop lightweight and flexible energy storage solutions [ [23] , [24] , [25] ]. ZnO NPs are widely applied in optoelectronic devices, including Photovoltaic devices, Light Emitting Diodes, Biomedical Imaging, Optical Waveguides, and Laser devices [ [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] ].…”

Molten salt synthesis of disordered spinel CoFe2O4 with improved electrochemical performance for sodium-ion batteries

“…Furthermore, all samples show H3 hysteresis loop which show the characteristic of slit shape features. 62,63 The open loop at the isotherm may be caused by slow adsorption at narrow pores which exhibited from slit shape features. 63 The specic surface areas of M700, M800, and M900 were found to be 2.6017, 3.6244, and 7.7535 m 2 g −1 , respectively.…”
