- Abstract
Nanoparticles today have the upper hand in its manufacturing desirability in more or less every aspect of the working areas, from industrial and commercial to self-care products. In this paper, the applicational prospects of varistors for the composite mixture of rGO and Ag-nanopowders were studied via samples with varying compositions. Hummers modified method and burst method were employed for the synthetisation of GO, rGO, and Ag-nanopowders, respectively. The structural nature and electrical behaviour were understood by the means of variegated characterisations. The purity of GO and rGO were confirmed via Raman analysis. XRD and FTIR exhibited the attributed peak values for GO and rGO, Ag-nanopowders. The topographical and elemental details were acquired through FESEM and EDX studies, which talked about the wrinkled paper-like structure for GO and rGO and spherical structural nature of Ag. Current–voltage plot was studied for the better understanding of the electrical inhabitation. It was observed that rGO + Ag, being two constituent networks, gave small values but still showed an increase, which means if used with complex arrangement, they have the possibility to be considered in the material fabrication for high-voltage varistors domains.
