FTIR and Structural Analysis of Magnesium-Doped Bismuth Phosphate for Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance

Abstract

Bismuth phosphate (BiPO4) is a material whose enhanced structural stability and electrical conductivity makes it promising candidate for use in electrochemical energy. Magnesium ions significantly improve the electrochemical performance of the Bismuth phosphate lattice, making it suitable for use in supercapacitors and batteries. The doping process modifies the crystal structure and yields improved ionic conductivity and charge-discharge cycling stability. It is also an attractive option for scalable energy storage devices because of their affordability and simplicity of synthesis. Pure BiPO4 is generally facing problem in energy storage devices with outstanding performance because to its low electrical conductivity, material stability, electrochemical performance and scalability, which is a challenge in order to satisfy the need for dependable and effective energy storage solutions. The purpose of this research is to give better understanding of how magnesium (Mg) doping affects the structural and electrochemical characteristics of bismuth phosphate (BiPO4). This research is designed to prepare and characterize to evaluate its potential use in storage devices to address challenges related to their applications performance. Magnesium doped BiPO4 nanomaterials will be synthesized through sol gel method.  The improved characteristics of magnesium doped BiPO4 will be analyzed FTIR
