Preparation of CuO_1-x-Mn_x (x= 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) and MATLAB modelling for sustainable energy harvesting applications

Abstract

A different Mnx(x= 0.03, 0.05, 0.07) doped on CuO1-x has been successfully synthesised by a co-precipitation method by maintaining a pH-12. The nature of Mn doped CuO nanoparticles has been characterized with the help of X- Ray Diffraction (XRD). The Mn in the lattice sites of CuO gives the monoclinic crystal structure with C2/c space group which has been confirmed through JCPDS card no: 05-0661. The morphology variations with Mnx doping have been examined with the help of field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Additionally, band properties have also been noticed via Ultraviolet-Visible (UV) Spectroscopy. The band gap of material has been calculated as 2.39 eV, 1.96 eV and 2.25 eV for energy harvesting modelling through MATLAB with temperature difference behaviour of material. The thermodynamic modelling has been used for energy harvesting application with the help of MATLAB and the Seebeck coefficient has been calculated for thermoelectric modelling of CuO-Mnx.

Generalized Programming Idea for Making the Thermoelectric Device Using MATLAB Software for Cu2Bi2Te3 and Cu2Sb2Te3

“…Its flexibility and versatility, along with its builtin tools and features for numerical analysis and simulation, make it a useful platform for academics and engineers working in the field of sustainable energy [2,5,[10][11][12]. For investigating the behavior of thermoelectric materials and devices, MATLAB is an effective tool because to its strengths in numerical methods, data processing, and visualization [6][7][8][9]. Optimization of the design and functionality of thermoelectric materials and devices is one potential application of MATLAB in sustainable energy modeling.…”
