Abstract
In this present work, the double perovskite Y2NiMnO6 nanostructures had been successfully synthesized through the hydrothermal route. Using various characterization techniques, the structural, morphological, impedance, dielectric, electrochemical, and magnetic properties were analyzed. The monoclinic (P21/n) structure of the prepared Y2NiMnO6 was confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction. Results from the scanning electron microscope showed the formation of Y2NiMnO6 nanostructures. TEM image of Y2NiMnO6 nanoparticles revealed d-spacing of 0.56 nm and selected area electron diffraction pattern showed (311) plane for Y2NiMnO6. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis was performed on the lattice fringes and the diffraction spots indexed to the cubic spinel. The dielectric, impedance, modulus, and AC conductivity of the synthesized double perovskite Y2NiMnO6 were studied in the frequency range of 100 Hz–5 MHz at room temperature. The effect of grain and grain boundary was analyzed by the Nyquist plot. The presence of non-Debye type of relaxation was confirmed from the dielectric, impedance, and modulus studies. The elaborated studies of complex impedance spectra provided the basis to understand the electrical properties, which had strong relations with the microstructure and resistive nature of the prepared material. The electrochemical behavior of the prepared Y2NiMnO6 with three-electrode system was found to have pseudocapacitive nature with the specific capacitance value 8.633 F/g for 0.5 M KOH, 75.476 F/g for 1 M KOH, and 78.201 F/g for 2 M KOH at the scan rate of 10 mV/s. The specific capacitance values were improved by increasing the concentration of electrolyte. The vibration sample magnetometer of the synthesized Y2NiMnO6 shows the paramagnetic behavior at room temperature.
