Enhancement of thermoelectric power factor of zinc oxide by nickel and indium dual doping

Chambakkoottathil Soumya et al.

Summary: The effect of dual substitution of indium and nickel on the structural and morphological deformation of zinc oxide and its enhancement of thermoelectric properties were investigated. The doped materials showed a similar hexagonal wurtzite structure to the host material, with increased crystallite size and strain due to the inclusion of cations with larger radius. The optical band gap energy decreased, leading to higher charge carrier density and improved transport properties. The doped samples exhibited highest electrical conductivity and seebeck coefficient, resulting in an increased power factor, while the thermal conductivity decreased. The highest figure of merit obtained was 0.11.

Combined Effect of Microstructure, Surface Energy, and Adhesion Force on the Friction of PVA/Ferrite Spinel Nanocomposites

Moustafa A. Darwish et al.

Summary: Nanocomposite films based on spinel ferrite (Mg0.8Zn0.2Fe1.5Al0.5O4) in a PVA matrix were prepared. Increasing the spinel concentration led to an increase in surface roughness due to the formation of nanoparticle agglomerates. Surprisingly, the composite with 6 wt.% filler exhibited a lower friction coefficient compared to similar composites, attributed to the combined effects of low roughness and surface energy. The agglomeration dynamics were tracked using the lateral mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM).
