Abstract Various bionanocomposites were prepared by dispersing fumed silica (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles in biocompatible polymers like poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), chitosan (Chi), or alcohol) (PVA). For the preparation, a solvent evaporation method was followed. SEM micrographs verified fine dispersion of all used polymer matrices composites with low content. Sufficient interactions between functional groups and surface hydroxyl SiO revealed FTIR measurements. These favored silica. Mechanical...
Recent advances in the field of thermoelectrics have shown embedding appropriate nanostructures can significantly suppress lattice thermal conductivity and therefore enhance ZT. Here we report a new class thermoelectric composites PbTe–PbSnS2. PbSnS2 is naturally layered material (space group Pnma) comprised Sn–Pb bilayers approximately 0.6 nm thickness. High resolution transmission electron microscopy reveals segregates into coherent lamellar structures 50–100 thickness that extend 100 to...
We present a detailed study of the charge transport, optical reflectivity, and thermal transport properties n-type PbSe crystals. A strong scattering, mobility-limiting mechanism was revealed to be at play temperatures above 500 K. The is indicative complex electron-phonon interactions that cannot explained by conventional acoustical phonon scattering alone. applied first order non-parabolicity approximation extract density states effective mass as function doping both room temperature 700...
Abstract Phase immiscibility in PbTe–based thermoelectric materials is an effective means of top‐down synthesis nanostructured composites exhibiting low lattice thermal conductivities. PbTe 1‐ x S can be synthesized as metastable solid solution alloys through rapid quenching. Subsequent post‐annealing induces phase separation at the nanometer scale, producing nanostructures that increase phonon scattering and reduce conductivity. However, there has yet to any study investigating detail local...
Natural K-feldspars from igneous rocks have been examined by means of X-ray powder diffraction(XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in the spectral range 400-1400 cm-1,where Si-Al-O bonds exhibit dominant vibrations. From XRPD analysis three specieshave distinguished, i.e. microclines (3 samples), orthoclases (4 samples) sanidines samples);their unit cell parameters were calculated. The FTIR transmittance spectra all sampleshave common bands at 426, 463, 584, 604, 726 772...

The thermoelectric properties of materials with nominal compositions NaPb18−xSnxMTe20 (M = Sb, Bi) were investigated in the temperature range 300−650 K. All members have a cubic rock-salt (NaCl) type structure and exhibit p-type charge transport behavior between relative fraction Sn strongly affects physical, structural, materials. Independent nature pnicogen atom (M), electrical conductivity increases decreasing Pb:Sn ratio, whereas thermopower decreases. Hall effect data for selected...
