Precipitation of barium sulfate nanoparticles via impinging streams

The impinging streams technology (abbreviated as IS) has good micromixing in the precipitation processes. The experiments were loaded with two reactants, BaCl₂ and Na₂SO₄, to prepare BaSO₄ in the impinging streams reactor, comparing with those in the direct precipitation (DP) reactor. XRD and TEM were used to analyze the crystal type, the morphology and size of particles through the photographs. The results indicate the size of the particles from IS is about 30 nm and of narrower distribution and finer dispersibility than that from DP.     

Change in the decomposition mode of 1-propanamine due to the presence of cations in MFI zeolite

The adsorption and thermal analysis of 1-propanamine has been compared over MFI zeolites which contain H, Ga, and In cations. In the case of H⁺-containing materials, NH₃ and propene are simultaneously desorbed above 600 K. This behavior, is well known and characteristic of the Hofmann elimination reaction. However, a distinctly different mode of reaction is observed in the case of Ga and In containing materials. NH₃ is released below 600 K, propene and other products are released above 600 K, and a stable residue remains above 800 K. It is suggested that such behavior results from Lewis acid interactions of Ga or In cations with propanamine.On leave from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Organic Chemistry.     

Pulsed laser deposition of indium antimonide

Single crystalline oriented films of indium antimonide have been grown on cadmium telluride substrates by the pulsed laser deposition technique. The films were (111) oriented which is the substrate orientation. The composition of the grown films were found to deviate from that of the target owing to loss of antimony during evaporation. This deviation from stoichiometry led to film-substrate reaction, resulting in mixed interface. The antimony deficiency in the films were controlled by correcting the stoichiometry, which led to avoiding mixed interfaces. The stoichiometric films showed good surface morphology and well defined sharp interfaces. The IR transmission spectrum showed sharp band to band absorption and effective detection in the MWIR.

Characterization of CuInS2 thin films for solar cells prepared by spray pyrolysis

We have made a study of the chemical composition, the electrical, the optical and the structural properties of polycrystalline CuInS₂ thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis to be used for thin film solar cells. These films were deposited starting from aqueous solutions with different chemical compositions ([Cu]/[In] and [S]/[Cu] ratios) and at different substrate temperatures. In all cases, the material is p-type with grains preferentially oriented in the (112) direction of the sphalerite structure. The electro-optical properties show a very strong dependence on the [Cu]/[In] ratio in the solution. Films with copper excess have smaller resistivity and better crystallinity than those which are stoichiometric or have indium excess. The results obtained in this work show the possibility of having CuInS₂ thin films with a wide range of resistivity, a fact that could be important for making solar cells based on this material.

Electrochemical behaviour of indium ions in molten equimolar CaCl2–NaCl mixture at 550 ∘C

The stability of indium chloride and oxide as well as the electrochemical behaviour of indium ions have been studied in the equimolar CaCl2–NaCl melt at 550 C by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and different electrochemical techniques, using molybdenum and tungsten wires as working electrodes. Voltammetric and chronopotentiometric studies showed signals attributed to the presence of three oxidation states of indium, i.e. 0, i and iii. The standard potential of the redox couples, as well as the solubility products of indium oxides have been determined, showing that In(iii) ions are completely reduced to monovalent indium by the indium metal according to the reaction: In () + 2 In 3 In () and that In₂O is a strong oxide donor according to the reaction: In₂O(s) 2 In() + O^2- These results have allowed the construction of E-pO2– equilibrium diagrams summarising the properties of In–O compounds. The electrodeposition of indium was uncomplicated at Mo and W electrodes. Very good adherence of liquid indium to the electrode materials was observed, with the formation of Na–In alloys at highly reducing potentials, and there was no evidence of indium dissolution into the melt. Moreover, the voltammograms corresponding to the electrochemical In(iii)/In(i) exchange were well defined. The two electrochemical steps were found to be quasi-reversible, and the values of the kinetic parameters, ko and , for both reactions, as well as the diffusion coefficients, DIn(III) and DIn(I) were calculated.
