Effect of SrO nanofillers on the physical and chemical properties of newly prepared PVA nanocomposites was investigated in‐depth in this article. The structure of SrO nanopowder and PVA nanocomposites were analyzed using FTIR for surface chemistry and XRD for crystallographic nature. The extent of dispersion and particle size of SrO nanopowders were obtained from TEM micrographs. The average particle size of the SrO nanopowder was 57 nm. The uniformly dispersed SrO nanofillers in the host PVA matrix were observed from the TEM micrographs. The prepared PVA nanocomposites displayed a high absorption in the UV region. The thermal stability of PVA nanocomposites was enhanced after the addition of SrO nanofillers. The nonisothermal degradation study was carried out using different kinetic models for the prepared PVA nanocomposites. The Young's modulus (Y) and tensile strength of the PVA nanocomposites were higher than that of the pristine PVA. The DC conductivity of PVA was also increased when the PVA was embedded with the SrO nanoparticles. Highlights The novel PVA nanocomposites embedded with SrO nanofillers were prepared by the solution casting method. The band gap of PVA was decreased gradually while increasing the concentration of SrO nanofillers. The thermal degradation of polymer composites was studied under nonisothermal heating using several kinetic models. The thermal stability of PVA was enhanced after the addition of SrO nanofillers. The electrical and mechanical Properties of PVA nanocomposites were also improved.

“…Polymer capped semiconductor layers had enhanced and tunable optical, and electrical properties for their potential applications in various fields such as solar cells, field effect transistors, optical switching, light emitting diodes and photodetectors [32][33][34][35] . Many materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylonitrile, polyethylene glycol, polymethyl methacrylate and polyvinylpyrrolidone have been used as capping agents [36,37] . Among all these polymers, there is currently a great interest in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for researchers due to its superior properties such as good film forming ability, bio-degradability, non-toxicity, hydrophilicity, low cost, chemical resistance and transparency over the whole visible spectrum [38][39][40] .…”

Structural and optical studies on PVA capped SnS films grown by chemical bath deposition for solar cell application

Tin monosulphide (SnS) thin films capped by PVA have been successfully deposited on glass substrates for cost effective photovoltaic device applications by a simple and low-cost wet chemical process, chemical bath deposition (CBD) at different bath temperatures varying in the range, 50–80 °C. X–ray diffraction analysis showed that the deposited films were polycrystalline in nature, showing orthorhombic structure with an intense peak corresponding to (040) plane of SnS. These observations were further confirmed by Raman analysis. FTIR spectra showed the absorption bands which corresponds to PVA in addition to SnS. The scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy studies revealed that the deposited SnS films were uniform and nanostructured with an average particle size of 4.9 to 7.6 nm. The optical investigations showed that the layers were highly absorbing with the optical absorption coefficient ~105 cm–1. A decrease in optical band gap from 1.92 to 1.55 eV with an increase of bath temperature was observed. The observed band gap values were higher than the bulk value of 1.3 eV, which might be due to quantum confinement effect. The optical band gap values were also used to calculate particle size and the results are discussed.
