Abstract:
Methods according to the prior art always require a sintering step at an increased temperature, and this is considered problematic. It is additionally problematic that flexible thin layers, particularly PV layers, are frequently unable to withstand such temperatures and moreover do not allow exploitation of industrial waste heat and/or long-wave photons. This problem can be solved using a method in which, during the curing process, an additional reaction accelerates and improves curing. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a double layer sequence having a plastic matrix in which continuous metal particles and, in the upper layer, alkaline-solubilised siloxane portions and metal particles are provided, allows, by means of combined definitive curing during the alkaline-solubilisation, the production of a PV layer sequence with which industrial waste heat/ long-wave IR radiation can be utilised photovoltaically. The active exploitation of industrial waste heat/ heat/ body heat offers clear, financially-viable advantages in a great number of fields.

Abstract:
A method of preparing metal oxide nanoparticles is described herein. The method involves reacting nanoparticle precursors in the presence of a population of molecular cluster compounds. The molecular cluster compound may or may not contain the same metal as will be present in the metal oxide nanoparticle. Likewise, the molecular cluster compound may or may not contain oxygen. The molecular cluster compounds acts a seeds or templates upon which nanoparticle growth is initiated. As the molecular cluster compounds are all identical, the identical nucleation sites result in highly monodisperse populations of metal oxide nanoparticles.
