Abstract
Generation of green electricity using porous nanostructure is a novel idea towards sustainable unconventional source of energy. Inexpensive, portable, eco-friendly, and biodegradable Alkali (Na, K) doped tin oxide nano porous structured hydroelectric cells were prepared by solid-state technique. X-Ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis have been performed to confirm the phase formation of the samples. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate surface morphology of all the samples. Mesoporosity of the samples was confirmed by Barrett‐Joyner‐Halenda technique. Two-inch diameter circular pellets were prepared to investigate hydroelectric properties and it was found that maximum output power of 61.5 mW delivered by 5 Mol% K doped SnO2 HEC. The observed electricity generation in doped SnO2 samples is more sustainable as compared to pure SnO2 HEC. Water molecules dissociation and ionic conduction of dissociated ions were further investigated by dielectric, dc conductivity measurements for all the samples in dry and wet states. Observed results show that Alkali element doped tin oxide nano porous structured hydroelectric cells may use as nonconvention source of energy.
