This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and electrical properties of Gd2NiTiO6 (GNTO) double perovskite using the sol-gel citrate auto-ignition method. The structure, microstructure, and compositional distribution of the sample were analyzed through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The results confirmed a single-phase monoclinic structure with space group P21/n, and the electrical study revealed the thermally activated conduction mechanism and semiconductive character of the material. The frequency-dependent complex dielectric spectra were investigated using the Havriliak-Nigami (HN) formalism, and the temperature variation of leakage-current density was determined from J-E characteristics curves.
This work discusses the synthesis, characterization, and electrical properties of Gd2NiTiO6 (GNTO) double perovskite synthesized using the sol-gel citrate auto-ignition method. The structure, microstructure, and compositional distribution of the sample were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Rietveld's refinement of the XRD pattern corroborated the single-phase monoclinic structure with space group P21/n. The impedance spectra demonstrated grain and grain boundary contributions to the total conductivity and the non-Debye type relaxation. The electrical study also established the semiconductive character of the material. The investigation showed that the conduction mechanism was thermally activated. The frequency-dependent complex dielectric spectra have been investigated using the Havriliak-Nigami (HN) formalism. The temperature variation of leakage-current density was found from J-E characteristics curves.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
