RESUMO

Polyaniline-Zn/V2O5 nanocomposites were prepared in the presence of toluene-4-sulfonic acid monohydrate as an anionic surfactant via an in situ oxidation polymerization method. The structural study of the nanocomposites was carried out using FTIR and XRD analysis, and their surface morphology was characterized through SEM analysis. The BET surface area of a 3 wt% nanocomposite was 386 m2 g-1, which is higher compared to that of PANI. The Kelvin two probe method was used to study DC conductivity, and it was found that the conductivity increases with increasing temperature. Among all the PANI nanocomposites, 3 wt% PANI-Zn/V2O5 shows a high conductivity of 13.8 S cm-1. Cyclic voltammetry results show the characteristic oxidation-reduction peaks at 0.93 V and 0.24 V for polyaniline and its nanocomposites, respectively. Hydrogen absorption studies were carried out using volumetric sorption measurement technique. At room temperature, it was found that the hydrogen adsorption capacity of polyaniline fibres is about 4.5 wt%, and its absorption capacity increases two-fold upon increasing the temperature up to 60 °C. Conversely, the 3 wt% PANI-Zn/V2O5 nanocomposite showed a high absorption capacity of 6.6 wt% compared with other compositions, which is may be due to the presence of nitrogen (N) molecules in polyaniline and its particular porous fiber architecture.

RESUMO

Porous TiO2-doped polyaniline and polyaniline nanocomposite fibers prepared by the in situ polymerization technique using anionic surfactant in an ice bath were studied. The prepared nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and XRD patterns for structural analysis. The surface morphology of the polyaniline and its nanocomposites was examined using SEM images. DC conductivity shows the three levels of conductivity inherent in a semiconductor. Among the nanocomposites, the maximum DC conductivity is 5.6 S/cm for 3 wt.% polyaniline-TiO2 nanocomposite. Cyclic voltammetry shows the properties of PANI due to the redox peaks of 0.93 V and 0.24 V. Both peaks are due to the redox transition of PANI from the semiconductor to the conductive state. The hydrogen absorption capacity is approximately 4.5 wt.%, but at 60 °C the capacity doubles to approximately 7.3 wt.%. Conversely, 3 wt.% PANI-TiO2 nanocomposites have a high absorption capacity of 10.4 wt.% compared to other nanocomposites. An overall desorption capacity of 10.4 wt.% reduced to 96% was found for 3 wt.% TiO2-doped PANI nanocomposites.

RESUMO

Polyaniline fibers were prepared in the presence of anionic surfactant in an ice medium to nucleate in one dimension and were compared to bulk polyaniline prepared at an optimum temperature. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate the structural analysis of the prepared samples. A conductivity study reveals that polyaniline fibers have high conductivity compared to bulk polyaniline. Hydrogen storage measurements confirm that the polyaniline fibers adsorbed approximately 86% of the total actual capacity of 8-8.5 wt% in less than 9 min, and desorption occurs at a lower temperature, releasing approximately 1.5 wt% of the hydrogen gases when the pressure is reduced further to 1 bar.

RESUMO

This paper aimed to investigate the temperature effect on photovoltaic (PV) cell parameters. The PV cell parameters such as series and parallel resistances, diode ideality factor, and diode saturation current, are not considered in the reported stepwise modeling. The present work aims to improve available models used in the modeling and simulation of PV modules to support the researcher and power project developer. All the required temperature-dependent parameters are determined to model the simulated PV module with high accuracy using Simulink/MATLAB software. To validate the method, a 36-cell-50W solar panel with different radii of curvature is set up to assess solar power outputs under varying irradiance and temperature conditions. For the present application, the Tabuk region (Saudi Arabia) is chosen based on its location and climatic conditions. The method provided conformity to the measured power outputs for varying Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) and temperature conditions. The maximum power output of the PV module increases from 14.4 W to 25.8 W when the received solar power density varies from 307 W/m2 to 526 W/m2 depending on the level of curvature starting from a semi-cylindrical shape to a vaulted shape to a flat shape. The curved PV module shows slightly higher power variation with temperature as compared to the flat one. Above 25°C, the power output is about 20% less at a maximum temperature of 65°C. When the temperature drops below 25°C, the power outputs increase about 6% and 11.5% for corresponding temperatures of 15°C and 5°C, respectively.

RESUMO

In this work, solid flexible polymer blend electrolytes (PBE) composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with different amounts of sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) salt mixed in double-distilled water (solvent) are prepared via solution casting method. The obtained films are characterized using several techniques. The study of the surface morphology of the polymer blend salt complex films via the POM technique reveals the presence of amorphous regions due to the NaSCN effect. FTIR spectra studies confirm the complex formation between PVA, PVP, and NaSCN. The addition of 20 wt% NaSCN salt in the composition PVA: PVP (50:50 wt%) polymer blend matrix leads to an increase in the number of charge carriers and thus improves the ionic conductivity. The ionic conductivity of each polymer blend electrolyte was studied using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. The highest room temperature ionic conductivity of 8.1 × 10-5 S/cm S cm-1 is obtained for the composition of PVA: PVP (50:50 wt%) with 20 wt% NaSCN. LSV test shows the optimized ion-conducting polymer blend electrolyte is electrochemically stable up to 1.5 V. TNM analysis reveals that 99% of ions contribute for the conductivity against 1% of electrons only in the highly conductive polymer electrolyte PVA: PVP (50:50 wt%) + 20 wt% NaSCN. A supercapacitor device was fabricated using the optimized ion-conducting polymer blend film and graphene oxide (GO) coated electrodes. The GCD curve clearly reveals the behavior of an ideal capacitor with less Faradic process and low ESR value. The columbic efficiency of the GO-based system is found to be 100%, the GO-based electrode exhibits a specific capacitance of 12.15 F/g and the system delivers the charge for a long duration. The specific capacitance of the solid-state supercapacitor cell was found to be 13.28 F/g via the CV approach close to 14.25 F/g obtained with EIS data at low frequency.
