Multifunctional Ba(10-x) Nix La30 Si60 Glassy Composites for Thermoluminescent, and Opto-electronic Use

Past three decades to current literature, lanthanum silicates embedded with nickel ions are notable for different opto-electronic and semiconducting use. Current days of opto-electronics, including advanced semiconducting resources, need different assemblies of glass resources employing elastic, luminescent, and electronic characteristics. In this view, the opto-electronic resource of chemical composition Ba(10-x)NixLa30Si60 has planned for synthesis followed by mechanical, thermoluminescent, and opto-electronic characterization. The materials developed are showing glassy behavior, and which was confirmed by the structural characterization. The glass with 0.6 mol% NiO concentration exhibiting better thermal stability. Observations made on the elastic characterization of glasses suggested covalent structure. DTA results which include thermal stabilities of glasses, suggest materials are capable of high thermal stability. Molecular structure of glasses studied with the help of FT-IR spectra. Different structural units and their waves number positions are identified and analysed. Which also suggested glassy behavior. D.C. Conductivity reports suggest that the materials are electrically active, and they are showing few orders of ionic conductivity. A decrease in optical basicity with increasing NiO mol% of glasses suggests high order of covalence. Trap depth parameters (Tm, E𝛕, E𝛅, E𝛚 & ms) under thermoluminescence studies suggest glass with 0.6 mol% NiO concentration is a beneficial TL resource. Optical absorption spectra of glasses is recorded, and which helps to calculate the Racah parameters of glasses. Refractive index, emissive cross-section, optical band gap, and transition probability of nickel hosted present glasses evaluated with the help of photoluminescence characterization. This suggests glasses embedded with nickel ions are highly photonic. All the outcomes from the various characterization of glasses which include mechanical, thermoluminescent, and photo-electronic results, suggest a glass with 0.6 mol% NiO concentration is a helpful thermoelement and opto-electronic resource.

Konduktivitas Apatit Lantanum Silikat La9.33Si6O26 Hasil Sintesis Hidrotermal dengan Mineraliser NaOH dan KOH

<p>Apatit lantanum silikat banyak digunakan sebagai elektrolit pada sel bahan bakar padatan (SOFC). Beberapa oksida apatit lantanum silikat La_9.33Si₆O₂₆telah disintesis dengan metode hidrotermal guna mengamati pentingnya peranan mineraliser terhadap karakternya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi mineraliser terhadap kristalinitas, ukuran partikel dan hubungannya dengan sifat konduktivitas oksida apatit lantanum silikat. Struktur, ukuran partikel dan konduktivitas oksida apatit masing-masing dikarakterisasi dengan XRD, PSA dan spektroskopi impedansi. Oksida apatit lantanum silikat diperoleh dengan melarutkan La₂O₃ dan Na₂SiO₃ dengan mol ratio 1,555 menggunakan mineraliser NaOH (3-5 M) dan KOH (0,3-0,7 M). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja elektrolit sangat ditentukan oleh kristalinitas dan morfologi apatit lanthanum silikat yang dipengaruhi oleh jenis dan konsentrasi mineralizer. Ukuran apatit lantanum silikat terkecil diperoleh dari hasil sintesis dengan menggunakan mineraliser NaOH 3 M yaitu 1,7889 µm, dengan nilai konduktivitas tertinggi yaitu 1,99×10^-6S/cm pada suhu operasi 600 ºC. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut NaOH 3 M merupakan mineraliser yang paling baik untuk menghasilkan apatit lanthanum silikat La_9.33Si₆O₂₆.</p><p><strong>Conductivity of </strong><strong>L</strong><strong>anthanum </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>ilicate </strong><strong>A</strong><strong>patite </strong><strong>P</strong><strong>hase of La_9.33Si₆O₂₆ </strong><strong>P</strong><strong>repare</strong><strong>d</strong><strong> by </strong><strong>H</strong><strong>ydrothermal </strong><strong>S</strong><strong>ynthesis using NaOH and KOH as </strong><strong>M</strong><strong>ineralizer</strong><strong>. </strong>Lanthanum silicates are used as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Some oxide-based apatite has been synthesized by hydrothermal method to observe mineralizer effect on the process of crystallization. The effect of type and amount of mineralizers for preparing apatite –type lanthanum silicate of La_9.33Si₆O₂₆was investigatedon its crystallinity, particle size, as well as on the conductivity properties relationship were investigated. The structure, particle size and conductivity of La_9.33Si₆O₂₆ was characterized using X-ray diffraction, particle size analyzer and impedance spectroscopy respectively. The results show that the electrolyte performance is strongly dependent on the crystallinity and the morphology textural of lanthanum silicate apatite affected by the type and amount of mineralizer.
