    摘要: A high performance, lead free, Ag paste thermal interface material (TIM) for die attachment and substrate bonding in electronic packaging includes: (i) multiscale silver particles, (ii) metal-coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs), (iii) a polymer, and (iv) a liquid carrier. The multiscale silver particles and metal-coated carbon nanotubes, which function as hybrid filler components, are uniformly dispersed within the TIM composition. The sintered TIM exhibits high density, high mechanical strength, and high thermal conductivity. The components of the liquid carrier including the solvent, binder, surfactants, and thinner are completely evaporated or burned off during sintering. Sintering of the TIM can be conducted at a relatively low temperature, without or with very low (

    摘要: Disclosed are a method of producing an electrochromic composition capable of diversifying colors, an electrochromic composition produced thereby, and an electrochromic device including the electrochromic composition. The electrochromic composition may be produced through a solution direct reaction using an electro-spray machine including two nozzles symmetrically inclined toward a central axis. The method may include preparing, respectively, a first coating composition comprising a first electrochromic compound and a second coating composition comprising a second electrochromic compound; loading, respectively, the first coating composition and the second composition into an electro-spray machine; spraying the first coating composition and the second coating composition under application of a voltage to the electro-spray device; and forming a electrochromic composition by reacting the first electrochromic compound with the second electrochromic compound during spraying.

    摘要: A method of producing a kesterite material of CZTS, CZTSe or CZTSSe type, including the steps of: a) preparing an acidic solution by dissolving copper and zinc salts in water in desired molar ratio, b) preparing a basic solution by dissolving an alkali metal stannate together with an alkali metal carbonate or an alkali metal hydrogen carbonate or an alkali metal hydroxide or a combination thereof, and optionally with an alkali metal selenate or an alkali metal selenite or a mixture thereof, c) carrying out a precipitation reaction by mixing the acidic and the basic solution, d) drying the precipitate thereby providing a precursor for the kesterite material, and e) sulfurizing the precursor of step d to provide the kesterite material. Also, a precursor for a kesterite material of CZTS, CZTSe or CZTSSe type.
