The selective retention of the Sb(III) chelate with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) on a column of Chromosorb 102 resin from a buffered sample solution including Sb(V) was used for the determination of Sb(III). The retained antimony was eluted with acetone. The retention of the Sb(III)-iodide compounds with sodium iodide on the Chromosorb 102 resin column from the same solution afte...

Smooth and compact Pb5Sb8S17 and Pb9Sb8S21 thin films were synthesized via sulfurization of unique layered precursor films of amorphous (Sb,S) and crystalline PbS; our syntheses suggest that these plagionite group phases are metastable and indicate that their formation does not require hydrogen incorporation.

Antimony sulfide selenide thin film solar cells have drawn great interest in the field of photovoltaic due to their advantages simple preparation method, abundant raw materials, non-toxic and stable photoelectric properties. After development recent years, conversion efficiency antimony has exceeded 10%, which potential. In this work, carrier recombination near n/i interface is studied. It foun...

The gravimetric analysis of antimony(III) with oxine (8-quinolinol, Hox) was studied. The amount of antimony left in filtrate and washing solutions was corrected with the results of atomic absorption spectrometry. The weighing form, which had not been conclusive before the present study, was determined to be SbO(ox)(Hox)2. The result (purity of antimony(II) oxide: 99.84 +/- 0.05% (m/m)) of the ...

A sensitive atomic spectrometric method for the redox speciation analysis of antimony in soils is described. The method is based on the selective generation of stibine from Sb(III) in a continuous flow system using atomic fluorescence spectrometry for detection. Sb(V) is masked by citric or oxalic acid in HCl medium. The procedure was optimized with synthetic solutions of Sb(III) and Sb(V). The...

Nano/micro-plastics pollution is an emerging global concern. A variety of biodegradable polymers have been synthesized to enhance the degradation plastic materials and thereby avoid their accumulation in environment. However, even can accumulate environments under specific conditions present a potential hazard. Here, antimony sulfide-based microrobots decorated with magnetite nanoparticles are ...

Metallic sulfide anodes show great promise for sodium-ion batteries due to their high theoretic capacities. However, practical application is greatly hampered by poor electrochemical performance because of the large volume expansion sulfides and sluggish kinetics Na+ ions. Herein, a porous bimetallic SnS/Sb2S3 heterostructure constructed that encapsulated in sulfur nitrogen codoped carbon matri...

Elemental antimony occurs in the solid bulk in a metallic as well as an amorphous modification.[1] Over a wide temperature range the gas phase of elemental antimony comprises almost exclusively of tetrameric molecules;[2] however, a solid-state modification of antimony consisting of Sb4 molecules, comparable to white phosphorus and yellow arsenic, is not known to date. This is explained by the ...

In a previous paper of this series (1) we have shown that while the dilution curve for cod liver oil with antimony trichloride is not a linear function, a comparison can be made between the colorimetric assay of vitamin A in certain fish oils, with a chloroform solution of antimony trichloride, and the biological assay upon the same oils, when certain precautions are taken. In a second paper (2...
