A lead-free flexible polymer/ceramic based nanocomposites thin film for electronic application Shahin Sayyad, S. A. Acharya, S. A. Pande, Tanveer Quazi, S. W. Anwane Ferroelectrics, 2023 The polymer composite Bismuth Titanate based lead-free binary system Nylon-11/0.75Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.25SrTiO3 (N11/BNTST) has been developed using the solution casting method in different ratio for advanced energy system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were used to confirm the structure. XRD pattern of all samples shows the N11 and rhombohedral phase of BNT-ST with the presence of both phases for the composite. The surface microstructure of a nanocomposites film with a 70:30 N11:BNT-ST composition reveals homogenous BNT-ST nanoparticle dispersion in Nylon-11 matrix with negligible holes. However, compositions with a larger percentage of BNT-ST show agglomeration with a large number of pores, which lowers the dielectric constant and increases dielectric loss. At room temperature, the electrical characteristics of the produced N11/BNT-ST composite are examined periodically. The dielectric behavior of the materials exhibit a decrease in dielectric constant as well as loss with increasing frequency. The experimental data of the N11/BNTST, comparing the pure N11 polymer film to composite, the dielectric characteristics have significantly improved. The maximum dielectric response has been observed for 70N11-30BNTST composition. So, N11/BNTST composite has been shown to be a viable option for applications requiring electronic capacitive energy storage.
Synthesis and photoluminescence study of strontium salts with 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline C. Ruchir Kumar, Y. M. Nimje, S. W. Anwane Journal of Physics Conference Series, 2020 The pure green and turquoise green-emitting organometallic complex of strontium(II) with 8-Hydroxyquinoline and 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline were synthesized by using Co-precipitation method. The structure of Sr(8-Hq)2 and Sr(2-Me-8Hq)2 was studied with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the vibrational peak of the Sr-O bond was found at 503 cm−1 and 499 cm−1 respectively. The X-Ray diffraction spectra are taken and compared with XRD data of raw materials to confirm the formation of the complex. Further UV-Absorption was studied, and the optical band gap is 2.813eV and 2.852eV, respectively, by using Taucs plot method. The photoluminescent study carried out in solution medium, and the emission wavelength found at 526nm and 509nm, and the color is confirmed using the CIE plot method, and the emission color is pure green and turquoise green. The complex may have significant applications as emitters in organic optoelectronic devices.
Enhanced photoluminescence properties of electrospun Dy3+-doped ZnO nanofibres for white lighting devices Chaitali Niranjan Pangul, Shyamkant Wasudeorao Anwane, Subhash Baburao Kondawar Luminescence, 2018 Dy3+ -doped ZnO nanofibres with diameters from 200 to 500 nm were made using an electrospinning technique. The as-fabricated amorphous nanofibres resulted in good crystalline continuous nanofibres through calcination. Dy3+ -doped ZnO nanofibres were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) light spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence (PL). XRD showed the well defined peaks of ZnO. UV-vis spectra showed a good absorption band at 360 nm. FTIR spectra showed a Zn-O stretching vibration confirming the presence of ZnO. Photoluminescence spectra of Dy3+ -doped ZnO nanofibres showed an emission peak in the visible region that was free from any ZnO defect emission. Emissions at 480 nm and 575 nm in the Dy3+ -doped ZnO nanofibres were the characteristic peaks of dopant Dy3+ and implied efficient energy transfer from host to dopant. Luminescence intensity was found to be increased with increasing doping concentration and reduction in nanofibre diameter. Colour coordinates were calculated from photometric characterizations, which resembled the properties for warm white lighting devices.

Electrical properties of barium titanate dispersed silver sulphate S. W. Anwane Advanced Materials Letters, 2013 Composite materials which are heterogeneous mixtures of two or more solid phases offer value added properties for device applications. When ion conducting Ag2SO4 is dispersed with insulating BaTiO3, enhanced electrical properties are observed along with improved surface morphology. The electrical properties have been derived from the Complex Impedance Spectroscopic studies. Arrhenius Plot, Concentration and Temperature dependent conductivity and activation energy have also been studied. The ionic transference number of the composite system remains unchanged on dispersion thereby retaining its category as Solid Ionic Conductor (SIC). Moreover, 30 Wt% BaTiO3 dispersed in Ag2SO4 offers promisingly enhanced ionic conductivity and reduced activation energy of ion migration. This material has further scope for its utilization as a silver ion conductor in electrochemical applications like solid state batteries, gas sensors etc. The results obtained fit well in the established theories of composites.
