Ni substituted aluminum doped zinc titanate (AZNT) nano-particles: synthesis and characterization

We synthesized a series of Nickel-substituted Aluminium doped Zinc Titanate (AZNT) nano-particles using hydrothermal method. The structure of synthesized samples was meticulously analyzed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) while the lattice parameters, crystallite size and volume were calculated with utmost precision. The morphology was further examined using two advanced microscopy techniques Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). These techniques provide detailed imaging and analysis of nano-scale materials. FESEM involves usage of electron beam to scan the surface of a sample and the sample's grain size was estimated. The study investigated the dielectric properties within a frequency range of 10Hz to 50MHz. The dielectric constants and impedance parameters were analyzed. The physical properties of the samples, as determined through these methods, hold promise for practical applications in super capacitors and energy storage devices, offering a glimpse into a potentially transformative future in energy technology.
