Design of hybrid Bi-Zr Perovskite polymer nanocomposites for multifunctional high-performance electrochemical and photonic applications

The innovation of perovskite-structured materials has revealed remarkable features that make them highly suitable for advanced technology applications. Herein, the exploration of the synthesis of Bi-Zr-O perovskite with a blend of polymer nanocomposites, specifically integrating bismuth zirconate combined with conductive copolymers derived from N-methyl pyrrole and o-anisidine. On utilizing the co-precipitation method Bi-Zr-O perovskite structure has aided to form hybrid polymer nanocomposites as poly-N-methyl pyrrole-BiZrO (PNMPy—BiZrO), poly(o-anisidine)-BiZrO (PoA—BiZrO), and poly(N-methyl pyrrole-co–o-anisidine)-BiZr (PNMPy—PoA—BiZrO) were produced via simultaneous chemical oxidative polymerization. A range of characterization techniques were used in this study. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the perovskite structure of BiZrO was preserved in all samples, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that the polymers were successfully integrated into the BiZr matrix. The surface morphologies revealed distinct confirmation of the purity and composition of the materials. The highlight of this research are assessment of blend Bi-Zr-O polymer nanocomposites, emphasizing their potential for advanced optoelectronic and electrochemical applications, particularly in flexible displays with improved transparency and UV-shielding for next-generation electronics.
