NiO Nanofibers as a Candidate for a Nanophotocathode

p-type NiO nanofibers have been synthesized from a simple electrospinning and sintering procedure. For the first time, p-type nanofibers have been electrospun onto a conductive fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) surface. The properties of the NiO nanofibers have been directly compared to that of bulk NiO nanopowder. We have observed a p-type photocurrent for a NiO photocathode fabricated on an FTO substrate

N-[(4-Amino-5-sulfanyl­idene-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)meth­yl]-4-methyl­benzamide

In the title compound, C11H13N5OS, the dihedral angle between the triazole ring and the benzene ring is 84.21 (7)°. The amino group adopts a pyramidal configuration. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond stabilizes the mol­ecular structure and generates an S(8) ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯O, N—H⋯S, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into layers lying parallel to the bc plane. The crystal structure is further stabilized by aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.3330 (7) Å]
