A solution-processable copper(ii) phthalocyanine derivative CuPc-TIPS has been explored as a dopant-free hole-transporting material in carbon counter electrode-based perovskite solar cells.
A series of ZSM-5 zeolites were prepared through a chemical liquid deposition (CLD) method and used for adsorption removal of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) from methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). The structural properties and acidity were characterized, and the proper deposition amount and calcination temperature have been accessed. N 2 adsorption test and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that methylsilicone oil is deposited on the external surface and narrows the pore size of the zeolite. NH 3 -temperature-programmed desorption (NH 3 -TPD) and modified Hammett indicator titration results indicate that the acid sites on the external surface are eliminated while acid sites in the channel are not influenced significantly. Both the pore structure and acidity play important roles in determining the sulfide adsorption process. The optimal modification condition was found as a deposition amount of 30% and a calcination temperature of 500 °C. Adsorption isotherms were also conducted in both parent and CLD-modified ZSM-5 adsorbents. The DMDS adsorption capacity of CLD-modified adsorbent is 8.24 mg/g, which is almost 6 times higher than that of the parent ZSM-5 sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
