Reply to the 'Comment on "Enhancing the output performance of hybrid nanogenerators based on Al-doped BaTiO composite films: a self-powered utility system for portable electronics"', by A. Tkach and O. Okhay, , 2023, , D3TA01041D

With this contribution, we reply to the Comment by Tkach et al . on our publication in J . Mater . Chem. A , 2018, 6 , 16101. We provide proper evidence to clarify all these queries either by providing a further explanation or through additional experimental results. From the ferroelectric characteristics and dielectric studies, we demonstrate that the remnant polarization and dielectric constant of BaTiO 3 are varied with the aluminum (Al) dopant concentration and also noticed that the BaTiO 3 with 2% Al dopant concentration is an optimized sample (compared to the others) to attain a high remnant polarisation and dielectric constant. Besides, the other material data of the samples are further analyzed and the presence of Al dopant content is confirmed in the BaTiO 3 . With this contribution, we reply to the Comment by Tkach et al . on our publication in J. Mater . Chem. A , 2018, 6 , 16101. For that, we provide additional experimental evidence including the structural and material characteristics of ABTO.
