  Polymer-Nanowire Hybrid Composites Based on PEDOT: PSS and AgNWs for High-Performance Conductive Films in Flexible Devices

  By R. Muthukumar, S. M. Prakash, Nantha Kumar P, Dinesh V, Radhey Shyam Meena, Sivakumar, Radhika G Deshmukh, V G Pratheep, Zakir Hussain

  Abstract: The growing demand for flexible photovoltaic and wearable optoelectronic devices has intensified research into polymer-based conductive composites that provide transparency, flexibility, and electrical efficiency. In this work, we report the fabrication and characterization of a hybrid polymer nanocomposite electrode comprising silver nanowires (AgNWs) embedded within a PEDOT:PSS matrix, deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. The PEDOT:PSS polymer phase, modified with 5 vol% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 0.1 vol% Zonyl …

  Steam Activated Carbon Material from the Fruit Shells of Sterculia foetida for Energy and Environmental Applications

  By Vignesh Sridharan, Indra Neel Pulidindi, Prakash Vaithyanathan, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, Viswanathan Balasubramanian

  Abstract: Steam activation of the biochar from Sterculia foetida forms a green route for the synthesis of activated carbon material with high specific surface area (1017 m2/g). The corresponding value with a chemical activating agent (K2CO3) is much lower (596 m2/g). Structural parameters of the activated carbon materials were deduced from XRD studies. Moreover the thermal stability of the activated carbon materials from steam activation is nearly 100°C higher than that …
