Progressing Energy Storage and Antimicrobial Nanochitosan‐<scp>Li<sub>2</sub>CaO<sub>2</sub></scp>@Flumox Nanocomposites
ABSTRACT This study presents the fabrication and comprehensive characterization of ultrasensitive electrochemical nanocomposites based on nanochitosan‐Li 2 CaO 2 @Flumox, polymerized with SiO 2 . Utilizing sol–gel and polymerization techniques, we explored the intricate interplay between the chemical stability of the nanochitosan‐Li 2 CaO 2 @Flumox complex and the release dynamics of nanoparticles, which are significantly influenced by the presence of chitosan's amino groups. The results reveal a robust synergistic interaction between chitosan and Li 2 CaO 2 /SiO 2 @Flumox, culminating in remarkable antimicrobial activity, with the zone of inhibition values of 9–15 mm, respectively. Furthermore, the chitosan‐based materials demonstrate exceptional promise for biotechnology and supercapacitor technology applications, owing to their biocompatibility, bioactivity, and energy storage capabilities. The 0.3F sample confirmed the highest conductivity with the lowest R ct (70.4 Ω), while all Flumox‐modified composites showed reduced charge transfer resistance compared to the unmodified nanocomposite (0F, 370.06 Ω). This research underscores the potential of nanochitosan‐Li 2 CaO 2 /SiO 2 @Flumox as a pioneering solution in developing susceptible electrochemical systems using the cyclic voltammetry technique, which is significant for advancing supercapacitor applications and enhancing energy storage solutions.
