Electrical conductivity and optical properties of ZnO nanostructured thin film

The electrical conductivity, structural and optical properties of ZnO nanostructured semiconductor thin film prepared by sol-gel spin coating method have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction result indicates that the ZnO film has the polycrystalline nature with average grain size of 28 nm. The optical transmittance spectrum indicates the average transmittance higher than 90% in visible region. The optical band gap, Urbach energy and optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant) of the film were determined. The electrical conductivity of the film dependence of temperature was measured to identify the dominant conductivity mechanism. The conductivity mechanism of the film is the thermally activated band conduction. The electrical conductivity and optical results revealed that the ZnO film is an n-type nanostructured semiconductor with a direct band gap of about 3.30 eV at room temperature.     

Pathways for Oral and Rectal Delivery of Gold Nanoparticles (1.7 nm) and Gold Nanoclusters into the Colon: Enteric-Coated Capsules and Suppositories

Two ways to deliver ultrasmall gold nanoparticles and gold-bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoclusters to the colon were developed. First, oral administration is possible by incorporation into gelatin capsules that were coated with an enteric polymer. These permit the transfer across the stomach whose acidic environment damages many drugs. The enteric coating dissolves due to the neutral pH of the colon and releases the capsule’s cargo. Second, rectal administration is possible by incorporation into hard-fat suppositories that melt in the colon and then release the nanocarriers. The feasibility of the two concepts was demonstrated by in-vitro release studies and cell culture studies that showed the easy redispersibility after dissolution of the respective transport system. This clears a pathway for therapeutic applications of drug-loaded nanoparticles to address colon diseases, such as chronic inflammation and cancer.     

ZrO2 coating of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials for Li-ion batteries

ZrO₂-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ materials were prepared by hydroxide precipitation. The structure and electrochemical properties of the ZrO₂-coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and charge–discharge tests, indicating that the lattice structure of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ were unchanged after the coating but the cycling stability was improved. As the coating amount increased from 0.0 to 0.5 mol.%, the initial capacity of the coated LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ decreased slightly; however, the cycling stability increased remarkably over the cut-off voltages of 2.5~4.3 V and the capacity retention reached 99.5% after 30 cycles at the coating amount of 0.5 mol.%. ZrO₂ coating also improved the cycling stability of LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ over wider cut-off voltage of 2.5~4.6 V.

Synergetic and Antagonistic Effects of Cadmium on Adsorption of Atrazine on Surficial Sediments

Co-contamination of atrazine(AT) and cadmium(Cd) on the surficial sediments(SSs) and natural suface coating samples(NSCSs) was investigated via thermodynamic adsorption experiments. The results show that surface coatings have a stronger ability to adsorb AT owing to their higher active components compared with surficial sediments. Synergetic and antagonistic effects of Cd on the adsorption of AT were observed. Cd at a lower concentra- tion(≤4.0 mg/L) in the solid/liquid phase enhanced AT adsorption onto the...
