Abstract
Remarkable efforts have been dedicated to developing energy storage devices with hybrid design and nano-scale approaches. This study used a hydrothermal technique to synthesize pure and Mn-doped ZnS/ZnO hybrid nanocomposites. The chemical composition and crystallinity of ZnS/ZnO nanoparticles were confirmed by XRD analysis. The morphology of the nanocomposites was studied by scanning electron microscopy, which demonstrated their oval-shaped formation. Moreover, the variation of DC conductivity (σ) was observed to be directly proportional to the temperature. Electrical measurements demonstrated that the electrical resistivity (ρd.c) increased with doping at the same applied voltage. Therefore, the synthesized materials have a significant dielectric performance that may direct their application in energy storage devices.
