In
present study, we have synthesized intrinsically conductive poly(1,6-heptadiynes)
via cyclopolymerization
technique, and further it is composited with the NiFe

to fabricate pellet for electrical and electronic applications.
The synthesized polymer

characteristics were obtained by two-probe measurement technique.
The results suggest that the high current density of the synthesized
polymer was in the range of 1.2 × 10

–3.1
× 10

S/cm, which attributes to the potentially
induced hoping charge-carrier mechanism
within the conjugated poly(1,6-heptadiynes). NiFe

/poly(1,6-heptadiynes) composite
pellets were fabricated by utilizing hydraulic pelletizer. The sample’s
electrical measurements were performed via broad-band dielectric impedance
spectroscopy, wherein the composite permittivity was about ε
= 45 (100 Hz to 10 kHz), which attributes to the NiFe

and poly(1,6-heptadiynes) phases; further, this describes
the capacitance, which improved from 0.3 to 0.1 pf at 1 kHz. Also,
these results suggest the reduced equivalent series resistance (72.1–1
MHz), which attributes to the incorporated intrinsically conducting
poly(1,6-heptadiynes). Thus, the reduced dissipation factor (DF =
0.0032) was observed from impedance characteristics of a nanocomposite.
Moreover, the improved
Q
-factor was observed, which
was about 8.1–310 at 1 kHz. The resistance and capacitance
time constant was also computed to be about 0.29 μs at 1 kHz
for NiFe

/poly(1,6-heptadiynes) nanocomposite.
Furthermore, the nanocomposite-enabled capacitor gravimetric energy
density and power densities were calculated to be about 0.00575 mJ/g
and 9.91 W/g, respectively. Additionally, thermal threatening, that
is, heat generated within the capacitor,
P
loss
is also estimated for the nanocomposite capacitor, which improved
from 0.0006 to 8.9 × 10

, and these results
suggest improved nanocomposite thermal stability. Further, the delineated
quantities were compared to the commercially available configurations
of tantalum hybrid capacitors and Al and Ta electrolytic capacitors,
including carbon electrochemical capacitors, which suggest that the
reported nanocomposites could be a suitable candidate for electrical
and electronic applications.
