Developing Low-Cost, High Performance, Robust and Sustainable Perovskite Electrocatalytic Materials in the Electrochemical Sensors and Energy Sectors: “An Overview”

Abstract

Since its discovery in 1839, research on the synthesis and application of perovskite materials has multiplied largely due to their suitability to be used in the fields of nanotechnology, chemistry and material science. Appropriate changes in composition or addition of other elements or blending with polymers may result in new hybrid and/or composite perovskite materials that will be applied in advanced fields. In this review, we have recapitulated the recent progress on perovskite nanomaterial in solar cell, battery, fuel cell and supercapacitor applications, and the prominence properties of perovskite materials, such as excellent electronic, physical, chemical and optical properties. We discussed in detail the synthesis and results of various perovskite hybrid nanomaterials published elsewhere. We have also discussed the results of various studies on these low dimensional composite nanomaterials in broad sectors such as electronics/optoelectronics, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells and electrochemical sensors.

Cellulose Nanofiber Composite with Bimetallic Zeolite Imidazole Framework for Electrochemical Supercapacitors

“…The deconvolution of C1s peaks is shown in Figure 4a. The peak appeared at 284.58 and 287.99 for C-C sp 3 /C=C sp 2 and C=O, respectively. The broad peak at 285.58 is assigned to C-O and C-O-C groups [46].…”

“…With rapid urbanization, the frontiers of energy harvesting and storage technologies have been expanding massively. Technologies such as solar devices, perovskite based materials, fuel cells, Li-ion batteries, and supercapacitors are being investigated and applied widely [1][2][3]. Supercapacitors have dominated the research in this field owing to their low cost, environmentally benign operation, long cycling life, high power, and energy density [4][5][6][7].…”

Graphene-Based Sensor for the Detection of Cortisol for Stress Level Monitoring and Diagnostics

“…Electrochemical sensors are attractive devices with potential applications in quality control of food, water and pharmaceutical compounds [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. In recent years, there has taken place an ongoing search in the scientific community for low-cost and high-precision electrochemical sensors [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. In general, in the electrochemical sensors the role of the detector is played by the modified electrode in the presence of the investigated substance.…”

Surface Engineering of Perovskites for Rechargeable Zinc–Air Battery Application

“…For that matter, perovskite catalysts are highly desirable owing to their superior catalytic activity, compositional flexibility, tunable surface, and so on. Typically, perovskites with an ABO 3 structure where A as lanthanide (or alkaline earth metal) and B as a transition metal are of considerable importance since partial substitution of A or B sites could devise the electronic band structure and improve the electronic conductivity. − Strontium-doped cobaltite commonly called as LSC (La 0.6 Sr 0.4 CoO 3−δ ) possesses surface lattice oxygen that acts as vital redox partners to activate the molecular oxygen in oxygen catalysis reaction. − Lately, defect engineering or designing complex perovskite oxides by monitoring the defects within the phase structure has shown to influence the bifunctionality and electrochemical performance of perovskites. To fathom, La 0.5 Sr 0.5 CoO 3– d and SrCoO 3– d were extensively investigated by Shao-Horn to track the OER process and reaction mechanism involved .…”
