Silver indium diphosphate, AgInP(2)O(7).

ABSTRACT: Polycrystalline material of the title compound, AgInP(2)O(7), was synthesized by traditional high-temperature solid-state methods and single crystals were grown from the melt of a mixture of AgInP(2)O(7) and B(2)O(3) as flux in a platinium crucible. The structure consists of InO(6) octa-hedra, which are corner-shared to PO(4) tetra-hedra into a three-dimensional network with hexa-gonal channels running parallel to the c axis. The silver cation, located in the channel, is bonded to seven O atoms of the [InP(2)O(7)] framework with Ag-O distances ranging from 2.370?(2) to 3.015?(2)?Å. The P(2)O(7) diphosphate anion is characterized by a P-O-P angle of 137.27?(9) and a nearly eclipsed conformation. AgInP(2)O(7) is isotypic with the M(I)FeP(2)O(7) (M(I) = Na, K, Rb, Cs and Ag) diphosphate family.

A mixed indium-iron lithium diphosphate, In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7).

Project description:The structure of In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7) consists of a three-dimensional network constructed from (In(III)/Fe(III))O(6) octa-hedra and P(2)O(7) groups. Each M(III)O(6) octa-hedron is linked to six PO(4) tetra-hedra belonging to five different P(2)O(7) groups and shares two corners with the same P(2)O(7) group so as to build infinite chains or rather parallel colums of [M(III)P(2)O(11)] running along the a axis. The linkage between these chains or columns defines hepta-gonal tunnels parallel to [100] in which the Li(+) ions are located in off-centred positions. The In(0.51)Fe(0.49)LiP(2)O(7) compound can be regarded as one composition of the continuous solid solution between LiFeP(2)O(7) and LiInP(2)O(7) whose structure is isotypic with the A(I)FeP(2)O(7) (A(I) = Na, K, Rb, Cs and Ag) diphosphate family.

Silver Vanadium Diphosphate Ag2VP2O8: Electrochemistry and Characterization of Reduced Material providing Mechanistic Insights.

Project description:Silver vanadium phosphorous oxides (AgwVxPyOz) are notable battery cathode materials due to their high energy density and demonstrated ability to form in-situ Ag metal nanostructured electrically conductive networks within the cathode. While analogous silver vanadium diphosphate materials have been prepared, electrochemical evaluations of these diphosphate based materials have been limited. We report here the first electrochemical study of a silver vanadium diphosphate, Ag2VP2O8, where the structural differences associated with phosphorous oxides versus diphosphates profoundly affect the associated electrochemistry. Reminiscent of Ag2VO2PO4 reduction, in-situ formation of silver metal nanoparticles was observed with reduction of Ag2VP2O8. However, counter to Ag2VO2PO4 reduction, Ag2VP2O8 demonstrates a significant decrease in conductivity upon continued electrochemical reduction. Structural analysis contrasting the crystallography of the parent Ag2VP2O8 with that of the proposed Li2VP2O8 reduction product is employed to gain insight into the observed electrochemical reduction behavior, where the structural rigidity associated with the diphosphate anion may be associated with the observed particle fracturing upon deep electrochemical reduction. Further, the diphosphate anion structure may be associated with the high thermal stability of the partially reduced Ag2VP2O8 materials, which bodes well for enhanced safety of batteries incorporating this material.

Indium Tin Oxide-Free Inverted Organic Photovoltaics Using Laser-Induced Forward Transfer Silver Nanoparticle Embedded Metal Grids.

Project description:Laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) printing has emerged as a valid digital printing technique capable of transferring and printing a wide range of electronic materials. In this paper, we present for the first time LIFT printing as a method to fabricate silver (Ag) nanoparticle (np) grids for the development of indium tin oxide (ITO)-free inverted PM6:Y6 nonfullerene acceptor organic photovoltaics (OPVs). Limitations of the direct use of LIFT-printed Ag np grids in inverted ITO-free OPVs are addressed through a Ag grid embedding process. The embedded laser-printed Ag grid lines have high electrical conductivity, while the Ag metal grid transparency is varied by altering the number of Ag grid lines within the inverted OPVs' ITO-free bottom electrode. Following the presented Ag-grid embedding (EMP) process, metal-grid design optimizations, and device engineering methods incorporating an EMB-nine-line Ag np grid/PH500/AI4083/ZnO bottom electrode, we have demonstrated inverted ITO-free OPVs incorporating laser-printed Ag grids with 11.0% power conversion efficiency.

Synthesis and Characterization of Indium Tin Oxide Nanowires with Surface Modification of Silver Nanoparticles by Electrochemical Method.

Project description:In this study, indium tin oxide nanowires (ITO NWs) with high density and crystallinity were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) via a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) route; the NWs were decorated with 1 at% and 3 at% silver nanoparticles on the surface by a unique electrochemical method. The ITO NWs possessed great morphologies with lengths of 5~10 μm and an average diameter of 58.1 nm. Characterization was conducted through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) to identify the structure and composition of the ITO NWs. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) studies show that the ITO NWs were of visible light-emitting properties, and there were a large number of oxygen vacancies on the surface. The successful modification of Ag was confirmed by TEM, XRD and XPS. PL analysis reveals that there was an extra Ag signal at around 1.895 eV, indicating the potential application of Ag-ITO NWs as nanoscale optical materials. Electrical measurements show that more Ag nanoparticles on the surface of ITO NWs contributed to higher resistivity, demonstrating the change in the electron transmission channel of the Ag-ITO NWs. ITO NWs and Ag-ITO NWs are expected to enhance the performance of electronic and optoelectronic devices.

Performance-Enhanced Textured Silicon Solar Cells Based on Plasmonic Light Scattering Using Silver and Indium Nanoparticles.

Project description:Performances of textured crystalline-silicon (c-Si) solar cells enhanced by silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and indium nanoparticles (In-NPs) plasmonic effects are experimentally demonstrated and compared. Plasmonic nanoparticles integrated into textured c-Si solar cells can further increase the absorption and enhance the short-circuit current density (Jsc) of the solar cell. To examine the profile of the proposed metallic particles, the average diameter and coverage of the In-NPs (Ag-NPs) at 17.7 nm (19.07 nm) and 30.5% (35.1%), respectively, were obtained using scanning electron microscopy. Optical reflectance and external quantum efficiency response were used to measure plasmonic light scattering at various wavelengths. Compared to a bare reference cell, the application of In-NPs increased the Jsc of the cells by 8.64% (from 30.32 to 32.94 mA/cm²), whereas the application of Ag-NPs led to an increase of 4.71% (from 30.32 to 31.75 mA/cm²). The conversion efficiency of cells with embedded In-NPs (14.85%) exceeded that of cells with embedded Ag-NPs (14.32%), which can be attributed to the broadband plasmonic light scattering of the In-NPs.

Indium lung disease.

Project description:BackgroundReports of pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and, more recently, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) in indium workers suggested that workplace exposure to indium compounds caused several different lung diseases.MethodsTo better understand the pathogenesis and natural history of indium lung disease, a detailed, systematic, multidisciplinary analysis of clinical, histopathologic, radiologic, and epidemiologic data for all reported cases and workplaces was undertaken.ResultsTen men (median age, 35 years) who produced, used, or reclaimed indium compounds were diagnosed with interstitial lung disease 4-13 years after first exposure (n = 7) or PAP 1-2 years after first exposure (n = 3). Common pulmonary histopathologic features in these patients included intraalveolar exudate typical of alveolar proteinosis (n = 9), cholesterol clefts and granulomas (n = 10), and fibrosis (n = 9). Two patients with interstitial lung disease had pneumothoraces. Lung disease progressed following cessation of exposure in most patients and was fatal in two. Radiographic data revealed that two patients with PAP subsequently developed fibrosis and one also developed emphysematous changes. Epidemiologic investigations demonstrated the potential for exposure to respirable particles and an excess of lung abnormalities among coworkers.ConclusionsOccupational exposure to indium compounds was associated with PAP, cholesterol ester crystals and granulomas, pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and pneumothoraces. The available evidence suggests exposure to indium compounds causes a novel lung disease that may begin with PAP and progress to include fibrosis and emphysema, and, in some cases, premature death. Prospective studies are needed to better define the natural history and prognosis of this emerging lung disease and identify effective prevention strategies.

Crystal structure of isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase.

Project description:Isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate (IPP:DMAPP) isomerase catalyses a crucial activation step in the isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway. This enzyme is responsible for the isomerization of the carbon-carbon double bond of IPP to create the potent electrophile DMAPP. DMAPP then alkylates other molecules, including IPP, to initiate the extraordinary variety of isoprenoid compounds found in nature. The crystal structures of free and metal-bound Escherichia coli IPP isomerase reveal critical active site features underlying its catalytic mechanism. The enzyme requires one Mn(2+) or Mg(2+) ion to fold in its active conformation, forming a distorted octahedral metal coordination site composed of three histidines and two glutamates and located in the active site. Two critical residues, C67 and E116, face each other within the active site, close to the metal-binding site. The structures are compatible with a mechanism in which the cysteine initiates the reaction by protonating the carbon-carbon double bond, with the antarafacial rearrangement ultimately achieved by one of the glutamates involved in the metal coordination sphere. W161 may stabilize the highly reactive carbocation generated during the reaction through quadrupole- charge interaction.

Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase. Mechanism-based inhibition by diene analogues of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate.

Project description:Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI) catalyzes the interconversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). This is an essential step in the mevalonate entry into the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. The isomerization catalyzed by type I IDI involves protonation of the carbon-carbon double bond in IPP or DMAPP to form a tertiary carbocation, followed by deprotonation. Diene analogues for DMAPP (E-2-OPP and Z-2-OPP) and IPP (4-OPP) were synthesized and found to be potent active-site-directed irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme. X-ray analysis of the E.I complex between Escherichia coli IDI and 4-OPP reveals the presence of two isomers that differ in the stereochemistry of the newly formed C3-C4 double bond in the hydrocarbon chain of the inhibitor. In both adducts C5 of the inhibitor is joined to the sulfur of C67. In these structures the methyl group formed upon protonation of the diene moiety in 4-OPP is located near E116, implicating that residue in the protonation step.

Sodium enhances indium-gallium interdiffusion in copper indium gallium diselenide photovoltaic absorbers.

Project description:Copper indium gallium diselenide-based technology provides the most efficient solar energy conversion among all thin-film photovoltaic devices. This is possible due to engineered gallium depth gradients and alkali extrinsic doping. Sodium is well known to impede interdiffusion of indium and gallium in polycrystalline Cu(In,Ga)Se2 films, thus influencing the gallium depth distribution. Here, however, sodium is shown to have the opposite effect in monocrystalline gallium-free CuInSe2 grown on GaAs substrates. Gallium in-diffusion from the substrates is enhanced when sodium is incorporated into the film, leading to Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and Cu(In,Ga)3Se5 phase formation. These results show that sodium does not decrease per se indium and gallium interdiffusion. Instead, it is suggested that sodium promotes indium and gallium intragrain diffusion, while it hinders intergrain diffusion by segregating at grain boundaries. The deeper understanding of dopant-mediated atomic diffusion mechanisms should lead to more effective chemical and electrical passivation strategies, and more efficient solar cells.

Activation of polyisoprenyl diphosphate phosphatase 1 remodels cellular presqualene diphosphate.

Project description:Polyisoprenyl diphosphates play diverse and vital roles in cell function in health and disease. The counter-regulatory lipid signaling molecule, presqualene diphosphate (PSDP), is rapidly converted to its monophosphate form (PSMP) upon cell activation [Levy, B. D., Petasis, N. A., and Serhan, C. N. (1997) Nature 389, 985-990]. The first PSDP phosphatase was recently identified and named polyisoprenyl diphosphate phosphatase 1 (PDP1) [Fukunaga, K., et al. (2006) J. Biol. Chem. 281, 9490-9497]. Here, we present evidence that PDP1 displays properties of a lipid phosphate phosphatase/phosphotransferase with distinct substrate preference for PSDP. Cell activation with PMA increased PSDP phosphatase activity in a concentration-dependent manner, and Western analysis suggested that PDP1 is directly phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Cellular PSDP phosphatase activity was also induced by the receptor-mediated agonists insulin and TNF-alpha. To address PDP1's contribution to cellular PSDP phosphatase activity, HEK293 cells were established that stably expressed PDP1 siRNA, leading to a 60% decrease in the level of PDP1 RNA, and concomitant decreases in PDP1 protein and PMA-initiated PSDP phosphatase activity. HEK293 cells harboring the PDP1 siRNA construct also displayed a marked decrease in the extent of PMA-initiated conversion of cellular PSDP to PSMP. Together, these findings are the first to indicate that PDP1 is activated during cell responses to soluble stimuli to convert PSDP to PSMP. Moreover, they provide evidence that PDP1 can serve as a new checkpoint for polyisoprenyl phosphate remodeling during cell activation.
