摘要
In this work, we have successfully synthesized a pure phase of alpha-alum KAl(SO4)(2)center dot 12H(2)O, denoted as KAlSD by the slow evaporation method, to be useful as a material in the storage energy domain. XRD analysis and IR spectroscopy confirmed the high pure cubic phase. Thermal dehydration results done by DTA-TG analysis confirmed a complete dehydration process around 520 K. Kinetic analysis using the linear regression analysis indicated that different models can explain each dehydration stage. The conduction mechanism process was followed by complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS). Conductivity within the material is thermally activated and occurs by the migration of mobile cations into the host lattice with activation energy equal to 1.08 eV. KAlSD is an ionic semiconductor that can be selected as good electrode material in the energy storage applications.
