Controlling the infrared optical properties of rf-sputtered NiO films for applications of infrared window

In this paper, we will focus on an IR transmittance enhancement technique from the window material point of view by using metal oxides, especially nickel oxide (NiO). At first, anti-reflection (AR) coatings were modeled by using the optical properties of NiO films. The transmittance of the model was predicted using Swanepoel’s model and verified with NiO film prepared by rf magnetron sputtering. Also, post-deposition annealing was performed and was found to change the optical properties of the NiO film. Therefore, we analyzed the annealing effect on the IR optical properties of the NiO film. Furthermore, we confirmed the durability of the NiO film and verified the possibility of this material being used in infrared optics.     

Nano-composite LiMnPO4 as new insertion electrode for electrochemical supercapacitors

Nano-composite olivine LiMnPO₄ (nC-LMP) was found to exhibit facile pseudo-capacitive characteristics in aqueous as well as non-aqueous electrolytes. We demonstrated employing nC-LMP as positive electrode in hybrid electrochemical capacitors namely Li-Ion hybrid capacitors (LIC). Adapting a simple CVD technique, nano-crystallites of LiMnPO₄ were coated with carbon monolayers of ∼2 nm thick to circumvent its poor intrinsic electronic conductivity. The novelty is that the single crystallites were intimately covered with carbon ring and networked to the neighboring crystallites via the continuous carbon wire-like connectivity as revealed from HRTEM analysis. Single electrode faradic capacitance of 3025 Fg⁻¹ (versus standard calomel reference electrode) was deduced for carbon coated LMP, the highest reported hitherto in Li⁺ aqueous electrolytes. Employing nC-LMP as working electrode versus an activated carbon (AC), we obtained a high specific energy of 28.8 Wh kg⁻¹ with appreciable stability in aqueous electrolytes whereas in nonaqueous electrolyte there is an obvious increase in energy density (35 Wh kg⁻¹) due to wider potential window. That is, a full cell version of LIC, AC|Li⁺|LMP, was fabricated and demonstrated its facile cycling characteristics via removal/insertion of Li⁺ within nC-LMP (positive electrode) and the electrosorption of Li⁺ into mesoporous carbon (AC) (negative electrode). Such cells ensured a typical battery-like charging and EDLC-like discharging characteristics of LIC type electrochemical capacitors (ECs) which are desired to enhance safety and energy densities.     

Electrical and optical properties of Si-doped indium tin oxides as transparent electrode and anti-reflection coating for solar cells

We have studied the electrical and optical properties of Si-doped indium tin oxides (ITSOs) as transparent electrodes and anti-reflection coatings for Si-based solar cells. The ITSO thin films were obtained by co-sputtering of ITO and SiO₂ targets under target power control. The resistivity of the ITSO thin films deposited at 0.625 in terms of power ratio (ITO/SiO₂) were 391 Ωcm. In this condition, the ITSO thin films showed very high resistivity compared to sputted pure ITO thin films (1.08 × 10⁻³ Ωcm). However, refractive index of ITSO thin films deposited at the same condition at 500 nm is somewhat lowered to 1.97 compared to ITO thin films (2.06). The fabricated graded refractive index AR coatings using ITO, ITSO, and SiO₂ thin films kept over 80% of transmittance regardless of their thickness varing from 97 nm to 1196 nm because of their low extinction coefficient. As the AR coating with graded refractive indices using ITO, ITSO, and SiO₂ layers was applied to general silicon-based solar cell, the current level increased nearly twice more than that of bare silicon solar cell without AR coating.

Study of the fire resistant behavior of unfilled and carbon nanofibers reinforced polybenzimidazole coating for structural applications

With increasing interest in epoxy‐based carbon fiber composites for structural applications, it is important to improve the fire resistant properties of these materials. The fire resistant performance of these materials can be improved either by using high performance epoxy resin for manufacturing carbon fiber composite or by protecting the previously used epoxy‐based composite with some fire resistant coating. In this context, work is carried out to evaluate the fire resistance performance of recently emerged high performance polybenzimidazole (PBI) when used as a coating material. Furthermore, the effect of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on fire resistant properties of inherently flame retardant PBI coating was studied. Thermogravimetric analysis of carbon/epoxy composite, unfilled PBI and nano‐filled PBI shows that the carbon/epoxy composite maintained its thermal stability up to a temperature of 400°C and afterwards showed a large decrease in mass, while both unfilled PBI and nano‐filled PBI have shown thermal stability up to a temperature of 575°C corresponding to only 11% weight loss. Cone calorimeter test results show that unfilled PBI coating did not improve the fire retardant performance of carbon/epoxy composite. Conversely, nano‐filled PBI coating has shown a significant improvement in fire retardant performance of the carbon/epoxy composite in terms of increased ignition time, reduced average and peak heat release rate and reduced smoke and carbon monoxide emission. These results indicate that addition of carbon nanofibers to inherently flame retardant coating can significantly be helpful for improving the fire resistance performance of composite materials even with low coating thickness.

Capillary zone electrophoresis of proteins applying ionic liquids for dynamic coating and as background electrolyte component

The use of ionic liquids in capillary electrophoresis, either as coating material or as components of the background electrolyte needs systematic standardization to set up optimal conditions. Excellent separation of the proteins was achieved using 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([emim][BF₄]) or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF₄]) ionic liquids using the properly made ionic-liquid–water binary mixtures for the experiments. The binary mixture has a distinctly stable and well perceptible low pH, which depends on the concentration of the ionic liquid, and on the preparation time of the mixture. Optimal conditions for the electrophoretic separation were obtained upon a multivariate analysis of the experimental parameters (applied voltage, migration time, concentration, and type of the ionic liquid). The standardized condition provides a low electroendosmotic flow toward the anode, which, however, did not hinder the proteins to migrate toward the cathode. The migration of cytochrome c, lysozyme, myoglobin, trypsin, and apo-transferrin at a pH around 2, far below the isoelectric points of the proteins, showed RSD values of the migration times less than 7.5% and less than 6.5% when using [emim][BF₄] or [bmim][BF₄], respectively, either in run-to-run or day-to-day experiments. The determination of the extent of the EOF is not possible with the commonly used EOF markers, due to interaction with the ionic-liquid constituents. The interaction of the ionic liquids with the proteins influences the migration order in zone electrophoresis. This method has been applied successfully for the analyses of real biological samples such as proteins from egg whites and human tears.
