Enhancing dielectric permittivity in barium ferrite: a novel material for energy storage and advanced electronics applications - Discover Applied Sciences

This study investigated the permittivity properties of BaZn1+xMnxFe12-2xO19 (x = 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0), a compound synthesized via the standard ceramic method, to explore its potential for energy storage and electronic applications. We employed X-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase composition analysis and LCR meter was employed to measure the real and imaginary permittivity across temperatures of 297–530 K and frequencies of 10–100 kHz. The XRD analysis confirmed a pure phase and revealed influences on crystal size, x-ray density, and lattice parameters.The observed Maxwell–Wagner-type polarization enhances the material’s low dielectric loss and high permittivity, making it well-suited for EMI shielding and radar-absorbing materials (RAMs). Results showed that Zn–Mn ion concentration improves the dielectric permittivity and positively impacts the thermal stability and Curie temperature, enhancing the material’s magnetic stability suitable for energy storage applications. These findings not only underscore and highlight the enhanced material’s suitability of BaZn1+xMnxFe12-2xO19 for energy storage applications but also exhibits strong potential for microwave devices, supercapacitors, high-frequency capacitors, and advanced energy storage devices, electromagnetic interference, and absorbent materials in advanced electronic devices, further broadening its practical applications in green technology.

I'm thrilled to share our latest research on advanced materials for energy storage and high-frequency electronics. Our study focuses on Mn–Zn-doped barium ferrite, a material that shows significant improvements in dielectric permittivity and thermal stability, making it ideal for applications in supercapacitors, RAMs, and high-frequency capacitors.(https://doi.org/10.1007/s42452-025-06801-z)

In our experiments, we synthesized BaZn₁₊ₓMnₓFe₁₂₋₂ₓO₁₉ ceramics with varying concentrations of Mn and Zn. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and dielectric measurements, we observed that increasing the Mn–Zn ion concentration enhances the dielectric permittivity and positively impacts the thermal stability and Curie temperature of the material. These properties are crucial for the development of efficient energy storage systems and advanced electronic devices.([ResearchGate][2])

One of the key findings is the material's ability to maintain high dielectric permittivity across a range of temperatures and frequencies. This behavior is attributed to the Maxwell–Wagner-type polarization, which enhances the material's low dielectric loss and high permittivity, making it well-suited for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and radar-absorbing materials (RAMs).([ResearchGate][2])

Our research demonstrates that Mn–Zn-doped barium ferrite is a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage and high-frequency electronic applications. The improved dielectric properties and thermal stability open up new possibilities for the design of capacitors, supercapacitors, and other electronic components that require materials with high energy storage capabilities and reliability under varying environmental conditions.

Engineering: Technological Advancement in Wireless Sensor Networks and Its Scope in Industry 4.0 IoT

This Topical Collection is dedicated to highlighting the cutting-edge methods and latest research in the field of smart sensing, primarily in terms of exploring the latest machine learning analytics to extract information from the consequent sensory data, and investigating potential risk and countermeasures to ensure the security and privacy of sensing devices in WSN based Internet of Things/ Industrial Internet of things (IoT/IIoT). It allows researchers in WSN and IoT community to demonstrate their new ideas which may potentially reshape the future of IoT/IIoT. While sensing data have been traditionally processed within a powerful remote cloud server, the recent emergence of edge computing with these communication technologies makes it feasible to perform AI processing at the edges. Edge processing is aimed at overcoming the slower and more expensive method of sending the data to the cloud. The benefits of the parallel development of cloud-edge technologies in wireless sensor networks and communications are manifold. The progress in the development of these technologies has opened several new opportunities in multi-domain applications, such as smart cities, transportation, intelligent manufacturing, and e-Health.
