The electrochemical properties of fluoride-coated lithium cobalt oxide [LiCoO2] thin films were characterized. Aluminum fluoride [AlF3] and lanthanum fluoride [LaF3] coating layers were fabricated on a pristine LiCoO2 thin film by using a spin-coating process. The AlF3- and LaF3-coated films exhibited a higher rate capability, cyclic performance, and stability at high temperature than the prist...

Photosensitive films incorporating molecular photoacid generators compartmentalized within a silica-surfactant mesophase were prepared by an evaporationinduced self-assembly process. UV-exposure promoted localized acid-catalyzed siloxane condensation, enabling selective etching of unexposed regions, thereby serving as a cresistIess’ technique to prepare patterned mesoporous silica. We also demo...

A novel in-line technique utilising pulsed terahertz radiation for direct measurement of the film coating thickness of individual tablets during the coating process was previously developed and demonstrated on a production-scale coater. Here, we use this technique to monitor the evolution of tablet film coating thickness and its inter-tablet variability during the coating process under a number...

Herein, using the spin-coating process as a sodium pre-deposition technique for Cu(In,Ga)Se2, ultrathin film solar cells is discussed. Throughout this study, several challenges are detected to overcome, such unevenly deposited salt layers and unplanned clusters (even islands) of salts due accumulation. The cell performances with optimal nonoptimal amounts shared assess effect varying on perform...

It is shown that coating graphene-silicon (Gr/Si) Schottky junction based solar cells with graphene oxide (GO) improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the cells, while demonstrating unprecedented device stability. The PCE has been shown to be increased to 10.6% (at incident radiation of 100 mW cm(-2)) for the Gr/Si solar cell with an optimal GO coating thickness compared to 3.6% for a...

Abstract 316L stainless steel is one of the metal biomaterials used in implant applications because it has excellent mechanical strength. To improve biocompatibility and activity metals, a coating on surfaces required. coated with hydroxyapatite using dip technique. Firstly, suspension was prepared by mixing 10 grams hydroxyapatite, 1 gram sago starch, distilled water certain weight which then ...
