(Wiley, 2011-04-18)Hematite nanorod arrays were activated through proper control of annealing conditions. The 100-fold improvement in photocurrent was correlated with increased absorption and Sn doping from the tin oxide coated glass ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-07-25)In this study the use of microwave plasma sintering of nickel oxide (NiOx) particles for use as p-type photoelectrode coatings in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is investigated. NiOx was chosen as the photocathode for ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-07-29)The electronic properties and photocatalytic activity of X (N, C) / transition metal (TM=Ta, Hf, Fe) – codoped anatase TiO2 have been investigated using density functional theory. It was found that only the (N, Ta)-codoping ...
-
(IOP Science, 2009-10-14)The paper presents a facile method for decreasing the size of water dispersible Ni nanoparticles from 30 nm to 3 nm by the incorporation of a passivating surfactant combination of pluronic triblock copolymer and oleic acid ...
-
(RSC publications, 2009-09-08)Assembly of CdS nanorods (8 × 100 nm) into vertically aligned arrays over very large areas on a substrate either as a monolayer or several multilayers is shown by electrophoresis.
-
(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 ...
-
(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, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-07-25)Crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings have been widely used in photo-electrochemical solar cell applications. In this study, TiO2 and carbon-doped TiO2 coatings were deposited onto unheated titanium and silicon wafer ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-12-28)Based on first-principles calculations, we have studied the occurrence of spin polarization in the magnetic metal oxide SnO2 doped with nonmagnetic nitrogen (N) impurities. It was found that the local magnetic moments are ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2010-06)The structural and electronic properties of rutile and anatase, and the influence of both mono- and co-doping, have been studied using Density Functional Theory. Ge-doped anatase and rutile exhibit different band gap-narrowing ...
-
(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 ...
-
Directing semiconductor nanorod assembly into 1D or 2D supercrystals by altering the surface charge (RSC publications, 2010)Coulomb repulsion due to the surface charge on semi-conductor nanorods works against the dipole–dipole attraction that tends to direct the nanorods to self-assemble; the nature of this self-assembly for CdSe nanorods can ...
-
Dye sensitised solar cells with nickel oxide photocathodes prepared via scalable microwave sintering (RSC Publishing, 2012-12-06)Photoactive NiO electrodes for cathodic dye-sensitised solar cells (p-DSCs) have been prepared with thicknesses ranging between 0.4 and 3.0 mm by spray-depositing pre-formed NiO nanoparticles on fluorine-doped tin oxide ...
-
(RSC publications, 2011-10-03)Classical equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the dynamical and energetic properties in hydrogen and mixed hydrogen-tetrahydrofuran sII hydrates at 30 and 200K and 0.05 kbar, ...
-
(American Institute of Physics, 2012-01-24)Classical equilibrium molecular dynamics(MD) simulations have been performed to investigate dynamical properties of cage radial breathing modes and intra- and inter-cage hydrogen migration in both pure hydrogen and mixed ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-01-15)In this contribution a novel powder coating processing technique (microblasting) for the fabrication of nickel oxide (NiOx) coatings is reported. ~1.2 μm thick NiOx coatings are deposited at 20 mm2 s−1 by the bombardment ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-10-08)The energetic and electronic properties of F and/or Zr-doped anatase TiO2 are investigated by first-principles calculations. For F-doping, reduced Ti3+ ions are formed and Ti orbitals lie slightly below the conduction band, ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2010-08-19)The origin of the experimentally observed band gap narrowing and red-shift of the adsorption edge of cubic In2O3 induced by C doping has been investigated using density functional theory calculations. We have compared the ...
