Erbium (Er3+) substituted nanocrystalline, cobalt-rich ferrites, which can be represented chemically as Co1.1Fe1.9-xErxO4 (CFEO; x = 0.0-0.2), were synthesized by the sol-gel autocombustion method. The structural, dielectric, and electrical transport properties of CFEO were investigated in detail. CFEO materials crystallize in a spinel cubic structure for x <= 0.10; formation of orthoferrite (ErFeO3) secondary phase was noted for x >= 0.15. Microstructural and compositional studies revealed the formation of spherical, elongated grains with stoichiometric presence of Co, Fe, Er, and O. The dielectric constant (epsilon') dispersion fits to the Debye's function for all CFEO ceramics. The relaxation time and spread factor obtained from epsilon' dispersion are similar to 1.0(-3)s and similar to 0.50 (+/- 0.10), respectively. The complex impedance analyses confirm a grain-interior mechanism contributing to the dielectric properties. Semiconducting behavior and small polaron conduction mechanism were evident in electrical transport properties of CFEO materials.

Summary: By substituting Cd into Zn lattice sites, a structural transformation from the kesterite phase to the stannite phase in CZTS nanocrystals was induced, resulting in a reduced bandgap of 1.1 eV and an improved power conversion efficiency of 1.1% for the Cd-substituted solar cell. These results emphasize the significance of substitutional doping strategies in enhancing device characteristics of CZTS-based materials.

Perspectives of conducting polymer nanostructures for high-performance electrochemical capacitors

Manopriya Samtham, Diwakar Singh, K. Hareesh, Rupesh S. Devan

Summary: The production of energy using renewable energy sources and its storage is receiving attention due to the depletion of fossil fuels and growing energy demands. Electrochemical capacitors with high specific capacitance, power density, cyclic stability, and fast charging-discharging rates have become important for energy storage. Many researchers have focused on developing one-dimensional nanostructure electrode materials to enhance the energy storage ability of electrochemical capacitors, with conducting polymer nanostructures being highly desirable. However, their low specific capacitance and poor cyclic stability can be overcome by developing conducting polymer-based composites.
