Preparation and characterization of chitosan grafted PMMA via gamma radiation for electrolyte in supercapacitor / Nor Kartini Jaafar

Solid polymer electrolytes may generally be defined as membranes that possess transport properties comparable with that of common liquid ionic solutions. In the present study, Chitosan (Ch), methyl methacrylate (MMA) were used to produce a grafted polymer Chg- PMMA using gamma irradiation grafting method. The grafted polymer Ch-g-PMMA, lithium triflouromethanesulfate (LiCF3S03 or LiTf), ethylene carbonate (EC) and silicon dioxide (SiCh) were then used in the preparation of solid polymer electrolytes (SPE), gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and composite polymer electrolyte (CPE). All samples were prepared by solution cast technique. Physical and electrical properties of SPE, GPE and CPE were investigated to find the suitable grafted polymer electrolytes composition for fabrication in lithium polymer supercapacitor. The conductivity of all samples was calculated from the complex impedance plot in the frequency range 100 Hz to 1 MHz

Structural and electronic properties of orthorhombic phase Bi₂Se₃ based on first-principles study / Muhammad Zamir Mohyedin ... [et al.]

Bi₂Se₃ is one of the promising materials in thermoelectric devices and is environmentally friendly due to its efficiency to perform in room temperature. Structural and electronic properties of Bi2Se3 were investigated based on the first-principles calculation of density functional theory (DFT) using CASTEP computer code. The calculation is conducted within the exchange-correlation of local density approximation (LDA) and generalised gradient approximation within the revision of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE) functional. A comparative study is carried out between the electronic properties of LDA and GGA-PBE. Lattice parameter and band gap are consistent with the other reports. Calculation from LDA is more accurate and has a better agreement than GGA-PBE in describing the lattice parameter of Bi2Se3. Band gap and density of states of LDA show higher electrical conductivity than GGA-PBE. Both LDA and GGA-PBE have same degree of thermal conductivity due to the occurrence of indirect band gap at same range of wave vector
