“…Generally, centrifugation can separate species of different sizes, mass or density and give specific size characteristics of nanoparticles. Prior studies on synthesis of nanoparticles via centrifugation have shown excellent nanoparticles with small and spherical shape of particles (36.65‐49.98 nm), highly crystalline (crystallite size of 25.36 nm) and good optical properties . Thus, the main objective of this study is to investigate the potential of P. speciosa leaves extract to be used in synthesis of AgNPs via green centrifugation technique.…”

Synthesis of nanoparticles based on plant extract as reduction agent has been discovered extensively due to its environmental friendly approach. In this work, a facile silver nanoparticles is synthesized via incorporation of silver nitrate aqueous solution with Parkia speciosa leaves extract. Centrifugation is introduces to improve the characteristics of nanoparticles. Chemical interactions have identified –OH stretching vibration, C=O and C=C, proving the presence of phenolic, terpenoid and flavonoid capped on silver nanoparticles. The TEM result demonstrates the silver nanoparticles had consistence spherical nanoparticles shape with average particles size (59.96 nm) in accordance with FESEM analysis. The structural analysis by XRD shows the nanoparticles had high degree of crystallinity (97%) and crystallite size (17.95 nm). The optical analysis by UV‐Vis reveals that the nanoparticle produces brown colour solution with high absorption band (465 nm). This proves that Parkia speciosa extract has potential as reduction agent in synthesis of silver nanoparticles.

“…7,9 Meanwhile, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) has also been investigated as a promising polymer host for water-soluble salt owing to its superabsorbent ability. 19 –21 PAA has a carboxylic acid group that swelled in salt-containing solution and could form gel easily. Therefore, PAA-based GPE has demonstrated high ionic conductivity close to that of a liquid electrolyte.…”

“…26,27 PAAm-PAA has both carbonyl and carboxyl groups which allow it to be water soluble, good gelatinizing, superabsorbent, and easily coordinate to alkali metal cations. 7,9,19,20 Besides, PAM could also act as a binder 26,27 to reinforce the mechanical strength of PAA. In this work, PAAm-PAA is chosen as the polymer host for water-soluble sodium sulfide (Na 2 S) salt to form GPE.…”

Rapid decay of photoanode, leakage from sealant, and evaporation of electrolyte are always the major concerns of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) based on liquid electrolyte. Subsequently, gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) appears as an attractive solution in addition to lower cost, lighter weight, and flexibility. Poly(acrylamide- co-acrylic acid) (PAAm-PAA) is of special interest to act as a polymer host to entrap liquid electrolyte because it provides high transparency, good gelatinizing properties, and excellent compatibility with the liquid electrolyte. In this work, the electrical and transport properties of PAAm-PAA GPE incorporating with water-soluble sodium sulfide were characterized by impedance spectroscopy. An increment of ionic conductivity was observed with the incorporation of ethylene carbonate (EC) and potassium chloride (KCl). The highest room temperature ionic conductivity of PAAm-PAA GPE is 70.82 mS·cm−1. QDSC based on PAAm-PAA GPE with the composition of 1.3 wt% of KCl, 0.9 wt% of EC, 55.3 wt% of PAAm-PAA, 38.5 wt% of sodium sulfide, and 4.0 wt% of sulfur can present up to 1.80% of light-to-electricity conversion efficiency.
