Photoluminescence and supercapacitor applications of dysprosium doped rhombohedral silver gallium oxide nanoparticles

indent Dy3+ doped Silver Gallium Oxide (AgGaO2) nanoparticles (NPs) (AGO:Dy3+) are effectively synthesized via a green mediated route using Aloe vera gel extract as a reducing agent, followed by calcination at 600 °C for 3 h. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transformation infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), photoluminescence (PL), and electrochemical studies were employed to confirm the synthesis, structural, luminescence, and supercapacitor properties of the NPs. The diffraction peaks of the synthesized samples possess a trigonal structure within a rhombohedral system. The surface morphology consists of a few irregular, a few hexagonal, and a few rice grain-structured NPs. The changes in the agglomeration were observed with variations in the dopant concentration. The direct energy band gap increases from 3.11 to 3.13 eV with an increase in the dopant concentration. Under 276 nm excitation, the PL spectra of AGO:Dy3+ nanophosphors reveal robust emission peaks attributed to 4F9/2 → 6F15/2 (480 nm) and 4F9/2 → 6F13/2 (565 nm). The confirmed critical distance signifies that energy transfer occurs through a multipolar interaction mechanism. The CIE chromaticity diagram illustrates the emission of yellowish green light from the phosphors. These investigations indicate the potential applications of AGO:Dy3+ nanocrystals in a light-emitting diode as a nanophosphor material. Nanocrystals in light-emitting diodes as a nanophosphor material. Thorough electrochemical investigations, encompassing cyclic voltammetry, were conducted to decipher redox reactions, electrode kinetics, and electrochemical behavior. The precise elucidation of ion transport kinetics was achieved through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), while the determination of supercapacitance values was accomplished via Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge (GCD) analysis. The supercapacitance values exhibited a remarkable range from 76.177 to 111.53 F/g, underscoring their sensitivity to dopant concentration. Consequently, the material synthesized in this groundbreaking study exhibits substantial promise for diverse applications, spanning from energy storage materials to the dynamic landscape of display technology.
