Iridium(Ir) coatings were deposited at different constant potentials and characterized by SEM and XRD. The results show that the addition of DMAC can evidently decrease the viscosity of the composite system, increase conductivity and improve electrochemical stability of the composite system. Cyclic voltammograms of a Au electrode illustrate that the process controlled by diffusion rate is irreversible with the average charge transfer coefficient of 0.170 and average diffusion coefficient of 1.096×10-6 cm^2/s. In addition, SEM image shows that Ir film deposited at the reduction peak potential is dense and even, while XRD pattern shows that Ir deposit is polycrystalline structure.展开更多

From July 2003 to June 2004, the total atmospheric N deposition was 70.7 kg N ha-1, with dry deposition accounting for 75% of the total deposition. Dry NH3 deposition accounted for 73% of the dry deposition and 55% of the total deposition. Moreover, NO2 contributed 11% of the dry deposition and 8% of the total deposition. Reduced N compounds (NH4+ and NH3) were the predominate contributors, accounting for 66% of the total deposition. Therefore, atmospheric N deposition should be considered when soil acidification and critical loads of atmospheric deposition on soils are estimated.展开更多

The emitter formation by epitaxial growth offers a cost-efficient and faster alternative to the standard furnace diffusion process. The efficiency potential of epitaxial emitters 〉 22% has already been proven using a single wafer, low pressure, chemical vapour deposition tool. The purpose of this work is to show the potential of epitaxially grown emitters by APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition) compared to diffused emitters. The APCVD formation of epitaxial emitters at 1,050 ~C can be realised as high throughput inline process and only takes 1-2 min, whereas the diffusion process using POCI3 takes up to 60 min. Simulations show an increase in voltage of AVoc = +10 mV and a reduction in saturation current ,1o of 30% for the epitaxial emitter. The lifetime experiments of solar cells with epitaxial emitter exhibit a diffusion length Leff〉 750μm and an emitter saturation current of Joe 〈 50 fA/cm2 on a planar 10 Ω2cm p-type FZ wafer. Another important aim of this work is to evaluate the limitations of epitaxial emitters due to high thermal budget, interface recombination and the change of reflective properties on textured wafers due to the deposition process. Solar cell efficiencies up to 18.4% on p-type and 20.0% on n-type wafers presented in this paper underline that the emitter epitaxy by APCVD is a competitive process for the emitter formation.展开更多

The optimal thermoelectric property ofpoly(Ni-ett) synthesized at 0.6 V is remarkably greater than that of the polymers synthesized at 1 and 1.6 V, exhibiting a maximum power factor of up to 131.6μW/mK2 at 360 K. Furthermore, the structure-property correlation ofpoly(Ni-ett) is also extensively investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses revealed that the larger size of crystalline domains and the higher oxidation state of poly(Ni-ett) synthesized at 0.6 V possibly results in the higher bulk mobility and carrier concentration in the polymer chains, respectively, accounting for the enhanced power factor.展开更多
