Abstract
Bimetallic nanoparticles are of great significance in numerous areas due to their unique properties and diverse applications. In the present study, silver (Ag) and cobalt (Co) monometallic nanoparticles (MNPs) and AgCo bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs), are synthesized using a simple wet chemical route. Various analytical techniques are adopted for the confirmation of the BNPs. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis revealed the formation of FCC-structure. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) micrographs confirmed the bimetallic nature and Janus structure. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit higher catalytic activity for degrading 4-nitrophenol dye. Recognizing the potential of metal nanoparticles to significantly boost the efficiency of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), the synthesized AgCo bimetallic nanoparticles are incorporated into polymer matrix to meticulously analyze the impact on the triboelectric performance. Interestingly, TENG with a higher composite quantity of 8 ml BNPs exhibited greater performance, generating an output voltage of about 270.52 V and a current of 5.24 µA. Hence, the procured synergistic BNPs show their promising avenue towards both water treatment and energy harvesting applications.
