Water Phase Synthesis Method of CuInS2 Nanoparticles and Its Application of Photovoltaic Device

With water as the medium, PVP as stabilizer and ammonia as complexing agents and adjusting pH value of the solution, we report an all-aqueous synthesis of highly photoluminescent and stable ZnS quantum dots (QDs) by water-phase synthesis reaction between ZnCl2 and NaS at different temperatures and times. The optimal reaction conditions of PVP-capped ZnS QDs were obtained through experiment as follows: the concentration ZnCl2 and NaS solution both are 1 mM, (PVP):(ZnCl2) = 0.0167 (v/v), (NH3):(ZnCl2)=1:300 (v/v), the optimal reaction temperature is 40 °C, the optimal reaction time is 30 min. With ammonia as complexing agents, Zn(OH)2 can dissolve in ammonia and form to complex ions ((Zn(NH3)4)2+), which make Zn2+ release slowly to control the nucleus growth rate of ZnS, thus obtain small size of nanoparticles. The fluorescence spectra shows that the emission peaks of ZnS QDs around ~395 nm and ~470 nm on the emission spectra, which are consistent with literatures, so nano-ZnS QDs was synthesized successfully in this paper.

Herein, we present a part of a study on the preparation of SiC-based composite nanopowders by the two-stage Aerosol-Assisted Vapor Phase Synthesis (AAVS) method from organosilicon precursors (neat hexamethyldisiloxane, neat tetramethoxysilane, ethanol solutions of polydimethylsiloxane). Upon generation, liquid aerosol droplets were transported in a stream of argon through a ceramic reactor tube maintained at 1200 °C. The resulting solid by-products were collected on a nylon filter as bulk powders. Each raw powder was, subsequently, pyrolyzed in a furnace reactor heated to 1650 °C under a flow of argon. After the final pyrolysis at 1650 °C, mostly nanocrystalline silicon carbide powder with small quantities of free excess carbon was obtained from the neat hexamethyldisiloxane system, composite powder of not fully converted silica and SiC was prepared from the neat tetramethoxysilane system, and C-rich/SiC composite was made from the ethanol/polydimethylsiloxane solution system. The prevailing phase of the SiC component was the regular β-SiC polytype. Most of the powders were composed of spheroidal particles – morphology imprinted during aerosol generation at 1200 °C and not much affected by the second-stage bulk pyrolysis at 1650 °C. The specifics of spheroidal morphology were characteristic of the applied precursor system.

Oxygen Ion

The Y2O3-ZrO2 binary system ceramic is considered to be most developed in application to the ZrO2-based materials. A cubic fluorite structure is generally achieved, as the metal ion of the additive (Y) takes place of the Zr4+ and oxygen ion vacancies are produced in the lattice to maintain the charge balance. This leads to almost totally ionic conductivity. The introduction of changeable valued CeO2 can further improve the total electronic conductivity through the defect equilibrium reaction between tetravalent Ce4+ and trivalent Ce3+ at high temperature and reducing atmosphere. In this study, solid phase synthesis method was employed for the preparation of (YO1.5)x-(CeO2)0.08-(ZrO2)0.9-x and (YO1.5)0.05-(CeO2)y- (ZrO2)0.95-y ceramics, while four probe DC conductivity measurement method was also applied under the temperature between 300 to 800°C. The results prove that the concentration of Y3+ is the main contribution of the electrical conductivity at low temperature.

The One

A two-phase synthesis method is described, which is capable of solving quite challenging path generation problems. A combined discrete Fourier descriptor (FD) is proposed for shape optimization, and a geometric-based approach is used for the scale–rotation–translation synthesis. The combined discrete FD comprises three shape signatures, i.e., complex coordinates (CCs), centroid distance (CD), and triangular centroid area (TCA), which can capture greater similarity of shape. The genetic algorithm–differential evolution (GA–DE) optimization method is used to solve the optimization problem. The proposed two-phase synthesis method, based on the combined discrete FD, successfully solves the challenging path generation problems with a relatively small number of function evaluations. A more accurate path shape can be obtained using the combined FD than the one-phase synthesis method. The obtained coupler curves approximate the desired paths quite well.
