Neptunium(III) copper(I) diselenide

Ruthenium(III)-catalysed phenylselenylation of allyl acetates by diphenyl diselenide and indium(I) bromide in neat: isolation and identification of intermediate.

A fast and efficient phenylselenylation of allyl acetates by diphenyl diselenide and indium(I) bromide has been achieved in neat under the catalysis of Ru(acac)(3). The intermediate complex of diphenyl diselenide and indium has been isolated and identified as a polymeric pentacoordinated In(III) selenolate complex, [In(SePh)(3)](n).

Assessing Photovoltaic Performance Using Local Linear Quantile Regression

The power generated by eleven different photovoltaic technologies and meteorological variables, such as irradiance and temperature, were recorded every half-hour at sites in the UK and Spain. These photovoltaic technologies included monocrystalline, multicrystalline and amorphous silicon, copper indium diselenide and cadmium telluride. Local linear quantile regression was used to determine the ...

Laser Scribing: a Key Enabling Technology for Manufacturing of Low Cost Thin Film Photovoltaic Cells

Solar cells are becoming a highly promising alternative energy source for various markets. In the last five years or so a tremendous amount of research effort has been put into increasing the efficiency of solar cell technology and reducing its manufacturing cost. It is believed that success in both of these areas will further propel its use in various markets. The two major structures commerci...

Studies on Chemically Deposited Nonstoichiometric Thin Films of CuInSe2 –a Highly Promising Material for Photosensors

Thin films of copper indium diselenide (CIS) were prepared by chemical bath deposition technique onto glass substrate at 60C. The studies on composition, morphology, optical absorption, electrical conductivity and structure of the films were carried out. Characterization includes X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Energy dispersive x-ray ...
