Gallium [格林], Indium [茵迪] & Germanium [哲梅]

Team semiconductors! :P PS: Indium's heart emoticon is meant for Germanium.

Indium's cloak imitates translucent indium tin oxide, and she can control the patterns displayed on it. Theoretically she can put a short message on it (e.g. 摸鱼想下班[slacking, want to go home]), or send emoticons to her friends. That's Gallium's idea, btw!

She respects and admires Tin, who had gently guided and encouraged her. Being quiet and approachable, she gets along well with fellow semiconductors - Germanium finds her adorable. Though she's a little afraid of Arsenic, whose thoughts seem opaque to her.

Gallium has a creative, fun, and playful vibe. His cloak is decorated with 3D-printed trinkets, which he switches from time to time. He enjoys puns and cracks friendly jokes around his teammates.

Gallium sometimes messed up Aluminium work, e.g. they get carried away with video games the day before Aluminium's assignment deadline (!). Having Arsenic on the team appears to keep them on track...

A cheaper and more flexible alternative to indium tin oxide

A team of chemists at Purdue University, working with a pair of colleagues from the University of Kentucky, has developed a way to make PBDF, a type of transparent conducting material, at an easily synthesized scale. In their paper published in Journal of the American Chemical Society, the group describes their new technique and possible applications.

Touch screens, such as those used on smartphones and tablet computers, are able to convey finger commands via a layer of electrically conductive film made of indium tin oxide (ITO). Such films are expensive to make, tend to be rigid and require the use of indium, a post-transition metal that can be toxic if consumed.

Since the introduction of its use in personal electronic devices, scientists have been looking for a substitute. One promising organic material is PBDF—it is stable in natural conditions and more electrically conductive than other organic clear conductors. It also can be printed onto surfaces, and bent and twisted without suffering damage. Its one main drawback has been the inability to synthesize it at scale and at a reasonable cost. In this new effort, the research team working in Indiana has found a way around this problem.

Silver Nanowires: The Next Generation of Conducting Materials

Introduction to Silver nanofibers Silver nanofibers are extremely thin silver wires with diameters measuring only tens to hundreds of nanometers. At such a small scale, silver exhibits unusual optical, electrical and thermodynamic properties compared to bulk silver. Silver nanofibers have found use in applications requiring transparent conducting materials like touchscreens. Properties of Silver nanofibers Silver nanofibers conduct electricity exceptionally well due to the high electrical conductivity of bulk silver. The electrical resistivity of silver is only about 1.59×10−8 Ω·m, second only to copper. At the nanoscale, Silver nanofibers retain much of this high conductivity despite their small cross-sectional area. Additionally, long nanowires allow percolation or contact between nanowires to form conductive networks even at low surface coverage or mass fractions. This makes Silver nanofibers viable at transmitting electricity through transparent materials. Optical properties are also influenced at the nanoscale. Silver Nanowires is highly reflective in the visible spectrum as a bulk material. However, Silver nanofibers only weakly absorb and scatter visible light due to resonance effects dependent on nanowire diameter, reducing opacity. Transmission of visible light can exceed 90% with Silver nanofibers films only tens of nanometers thick. The nanowires also transmit infrared radiation well. These qualities give Silver nanofibers their useful optoelectronic properties. Producing High Quality Silver Nanowires Several techniques exist for producing high quality Silver nanofibers on an industrial scale. Polyol synthesis is a common method which uses ethylene glycol both as a reducing agent and reaction solvent. In this process, silver nitrate is reduced by ethylene glycol at elevated temperatures (150-200°C) in the presence of a structure-directing agent like polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The PVP bonds preferentially to certain crystallographic faces of growing silver nanoparticles, directing their one-dimensional growth into nanowires. Reaction time, temperature, and concentration of reagents control the dimensions of synthesized nanowires, which are usually 50-200 nm in diameter and 5-100 μm in length. Post-synthesis processing like washing and drying yields pure Silver nanofibers powders. PVP-coated Silver nanofibers produced by polyol synthesis typically have good aspect ratios above 100 and acceptable electrical conductivities. However, surfactants and byproducts must be removed before application to avoid compromising transparency or conductivity. Additional techniques like electrospinning can also fabricate Silver nanofibers, enabling mass production. Overall, wet chemistry methods allow cost-effective synthesis of high quality Silver Nanowires nanofibers materials. Uses of Silver nanofibers in Devices Transparent Conductive Films One major application of Silver nanofibers is as a material for transparent conductive films (TCFs). TCFs require optical transparency as well as high electrical conductivity, which bulk metals cannot provide. Silver nanofibers combine these properties, transmitting over 90% of visible light while achieving conductivities within an order of magnitude of ITO. Silver nanowire TCFs have begun replacing indium tin oxide (ITO) in applications like touchscreens due to lowered costs and mechanical flexibility. At optimized surface densities, Silver nanofibers form a percolated conductive mesh that maintains excellent optical qualities even as electrical conductivity surpasses that of ITO. This makes them promising for next-generation touch-enabled displays and transparent electrodes. Organic Electronics and Solar Cells
