Conception of Ag: LaMnO3 Composite and Investigation of its Electrical and Magnetic Properties with Application to Hydroelectric Cell
摘要
Nanoparticles comprising a combination of silver and lanthanum manganite, specifically LaxAg(1-x)MnO3(with x values of 0.05 and 0.15), were produced using the sol–gel and auto-combustion process. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of the synthesized nanoparticles with variation in crystalline size. FE-SEM micrograph confirms the evenly distribution of nanoparticles and EDS displays elemental analysis of major elements of the materials. Magnetization analysis at room temperature confirms amended saturation magnetization in material, whereas La0.95Ag0.05MnO3 exhibits a maximum saturation magnetization of 0.43 emu/g. Furthermore, the enhanced performance of the prepared material in hydroelectric cells, attributed to improved structural stability and ion diffusion mechanisms, underscores its potential utility in such applications.
