The influence of different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.%) of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) filler on the dielectric properties of the cold-curing polyurethane (PU) resin is presented in this study. For this purpose, the direct DC conductivity and the broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements were used to describe the changes in dielectric responses of PU/ZnO nanocomposites over the frequency and temperature range, respectively. It can be stated that, the 1.0 wt.% nanoparticles and lower caused a decrease in the real relative permittivity compared to the pure PU resin, while the higher concentration of nanoparticles for frequencies above 1 Hz had the opposite effect. The presence of nanoparticles in the polyurethane resin affected the segmental dynamics of the polymer chain and changed a charge distribution in the given system. These changes caused a shift of local relaxation peaks in the spectra of imaginary permittivity and dissipation factor of nanocomposites. It is suggested that the temperature-dependent transition of the electric properties in the nano-composite is closely associated with the α-relaxation and intermediate dipolar effects (IDE).

<p>Sulfidic sodium ion conductors are currently investigated for the possible use in all-solid-state sodium ion batteries. The design of high performing electrolytes in terms of temperature-dependent ionic transport is based upon the fundamental understanding of structure – transport relationships within the given structural phase boundaries inherent to the investigated materials class. In this work, the Na<sup>+</sup> superionic structural family of Na<sub>11</sub>Sn<sub>2</sub>PS<sub>12</sub> is explored by using the systematic antimony substitution with phosphorous in Na<sub>11+<i>x</i></sub>Sn<sub>2+<i>x</i></sub>(Sb<sub>1-<i>y</i></sub>P<i><sub>y</sub></i>)<sub>1-<i>x</i></sub>S<sub>12</sub>. A combination of Rietveld refinements against X-ray synchrotron diffraction data with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is used to monitor the changes in the anionic framework, the Na<sup>+</sup> substructure and the ionic transport. A new simplified descriptor for the average Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion pathways, the average Na<sup>+</sup> polyhedral volume is introduced, which is used to correlate the contraction of the overall lattice and the found activation barriers in the system. This study exemplifies how substitution affects diffusion pathways in ionic conductors and widens the knowledge about the related structural motifs and their influence on the ionic transport in this novel class of ionic conductors.</p>

AbstractThermoelectric properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) are largely influenced by its electrical property. In this paper, we investigated the correlation between the electrical resistivity and synthesis temperature for aluminum (Al)-modified ZnO. At constant Al doping, the electrical resistivity of ZnO exhibited sharp decrease with increase in sintering temperature due to the increased carrier density resulting from Al
