Tin-antimony sulfide nanocomposites were prepared via hydrothermal synthesis and a N2 reduction process for use as negative electrode in sodium ion battery. The electrochemical energy storage performance of the battery was analyzed according to tin-antimony composition. optimized sulfides exhibited superior charge/discharge capacity (770 mAh g-1 at current density 100 mA g-1) stable lifespan ch...

Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin films were deposited from homogeneous solutions of precursors and directly onto conductive films via selective thermolysis by microwave heating. Microwave energy is absorbed strongly by conductive films, which enables preferential heating to a sufficiently high temperature for the deposition of CZTS exclusively on the conductive layer without homogeneous nucl...

Decoration of tetrelchalcogenide T-E clusters with chelating donor ligands was achieved to capture transition metal ions on their surfaces. We demonstrate that by covalent linking of bispyridyl ligands to an Sn-S complex, [ZnX](+) units can be trapped and incorporated into the cluster framework. Intermediates that were identified using spectroscopy and/or X-ray diffraction gave insight into the...

The possibility of using a thermomorphic polymer with phosphine group as collecting reagent for the selective concentration tin during flotation enrichment sulfide-tin tails was first investigated in work. A detailed description experimental scheme ore tailings and mode are given. main mineral is cassiterite, highly brittle inclined to sludging, which leads large losses tails; granulometric com...

Two PcSn(IV) dicarboxylate molecules were obtained through efficient microwave methodology with the aim to test them as corrosion inhibitors in the oil industry. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, (1)H, (13)C NMR, and X-ray diffraction. The relative configuration of the two carboxylates is cis, placing the fatty acid moieties on the same face of the phthalocyani...

Tin sulfide is being widely investigated as an earth-abundant light harvesting material, but recorded efficiencies for SnS fall far below theoretical limits. We describe the synthesis and characterization of the single-crystal tin sulfides (SnS, SnS2, and Sn2S3) through chemical vapor transport, and combine electronic structure calculations with time-resolved microwave conductivity measurements...
