Preparation And Characterization Of Nanopaper From Regenerated Cellulose, Nattorn Paijit Jan 2020

Preparation And Characterization Of Nanopaper From Regenerated Cellulose, Nattorn Paijit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Cellulose nanopapers (RCNP) were prepared from regenerated cellulose (RC) via the solvent casting method. RC was prepared by dissolution of bleached eucalyptus cellulose pulp (BEP) with 85% H3PO4 at -20oC. Water was applied as anti-solvent in the regenerated process. Effects of storage time after dissolution on fiber solubility were investigated at 0, 20, 40, 60 min, 1, and 2 days. ATR FT-IR spectra and crystalline index proved that regenerated cellulose was obtained. The crystalline index of the fiber became stable at 60 min, indicating the fibers were completely dissolved at 60 min. The results from thermogravimetric analysis showed that after …


Sodium Doping Effects On Properties Of Czts Thin Filmsfabricated By Sol-Gel Convective Deposition Technique, Orawan Sukchoy Jan 2020

Sodium Doping Effects On Properties Of Czts Thin Filmsfabricated By Sol-Gel Convective Deposition Technique, Orawan Sukchoy

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is an interesting candidate for thin-film solar cell applications due to its availability and attractive properties (energy band gap of 1.5 eV and high absorption coefficient). However, CZTS solar cell performance is limited because of the defect formation from small grain size, pinholes, rough surface, and negative defects in CZTS such as CuZn. One of the most possible ways to reduce these negative defects, and to increase solar cell performance is by doping with sodium. In this work, CZTS films were synthesized by sol-gel convective deposition technique and Na was doped in CZTS film using 2 different methods: …


Sulfonated Polyetheretherketone/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Blend Polymeric Cation Exchange Membrane As Separator In Zinc-Iodine Flow Batteries, Pimpen Pusanasuwanasri Jan 2020

Sulfonated Polyetheretherketone/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Blend Polymeric Cation Exchange Membrane As Separator In Zinc-Iodine Flow Batteries, Pimpen Pusanasuwanasri

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Zinc-iodine flow batteries (ZIFBs) are very appealing owing to their abundance of active materials, low cost, high safety and environmental friendliness. The cation exchange membrane (CEM) separator contributes a significant part to the cost and determines battery performance. Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) is a promising candidate as a CEM separator. The ionic conductivity of SPEEK CEM can be tuned by adjusting a degree of sulfonation (DS), but the mechanical property of CEM could be deteriorated. Blending poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with SPEEK can improve the mechanical strength of SPEEK membrane. Therefore, this study examined the effect of PVDF …
