The ability to construct well-defined and controlled hierarchical nanostructured porous architectures is desirable for enhancing the performance of electrochem. pseudocapacitors. Here, we propose design rules for improving capacitive energy storage: use of ...
TiO2, ZnO nanoparticulate(-np), and ZnO-nanorod(-nr) electrodes have been modified with FeS2 (pyrite) nanoparticles. Quantum size effect is manifested by a blue shift in both absorption and photocurrent action spectra. PIA (photoinduced absorption spectros ...
The properties of metal oxide nanocrystals in energy-related devices are strongly dependent on the presence and chem. nature of ligands at their surface, and the architectures they assume in electroactive layers. The article presents a comprehensive strate ...
Block copolymer templating of inorg. materials is a robust method for the prodn. of nanoporous materials. The method is limited, however, by the fact that the mol. inorg. precursors commonly used generally form amorphous porous materials that often cannot ...
The tandem photoelectochemical (PEC) cell based on oxide semiconductors for water splitting offers a potentially inexpensive route for solar hydrogen generation. At the heart of the device, a nanostructured photoanode for water oxidation is connected in se ...
Zinc oxides (ZnO) nanowires were successfully deposited on plastic low-power micro-hotplates using the thermal oxidation technique. Metallic zinc layer was deposited on the sensing transducer by RF magnetron sputtering and then oxidized in a controlled atm ...
The "extra" electrons in colloidal n-type ZnO nanocrystals formed by aliovalent doping and photochem. redn. are compared. Whereas the two are similar spectroscopically, they show very different electron-transfer reactivities, attributable to their differen ...
A colloidal crystal-splitting growth regime was used in which TiO2 nanocrystals, selectively trapped in the metastable anatase phase, can evolve to anisotropic shapes with tunable hyper-branched topologies over a broad size interval. The synthetic strategy ...
Cobalt-based electrolytes have significantly advanced the tunability and performance of dye-sensitized solar cells. The typically used platinum cathodes are expensive and non-optimal for cobalt complexes, motivating the search for replacements. Graphene na ...
A bottom-up approach to produce a long-range ordered superlattice of monodisperse and isomorphic metal-oxide nanoparticles (NP) supported onto an oxide substrate is demonstrated. The synthetic strategy consists of self-assembling metallic NP on an ultrathi ...
