An unusual processing scheme has been developed for preparing single-phase cadmium stannate (Cd2SnO4 or CTO) films. Cd2SnO4 transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films have several significant advantages over conventional TCOs when applied to CdS/CdTe thin-film devices. They are more conductive, more transparent, have lower surface roughness, are patternable, and are exceptionally stable. Cd2SnO4-...

Using inverse gas chromatography, the added to differential energy of adsorption due to lateral interactions of molecules adsorbed on a heterogeneous solid surface was determined. The method was applied to three gas/solid systems, namely, 1-butene/cadmium sulphide, ethane/calcium oxide, and trans-2-butene/marble. By plotting the dimensionless lateral interaction energy against time t in paralle...

Waste metals in the form of metal oxide (hydroxide) sludges are generated in significant amounts by the metal finishing industries, and their accumulations pose problems for disposal and challenges for recycle. The availability of technically feasible efficient separations of metals such as nickel, cobalt, chromium, cadmium, copper, tin, zinc, lead, manganese, molybdenum, and titanium from plat...

Equilibrium constants of Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanoparticles complexes in human cancer cells with DNA/RNA ligands have been studied with biospectroscopic methods such as 1HNMR, 13CNMR, 31PNMR, Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR–FTIR) and FT–Raman spectroscopies in cosolvent systems at 10, 20, 30°C ± 0.5 and 1 mol.dm–3 ionic strength, was maintained using Sodium Chloride ...

We demonstrate a bilayer photovoltaic device consisting of a heterojunction between colloidal cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) and a wide band gap organic hole-transporting thin film of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-diamine (TPD) molecules. The active light-absorbing film of QDs is nondestructively printed onto TPD using microcontact stamping. Indium-tin-o...

Reactively sputtered nickel oxide (NiOx) films provide transparent, antireflective, electrically conductive, chemically stable coatings that also are highly active electrocatalysts for the oxidation of water to O2(g). These NiOx coatings provide protective layers on a variety of technologically important semiconducting photoanodes, including textured crystalline Si passivated by amorphous silic...

Study was made on the significance of urinary cadmium concentration as an indicator of internal dose in a general environment polluted by cadmium. As an index of external dose, the mean rice cadmium concentration in each of 23 villages was employed. Morning urine samples were collected from 3,178 inhabitants of 23 cadmium-polluted villages of Kakehashi River basin in Ishikawa Prefecture and 294...

The effective removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater is the most important issues for many industrialized countries and it is big challenge for human being. This research focuses on understanding adsorption process and developing a cost effective technology for treatment of heavy metals-contaminated industrial wastewater. In this investigation the Fe2O3 magneti...
