In this work, we are interested in the synthesis of monophosphate α-NaCoPO ₄ , β-NaCoPO ₄ and γ-NaCoPO ₄ compounds by mechanochemical method and their characterization by X-ray powder diffraction patterns.

Layered oxides Na_xFe_1/2Mn_1/2O₂ (x = 1 and 2/3) are characterized by little energy loss which is necessary for applications in electronic devices.

LiNiPO₄ compound was prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction. The sample was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, infrared, Raman analysis spectroscopy and electrical impedance spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma with a = 10·0252(7) Å, b = 5·8569(5) Å and c = 4·6758(4) Å. Vibrational analysis was used to identify the presence of \( \mathrm{PO}_4^{3- } \) – group in this compound. The complex impedance has been measured in the temperature and frequency ranges 654–716 K and 242 Hz–5 MHz, respectively. The Z′ and Z″ vs frequency plots are well-fitted to an equivalent circuit consisting of series of combination of grains and grain boundary elements. Dielectric data were analysed using complex electrical modulus M* for the sample at various temperatures. The modulus plots are characterized by the presence of two peaks thermally activated. The frequency dependence of the conductivity is interpreted in terms of equation: \( {\sigma_{\mathrm{a}.\mathrm{c}.}}\left( \omega \right)=\left[ {{{{{\sigma_{\mathrm{g}}}}} \left/ {{\left( {1+{\tau^2}{\omega^2}} \right)}} \right.}+\left( {{{{{\sigma_{\infty }}{\tau^2}{\omega^2}}} \left/ {{1+{\tau^2}{\omega^2}}} \right.}} \right)+A{\omega^{\mathrm{n}}}} \right] \) . The near values of activation energies obtained from the analysis of M″, conductivity data and equivalent circuit confirms that the transport is through ion hopping mechanism dominated by the motion of Li⁺ in the structure of the investigated material.

Metallic perovskites have advantageous optical and electrical properties, making them a valuable class of semiconductors for the manufacturing of solar cells. CsMnBr₃ is notable among them due to its important optical characteristics. The electrical and dielectric characteristics as a semiconductor are examined in this study. Direct transitions with a 3.29 eV bandgap and an Urbach energy of 0.96 eV are revealed by the results. Through AC conductivity, it demonstrated semiconductor characteristics at 443 K. The dielectric loss varied with frequency and peaked at high frequencies. Furthermore, as temperature rose, a relaxation peak in the electrical modulus was seen to migrate to higher frequencies. Ac conductivity is described by the double power law expression. The conduction in our compound is governed by small polaron tunneling. Based on the optical results reported in the bibliography for this sample, we realize the importance of examining the electrical characteristics to comprehend the semiconductor behavior of CsMnBr₃.
