Abstract:

Copper indium gallium selenide/sulfide (CIGS) and copper zinc tin selenide/sulfide (CZTS) are two thin film photovoltaic materials with many similar properties. Therefore, three new processing steps – which are well-known to be beneficial for CIGS solar cell processing – are developed, optimized and implemented in CZTS solar cells. For all these novel processing steps an increase in minority carrier lifetime and cell conversion efficiency is measured, as compared to standard CZTS processing. The scientific explanation of these effects is very similar to its CIGS equivalent: the incorporation of alkali metals, ammonium sulfide surface cleaning, and Al2O3 surface passivation leads to electrical enhancement of the CZTS bulk, front surface and reduced front interface recombination, respectively.

Abstract:

Hydrometallurgical routes of copper recovery from smelted low-grade e-waste are presented. Electronic scrap was smelted to produce Cu–Zn–Ag-Sn alloys of various phase compositions. The alloys were then treated in the following ways: (a) anodic dissolution with simultaneous metal electrodeposition using ammoniacal solutions with various ammonium salts (chloride, carbonate, sulfate). This resulted in the separation of metals, where lead, silver and tin accumulated mainly in the slimes, while copper was transferred to the slime, electrolyte and then recovered on the cathode. (b) leaching in ammoniacal solutions of various compositions and then copper electrowinning. Alloy was leached in chloride, carbonate, sulfate and thiosulfate baths. This resulted in the separation of the metals, wherein copper and zinc were transferred to the electrolyte, while metallic tin and silver as well as lead remained in the slimes. Copper was selectively recovered from the ammoniacal solutions by the electrolysis, leaving zinc ions in the electrolyte. The best conditions of the alloy treatment were obtained, where the final product was copper of high purity (99.9%) at the current efficiency of 60%. Thiosulfate solution was not applicable for the leaching of the copper alloy due to secondary reactions of the formation of copper(I) thiosulfate complexes and precipitation of copper(I) sulfide.

This study is to prepare a thin film of Cu – Zn - Sn - S ( CZTS ) in Corning Eagle2000 glass substrate.By using magnetron sputtering and sulfidization method,The effects of different process parameters such as substrate temperature and annealing temperature on the characteristics of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films were explored. Mo electrode film was firstly DC sputtered as an absorbing layer ohmic contact , then the Cu-Zn-Sn layer was prepared using copper , zinc and tin targets and thus the sulfuration process was used to prepared resultant CZTS film. This process could reduce costs and increase the feasibility of the preparation of large area thin film. From the results of XRD and Raman scattering, the copper-zinc-tin films can convert to the CZTS Kesterite structure. The crystal structure of CuZn and Sn of the sputtered thin film can be obviously improved by elevating substrate temperature, and the crystallinity of the film can also be enhanced. The optimum processing is to deposit CZT film on an unheated substrate under an Ar flow of 20 sccm, and there after annealing at 550 ℃in vacuum for 35 minutes, The crystal structure the CZTS film can be obtained. The carrier concentration of the film is 2.37×1019cm-3,carrier mobility is 8.22 cm2V-1s-1,and the energy gap is about 1.5 eV. The surface roughness of CZTS thin film is 3μm.

The copper zinc tin sulfide (Cu2ZnSnS4, CZTS) has been regarded as solar energy absorber material due to its suitable band gap (~1.5 eV), large absorption coefficient (>10cm), low toxicity and constructed by abundant elements on earth. For the choice of photoelectrode,zinc oxide nanorods array (ZnO NRA) owns one-dimensional characteristics, which has high electron mobility (200 cm/V•s at T=300K) and high light scattering for light harvesting. In addition, ZnO NRA can effectively transport electrons toward the collection electrode to increase the separation of electrons and holes. In this study, hydrothermal process was employed to grow one-dimensional ZnO NRA as photoelectrode of the solar cell. CZTS nanomaterials were coated on the surfaces of ZnO NRA as light harvesting materials for the inversed thin film solar cells. In the study, the lengths of ZnO NRA and spin coating speeds were used as parameters to find the optimal conditions for this type thin film solar cells. Firstly, the optimal amount of CZTS precursor solution around 1.0 mL for ZnO NRA with 350 nm, the power conversion efficiency (PEC) could improve from 0.039 % to 0.445 %. In the next, studing the influence of the length of ZnO NRA on the performance of solar cells. When CZTS light harvesting materials covered uniformly on the surfaces of ZnO NRAs from top to bottom, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) can improve from 2.20 mAcm-2 to 3.38 mAcm-2 and PCE can be enhanced to 0.991 %. In addition, we also observed that although increasing the length of ZnO NRA could effectively increase the pn junction area to improve the Jsc of 3.67 mAcm-2; however, the PCE would decrease to 0.635% if the amount of CZTS precursor solution was too less to form an optimal thickness of overlayer on the top of ZnO NRA.

Copper tin sulfide (CTS) is one of promising photocathode materials for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, because it has a suitable band structure and large absorption coefficient (over 104 cm-1). In this work, CTS was grown onto fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass by a solvothermal method without annealing. According to scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), CTS particle size is around 800 to 1000 nm and consist of nanocrystal and amorphous phase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) show the elemental valences are Cu+、Sn4+ and S2-. Combined with X-ray diffraction (XRD)、Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) both Cu2SnS3 and Cu4SnS4 exist in material. The band gap is 1.38 eV measured by UV-Vis spectrometer, and band structure was defined by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) . The onset potential of CTS is 0.15 V ( vs reversible hydrogen electrode, VRHE) and the photocurrent is 0.105 mA/cm2 at the theoretical hydrogen production potential (0 VRHE). After using Titanium dioxide and nickel as buffer layer and catalyst, onset potential is still at 0.2 VRHE and the photocurrent increase to 0.354 mA/cm2, which is three times higher than bare CTS.

Abstract:

Myanmar is richly endowed in natural resources that include tin, tungsten, copper, gold, zinc, lead, nickel, and silver, as well as gemstones. The material covered over a nine-day field trip explores the country’s complex geology, which reflects a collisional history stretching from the Late Triassic to at least Miocene, sited at the eastern end of the India-Asia suture. The country can be divided into three principal metallotects: the Wuntho-Popa magmatic arc, with granites and associated porphyry-type and epithermal Cu-Au mineralization; the Slate Belt (also called the Mogok-Mandalay-Mergui Belt), with multiple precollisional I-type and postcollisional S-type crustal melt granites that host significant tin-tungsten mineralization, and which also are host to a number of orogenic gold deposits; and the Shan Plateau with massive sulfide-type and also MVT-style lead-zinc-silver deposits.

Abstract:

Metals are fundamental components of modern society worldwide, and, despite the current economic downturn, we know we will be faced with ever increasing demands and ever-shrinking supplies. Efforts to achieve sustainable supplies of minerals must include efforts to expand the supply. About 60% of the ocean surface consists of the ocean floor, so it is reasonable to expect that deep ocean minerals could contribute significantly to the world supply. Human efforts to recover minerals have thus far concentrated almost exclusively on land-based resources, so it is reasonable to postulate that marine minerals might offer better prospects for future mineral supplies than land prospects. Currently, we know of at least six separate categories of marine minerals: 1. Aggegrate sand and gravel deposits; 2. Placer deposits of relatively high value minerals (gold, diamonds, tin, etc) hosted in aggegrates; 3. Biogenically derived phosphate deposits; 4. Sediment-hosted (manganese nodules) and hard-rock hosted (ferromanganese crusts) ferromanganese oxide deposits; 5. Sediment-hosted methane hydrate deposits; and 6. Hydrothermally derived sulfide deposits of copper, gold, nickel, zinc, and other metals. Thanks primarily to the engineering developments made by the offshore oil industry and the computer-science advances that have revolutionized much of modern society, the technology is in place for most of the tasks of deep seabed mining. The objective here is not to provide a general status update regarding marine minerals technology, but simply to demonstrate, using the best example available to date (the Nautilus Minerals venture in the Territorial Waters of Papua New Guinea) that the technology is in place and ready to go. Development of marine minerals has both the curse and blessing of taking place in the ocean. Since the 1970’s and before, the marine environment has taken on a public aura reserved more commonly for religious beliefs. This aura poses substantial obstacles to any marine development efforts. At the same time, a basic advantage of marine mineral developments is that nobody lives there. Thus, marine mining activities will not conflict with most normal human activities. Marine mining proposals should be subjected to thorough impact assessment analysis, but it is also critical that policymakers take steps to provide a level playing field for marine developments that encourages objective comparisons with alternative land-based proposals for supplying needed mineral resources. Governments should foster reasonable access to the marine mineral resources under their jurisdiction while also supporting incentive policies and related research programs.

Abstract:

This paper presents fabrication of copper indium gallium di-selenide (CIGS) solar cells using all solution-based deposition processes. CIGS nanoparticles were synthesized through multi-step chemical process using copper chloride, indium chloride, gallium chloride, and selenium in oleyamine. CIGS thin films were constructed through layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly and spray-coating techniques. Chemical-bath-deposition and spray-coating methods were used for cadmium sulfide and zinc oxide film depositions, respectively. Initial thin film solar cell devices exhibited promising 0.3 mA short circuit current and 200 mV open circuit voltage. The solar cells fabricated through the all solution-based processes are cost-effective, thus, have potentials of providing a viable, renewable and sustainable energy source. The proposed processes can further be realized on flexible substrates, which may broaden the applications range for the solar cells.

In this work, a thin film stretchable sensor is constructed through a simple manufacturing technique. The sensor comprises a thin functional layer of copper-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Cu) as a light emitter and a thin perovskite layer as a light absorber. The perovskite layer is constructed on a thin layer of poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), which is developed on a stretchable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate. Atop the thin perovskite lies a thin eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) layer acting as an electrode. The simple selfpowered stretchable sensor allows easy fabrication and is a non-complex sensor architecture. Here, ZnS:Cu emits lights and perovskite immediately absorbs the light and converts it to electrical current. The output current of the sensor increases with an increase of applied strain. The self-powered sensor may find many applications in foot ulcer detection, prosthetic/artificial electronic skins, touchpad, and structural health monitoring of large composite structures.
