The synthesis of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (NPs) and the functionalization by means of a silane derivative (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS) as a way for heavy metal capture, i.e., Pb 2+ ions, has been investigated. A direct reaction between the active thiol organosilane molecule and the surface of the magnetite nanoparticle...

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGSe) thin-film solar cells are a commercial photovoltaic technology that provides sustainable power. Herein, the formation of Zn1−xSnxOy (ZTO) thin films is studied as Cd-free buffer layer by chemical bath deposition (CBD) suitable for CIGSe solar cell devices. ZTO films are obtained by CBD onto soda lime glass, by modifying a...
