Abstract
In this study LC/NiO based paper electrode are employed to enhance the optical and electrochemical modulation in energy conversion application at nano-scale due to its large band gap, chemical stability, electrical conductivity and optical properties. By complexation precipitation method NiO nano particles have been synthesize that are well defined in terms of size and structure. In this era of advancement with the increasing demand of flexible and portable electronics we incorporate flexibility factor in energy conversion devices in the form of lignocelluloses by replacing FTO and ITO glass with LC sheet. In this article we are working on LC/NiO sheets which are formed through Carica Papaya source. XRD revealed that synthesized NiO has cubic structure and 7nm in crystalline size. The morphology, structure and optical properties of these particles are characterized through X-ray diffraction, FTIR, Scanning Electron Microscope, Cyclic Voltammeter and UV-visible spectrometer.
