A polypropylene filter, which contained zinc oxide, reacted explosively in contact with chlorine and was destroyed. This filter was tested at 300 bar. Zinc chloride, which is formed by the effect of chlorine on zinc oxide, may have catalysed this reaction. 

Properties dependent on adsorption are not confined to conductivity. Luminescence of materials may be affected, as Ewles and Heap (7) have shown for the case of silica, for which the luminescent peak at 4000 A. was shown to be associated with the adsorption of the OID radical. Many workers have demonstrated the dependence of the contact potential on the adsorption of gases. For example, Brattain and Bardeen (8) have shown that the contact potential of germanium varies with the adsorption of water vapor. Photoconductivity may be dependent on the adsorption. For example, Bube has shown (9) that the adsorption of water vapor has a marked effect on the photoconductivity of cadmium sulphide. He concluded (10) that the effect was indirect surface changes affect the lifetime of the excess carriers, thus affecting the photoconductivity. Melnick (11), however, working with zinc oxide, has produced evidence that part of the photoconductivity in this case is directly associated with excitation from adsorption levels. 

Apart from antimony, there are other good promoters of the direct synthesis of methylchlorosilanes, which increase the yield of dimethyldichlorosilane, such as arsenic and zinc chloride. If it is necessary to increase the yield of alkylhydridechlorosilanes, one should use univalent copper chloride, cobalt, and titanium. The addition of tin or lead into contact mass increases the yield of dimethyldichlorosilane up to 70% the yield of ethyldi-chlorosilane is increased to 50-80% when contact mass receives 0.5-2% of calcium silicide (Ca2Si). In the synthesis of phenylchlorosilanes effective promoters are zinc, cadmium, mercury or their compounds. In particular, the introduction of zinc oxide (up to 4%) into contact mass may increase the diphenyldichlorosilane content up to 50%, and the introduction of a mixture of zinc oxide and cadmium chloride, even up to 80%. 

Besides, it is advisable to carry out the direct synthesis of phenylchlorosilanes not in hollow reactors in the fluidised layer, but in mechanically agitated reactors where the contact time of chlorobenzene and contact mass increases approximately 10-fold this seems to have a favourable effect on the yield of diphenyldichlorosilane. Thus, the direct synthesis of phenylchlorosilanes with the mechanical mixture of silicon and copper promoted by zinc oxide and cadmium chloride produces a condensate, which after the separation of unreacted chlorobenzene contains 25-30% of phenyltrichlorosilane and 50-55% of diphenyldichlorosilane. This condensate is rectified to extract phenyltrichlorosilane by the technique described above at the third rectification stage it yields diphenyldichlorosilane. 

Here we show that the polarity of polymer solar cells can be reversed by changing the position of two interfacial layers vanadium oxide (V2O5) layer as hole injection and cesium carbonate (CS2CO3) layer as electron injection, independent of the top and bottom electrodes. ° Since our first demonstration of inverted solar cells, more and more interests have focused on this new architecture. Waldauf et al. demonstrated inverted solar cells with a solution-processed titanium oxide interfacial layer. White et al. developed a solution-processed zinc oxide interlayer as efficient electron extraction contact and achieved 2.58% PCE with silver as a hole-collecting back contact. It is noteworthy to mention that EQE value for inverted solar cells approaches 85% between 500 and 550 nm, which is higher than that of normal polymer solar cells. This is possibly due to (i) the positive effect of vertical phase separation of active layer to increase the selection of electrode and (ii) lower series resistance without the PEDOT PSS layer. 

A special and also unusual case of destruction through contact with metal, in this case with copper or copper bronze, is that of red phosphorus, as mentioned in Chapter 12. The oxidation in the presence of air and moisture is also strongly promoted by impurities such as iron or copper within the material (not necessarily as metals). Stabilized red phosphorus, JAN-P-670A, is not only low in iron and copper but particles of less than 10 n diameter are mostly removed and 2.5% of alumina is added as a stabilizer. From experiences in the match industry, the author would confidently say that the special manipulations of red phosphorus leading to the stabilized variety are quite unnecessary since several percent of effective neutralizers such as zinc oxide prevent any acidification of the system in storage. 

Various etchants have been recommended for the remaining metals of engineering practice, but it is doubtful if sufficient work has been reported to differentiate between them or to assess their effect on the durability of the bonds formed with different adhesives. Strong, durable bonds are uncertain with copper because of the ease with which a weak, friable oxide is formed. Even when coated with an adhesive, oxygen can diffuse to the interface and eventually cause failure. Brass has an oxide film almost entirely of zinc oxide and, as with zinc galvanized iron, it can hydrate or form salts with the tackifiers added to some contact adhesives. Cadmium is met with as a plating if a strong, durable adhesive bond is essential, it should be replaced by chromium, the surface of which can be treated as stainless steel. 

At the point when adsorption ceases, the difference between the bulk chemical potential of the solid and the surface is balanced by a potential difference between the bulk and the surface. The surface is effectively at the chemical potential of the adsorbate. The amount of adsorption depends Intimately on the electronic properties of the solid. For example the term "depletive" chemisorption is used to describe the adsorption oxygen (an electron acceptor) on "n" type zinc oxide (an electron donor). Equilibrium is reached when no further electrons are available at the surface and the electrical conductivity has dropped. The similarity to contact charging is obvious. 

Contact with steel, though less harmful, may accelerate attack on aluminium, but in some natural waters and other special cases aluminium can be protected at the expense of ferrous materials. Stainless steels may increase attack on aluminium, notably in sea-water or marine atmospheres, but the high electrical resistance of the two surface oxide films minimises bimetallic effects in less aggressive environments. Titanium appears to behave in a similar manner to steel. Aluminium-zinc alloys are used as sacrificial anodes for steel structures, usually with trace additions of tin, indium or mercury to enhance dissolution characteristics and render the operating potential more electronegative.
