Comprehensive Characterization of Graphene-zinc Oxide-silica Nanocomposites for Enhanced Conductive Applications

Background: The applications of nanocomposite materials require stable and high electrical performance for the potential conductive applications. Objectives: This study aimed to present the effect of introducing different compositions of nanomaterials and to obtain the highly conductive composite composition and its relative analysis. Methods: The XRD, SEM, and TEM tests were conducted to study different characteristics related to the characterization and composition of the nanomaterials. Results: The laboratory results show that the conductivity test revealed that Sample-6 (Rk-6) exhibited the lowest impedance value of 15.26 Ω, indicating its superior conductivity among the samples tested. These findings significantly contribute to the field of graphene research, providing valuable insights into the potential of GZS nanocomposites for applications that require enhanced conductivity. Conclusion: With the proposed composition of the synthesis of GZS nanocomposites using graphene, zinc oxide, and silica, the study successfully demonstrated improved storage capabilities and can be well suited for low-power applications in the fabrication of nanorods, polymers, and polyester resin.
