Structural, Electrical and Hydroelectric Cell Investigation in Environment Friendly LSMO:BT Composite

La0.67Sr0.33MnO3: BaTiO3 ((1-x)LSMO:xBT, x = 0, 0.5 and 1) composite ceramics were prepared by solid-state method. The X-ray diffraction studies of the LSMO:BT samples confirm the formation of pure phase in the LSMO composite. The XRD pattern reveals crystallite size ranged in nanometer-scale in LSMO-BT composite. FT-IR studies for LSMO:BT composite disclosed indicating towards blueshift of the metal-oxygen absorption band with increase in LSMO content, although variations in broadness were noted for LSMO-BT composite. The relative loss factor versus frequency was also studied. The properties of LSMO:BT composites exhibit strong Maxwell-Wagner Polarization and display strong dependence on composition. The impedance spectroscopy analysis helps in understanding the types of the contribution of charge carriers and grain/grain boundary effect in LSMO-BT composites. The composite exhibited enhanced performance in hydroelectric cells which demonstrates the great ion diffusion mechanism with increasing content of LSMO in BT and is better suited for use in microelectronic and hydropower cell applications.
