A novel catalyst of WO2 nanorod for the counter electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Tungsten dioxide (WO2) nanorods were synthesized, which showed good catalytic activity for the redn. of triiodide to iodide. The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) using WO2 as a counter electrode (CE) reached a high energy conversion efficiency of 7.25%, whi ...

PFM investigation of stress induced ferroelastic switching in piezoelectric bulk ceramics

Nava Setter, Dragan Damjanovic, Tomas Sluka, Enrico Colla, Mahamudu Mtebwa

Stress induced ferroelastic switching may represent an efficient toughening mechanism in piezoelectric-ferroelectric ceramics. During the crack propagation, the high tensional stresses at the crack tip can be partially released by the reorientation of 90 d ...

Nanoporous YSZ film in electrolyte membrane of Micro-Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

Paul Muralt, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Yan Yan, Samuel Rey-Mermet

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with 8 mol% Y was deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering onto oxidized (100) silicon substrates. It was possible to switch film texture from (111) to (200) by applying a strong RF substrate bias. Transmission electron m ...

Rapid chromium quantification in solid oxide fuel cell cathodes

Jan Van Herle, Josef Andreas Schuler, Pietro Tanasini

The detection and quantification of small quantities of Cr in (La,Sr)MnO3/Y–ZrO2 solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) is not straightforward as Cr X-ray emission lines overlap with La/Mn and O lines. This wor ...
