    Effects of Interfacial Interactions and Nanoparticle Agglomeration on the Structural, Thermal, Optical, and Dielectric Properties of Polyethylene/Cr2O3 and Polyethylene/Cr2O3/CNTs Nanocomposites
    (Springer, 2022-11-22T00:00:00) Gupta, Jaya; Kumar, Ajay; Roy, Ayan; Anu; Deeksha; Kour, Pawanpreet; Singh, Ravi Pratap; Yogesh, Gaurav Kumar; Yadav, Kamlesh
    In this report, we have synthesized the binary and ternary phase nanocomposites [(polyethylene (PE)1?X/(Cr2O3)x) and (PE)1?X/(Cr2O3)X/CNTs (where X = 0,�2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%)] using the melt mixing method and studied the structural, optical, thermal and dielectric properties with an increase in Cr2O3 nanofiller concentration. Our results show an increase in interfacial interactions between Cr2O3 nanofiller and PE matrix with an increase in nanofiller concentration up to X = 6%. After that, the interactions decreased with a further increase in X because of the increase in the size of the Cr2O3 nanoparticle aggregates. Incorporating 2% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into (PE)1?X/(Cr2O3)X nanocomposites, further decreases the interactions between the Cr2O3 nanofiller and the PE matrix. � 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Development of novel cathode materials based on MWCNT for energy storage/conversion devices
    (Springer Science and Business Media, LLC, 2017) Agnihotri, Shruti; Rattan, Sangeeta; Sharma, A. L.
    In Chap. 1, already available technology for energy storage solutions like capacitors, lead acid batteries, compressed air energy storage, flywheels has been discussed in order to compare their energy and power densities. Emphasis has been laid on Rechargeable Lithium ion Battery (Li-ion). Various materials which are already explored and used as cathode of battery has also been discussed with their merits and demerits. Further introduction of prepared orthosilicate material with used conductive additive Multiwalled carbon nano tube (MWCNT) has also given. In Chap. 2, methodology used to prepare respective Li2MnFeSiO4 material and its composite with MWCNT has been discussed in detail. Further, in order to validate its electrochemical application, different steps of cell assembly of Lithium half cell fabrication has also been discussed. Chapter 3 comprises of results obtained using standard Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Effect of used MWCNT on its morphology has been discussed in this chapter. A.C Impedance spectroscopy has been used to study variation in conductivity with respect to bared material. Possible reasons for increased conductivity with morphology has also been discussed in discussion. Chapter 4 includes conclusions drawn from mentioned results. This chapter summarizes measured conductivity values with different concentrations of MWCNT. Improved conductivity with respect to bared orthosilicate material has been pointed in this chapter. ?
