Fully environmental approach to design advanced optical polymer composites with high optoelectronic performance using green synthesized nickel metal complexes.

ABSTRACT: In this study breakthrough methodology has been used to deliver advanced polymer composites based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) integrated with green-synthesized nickel metal complex (NiMC), utilizing a simple casting methodology. The structural and optical characteristics of PVA composite films were studied using XRD, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy, respectively. Band shifting in FTIR spectra and broadening of sharp peak in PVA composites compared to pure PVA establish strong interaction between NiMC and PVA functional groups. The surface of the films was examined for roughness and phase separation using FESEM investigation. Various optical models were employed to determine the optical band gap (E_g). The E_g decreased from 6.05 eV to 1.69 eV for direct and 1.21 eV for ind
