Composite nanoarchitectures represent a class of nanostructured entities that integrates various dissimilar nanoscale building blocks including nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanofilms toward realizing multifunctional characteristics. A broad array of composite nanoarchitectures can be designed and fabricated, involving generic materials such as metal, ceramics, and polymers in nanoscale form. I...

The reaction of 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridine, picolinic acid and stannic chloride yields the title salt, (C(7)H(11)N(2))[SnCl(4)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))], in which the Sn(IV) atom is N,O-chelated by the picolinate ion in a cis-SnNOCl(4) octa-hedral geometry. The cation is linked to the anion by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

In the title salt, (C(11)H(10)NO(2))[SnCl(4)(C(10)H(6)NO(2))]·CH(3)OH, the Sn atom is chelated by the quinolincarboxyl-ate unit and it exists in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The cation is linked to the solvent mol-ecule by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond; the solvent mol-ecule is linked to the anion by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

Development of ternary metal oxide (TMO) based electron transporting layer (ETL) for perovskite solar cell open a new approaches toward efficient a unique strategy for solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSSCs). In the present investigation, highly porous zinc tin oxide (Zn2SnO4) scaffold nanofibers has been synthesized by electrospinning technique and successfully used for methyl ammoniu...

Optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) is usually applied as a biosensor system to the sorption-desorption of proteins to waveguide surfaces. Here, we show that OWLS can be used to monitor the quality of oxide thin film materials and of coatings of pulsed laser deposition synthesized CdSe quantum dots (QDs) intended for solar energy applications. In addition to changes in data treatmen...

The subsolidus phase relationships in the ZnO–InO1.5–SnO2 system were investigated at 12751C using X-ray diffraction. Each of the end members of the ternary diagram is a transparent conducting oxide. There are two substantial solid solutions in the ternary phase space, the bixbyite solid solution In2 2xZnxSnxO3 (x5 0–0.40), and the indium substituted zinc stannate spinel, Zn(2 x)Sn(1 x)In2xO4 (...

Reaction of 2 equiv. of the lithium carboranylamidinate Li[o-(C2H10B10)C(NCy)(NHCy)] with SnCl2 in THF afforded the stannylene compound bis(N,N'-dicyclohexylamidinatocarboranate)tin(II), SnII[o-(C2H10B10)C(NCy)(NHCy)]2 (1). A similar reaction of SnCl4 with 2 equiv. of Li[o-(C2H10B10)C(N i Pr)(NH i Pr)] unexpectedly afforded the known solvated penta-chlorido-stannate(IV) salt [Li(THF)4][SnCl5(TH...

Two dimensional (2D)SnO2 nanosheets were synthesized by a substrate-free hydrothermal route using sodium stannate and sodium hydroxide in a mixed solvent of absolute ethanol and deionized water at a lower temperature of 130 °C. The characterization results of the morphology, microstructure, and surface properties of the as-prepared products demonstrated that SnO2 nanosheets with a tetragonal ru...

Background: This study investigated the effects of estradiol on plasma calcium and prolactin cells of Heteropneustes fossilis kept in calcium-deficient and normal freshwater. Methods: Fish were deprived of food and divided into groups A-D. Group A and B were kept in artificial freshwater with normal electrolytes. Group C and D were maintained in calcium-deficient freshwater. Vehicle was admin...
