<title>Cerium-containing counter electrodes for transparent electrochromic devices</title>

1997

Films of Me-Ce oxide (Me: Ti, Zr, Sn, W) and of Ni-Ce hydroxide were produced by reactive magnetron co-sputtering. Li intercalation in Me-Ce oxide, and H exchange in Ni-Ce hydroxide, were accomplished electrochemically. Electrochromism was quenched in proportion with the Ce content in Me-Ce oxide. Films of Zr-Ce (and to some extent Ti-Ce) oxide were able to serve as fully transparent counter electrodes, of much interest for transparent electrochromic devices. In Ni-Ce hydroxide, the Ce addition enhanced the capacity for charge exchange.

Giant Crown-Shaped Polytungstate Formed by Self-Assembly of CeIII-Stabilized Dilacunary Keggin Fragments

2010

Single crystals of Na40K6[Ni(H2O)6]3 [K@K7Ce24Ge12W120O456 (OH)12(H2O)64]· 178H2O are synthesized by addition of KCl to a NaOAc/AcOH buffer solution containing Ce(NO3)3, GeO2, Na2WO4, and NiCl2 followed by slow evaporation at room temperature (24% yield).

Protection of iron-based alloys likely to be exposed to corrosive atmospheres

1998

Summary This study examines the influence of temperature on oxidation kinetics of the alloys Z2CT 17 and Z4CN 18-09. A thin layer of aluminium oxide was laid down on these, using chemical, vapor deposition, in order to give improved protection.

Pyridine-Incorporated Dihexylquaterthiophene: A Novel Blue Emitter for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)

2012

The synthesis and characterisation of 2,5-bis(5′-hexyl-[2,2′-bithiophen]-5-yl)pyridine (Th4PY) and its use as a blue emitter in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is reported. Th4PY was synthesised in high yield using a straightforward Suzuki coupling route with commercially available starting materials. As Th4PY is both soluble and has low molecular weight, blue OLEDs were fabricated using both spin-coating and vacuum deposition thin film processing techniques to study the effect of processing on device performance. OLED devices using a spin-coated layer consisting of 4′,4′′-tris(N-carbazolyl)triphenylamine (TCTA) and 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as a …

Mandrel-less fabrication of biomimetic electrospun microfiber wires for tissue engineering applications

2021

This study introduces a novel mandrel-less electrodeposition method and a novel electrode prototypes useful for tissue engineering applications. More specifically, in this study a novel fabrication protocol to electrospun fibers-based chords, with length spanning from 2 cm to virtually no limitations on longitudinal length, is presented. For the first part of this study, Poly(ester urethane) urea (PEUU) was used to fabricate, by electrodeposition technique, continuous microfiber wires with controlled micro-architecture and tunable mechanics. A novel apparatus to process degradable or non-degradable polymers was used. Soft tissue injuries are common in daily clinical and surgical practice. O…

Behavior of Calcium Phosphate–Chitosan–Collagen Composite Coating on AISI 304 for Orthopedic Applications

2022

Calcium phosphate/chitosan/collagen composite coating on AISI 304 stainless steel was investigated. Coatings were realized by galvanic coupling that occurs without an external power supply because it begins with the coupling between two metals with different standard electrochemical potentials. The process consists of the co-deposition of the three components with the calcium phosphate crystals incorporated into the polymeric composite of chitosan and collagen. Physical-chemical characterizations of the samples were executed to evaluate morphology and chemical composition. Morphological analyses have shown that the surface of the stainless steel is covered by the deposit, which has a very r…

Alkylsilyl compounds as enablers of atomic layer deposition: analysis of (Et3Si)3As through the GaAs process

2016

A new chemistry has been developed to deposit GaAs, the quintessential compound semiconductor. The ALD process is based on a dechlorosilylation reaction between GaCl3 and (Et3Si)3As. Characteristic ALD growth was demonstrated, indicating good applicability of the alkylsilyl arsenide precursor. ALD of GaAs produced uniform, amorphous and stoichiometric films with low impurity content. This was done with saturating growth rates and an easily controlled film thickness. Crystallization was achieved by annealing. Even though the growth rate strongly decreased with increasing deposition temperature, good quality film growth was demonstrated at 175 to 200 °C, indicating the presence of an ALD wind…

Contratto di deposito

2021

Il contratto di deposito consente al depositante di trasferire – gratuitamente o verso corrispettivo - ad altri la detenzione di un bene mobile affinché questi sia vincolato a custodirlo per un determinato periodo di tempo, assumendosene gli oneri e rispondendo di eventuali danneggiamenti, come del suo perimento o smarrimento, salva la prova di un agire diligente. Riferibile tipicamente ai soli beni mobili, il tipo del deposito tratteggia comunque un modello di responsabilità che consente ampio margine di applicazione analogica anche a contratti (tipici o atipici) aventi ad oggetto lo scopo di custodia di beni immobili, nonché a fattispecie (atipiche) nelle quali la custodia risulti in real…

Environmental control on granular clinoforms of ancient carbonate shelves

2006

The purpose of this paper is to document the influence of depositional environments on shallow-water, low-relief clinoforms from the description of five ancient carbonate platforms: the Neoproterozoic (Namibia), Middle Jurassic (France), Lower Cretaceous (France), Upper Cretaceous (Oman) and Miocene (Turkey). These examples have been investigated on the basis of field observations. The clinoforms are described with reference to geometric and compositional attributes: declivity, shape, height, sedimentary structures, sediment fabric and components. The results show great variability in stratal geometry, declivity and facies distribution: (1) depositional profiles vary from exponential, to si…
