• Net energy analysis of domestic solar water heating installations in operation 

  Hernandez, Patxi ; Kenny, Paul (Elsevier, 2012-01)

  The potential of solar water heating systems to reduce domestic energy use is frequently acknowledged. However there are two factors that are rarely discussed when studying this technology. Firstly the real performance ...
• Characterising dye-sensitized solar cells 

  Tobin, Laura L. ; O'Reilly, Thomas ; Zerulla, Dominic ; Sheridan, John T. (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2009-08-03)

  With growing energy and environmental concerns due to fossil fuel depletion and global warming there is an increasing attention being attracted by alternative and/or renewable sources of power such as biomass, hydropower, ...
• Investigating dye-sensitised solar cells 

  Tobin, Laura L. ; O'Reilly, Thomas ; Zerulla, Dominic ; Sheridan, John T. (SPIE, 2010-04-13)

  At present there is a global concern of environmental issues and future energy supplies, for instance global warming and the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. This trepidation has initiated a more critical investigation ...
• Characterising dye-sensitised solar cells 

  Tobin, Laura L. ; O'Reilly, Thomas ; Zerulla, Dominic ; Sheridan, John T. (Elsevier, 2011-07)

  In today’s society there is a vast and in many cases not fully appreciated dependence on electrical power for everyday life. Furthermore, with growing energy and environmental concerns arising due to fossil fuel depletion ...
• The influence of light intensity, active area and excitation wavelength on the temporal response of a dye sensitized solar cell 

  O'Reilly, Thomas ; Andrei, Codrin ; O'Reilly, Jennifer ; Zerulla, Dominic (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2009-08-02)

  The temporal response of a biomimetic dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is critically linked to the intensity of the incident light. When a DSSC is partially illuminated and the incoming light is of low intensity, the ...
• Deposition and characterization of NiOx coatings by magnetron sputtering for application in dye-sensitized solar cells 

  Awais, Muhammad ; Rahman, Mahfujur ; MacElroy, J. M. Don ; Coburn, Nadia ; Dini, Danilo ; Vos, Johannes G. ; Dowling, Denis P. (Elsevier, 2010-05)

  Nickel oxide (NiOx) due to its p-type nature has considerable potential as a photocathodic material in energy conversion devices such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). However,NiOx has not been extensively used for ...
• A spatially resolved study on the Sn diffusion during the sintering process in the active layer of dye sensitised solar cells 

  Andrei, Codrin ; O'Reilly, Thomas ; Zerulla, Dominic (RSC publications, 2010)

  Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) use a mesoporous TiO2 scaffold, typically assisted by an adsorbed dye, as the main active element, responsible for the photon absorption, exciton generation and charge separation ...
• Spray deposited NiOx films on ITO substrates as photoactive electrodes for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells 

  Awais, Muhammad ; Dowling, Denis P. ; Rahman, Mahfujur ; Vos, Johannes G. ; Decker, Franco ; Dini, Danilo (Springer, 2013-02)

  Spray deposition followed by sintering of nickel oxide (NiO x ) nanoparticles (average diameter: 40 nm) has been chosen as method of deposition of mesoporous NiO x coatings onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. This ...
