Compositional study of defects in microcrystalline silicon solar cells using spectral decomposition in the scanning transmission electron microscope
Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Martial Duchamp
The chemical compositions of defective regions in microcrystalline thin film Si solar cells are studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in the scanning transmission electron microscope. Nanometer-reso ...
American Institute of Physics2013Highly efficient bacteria inactivation and phenol degradation by visible light irradiated iodine doped TiO2
László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Klara Hernadi
In this study visible light active iodine doped titanium dioxide samples prepared by sol-gel method were investigated. Photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XF ...
Elsevier Science Bv2013Between photocatalysis and photosynthesis: Synchrotron spectroscopy methods on molecules and materials for solar hydrogen generation
Michael Graetzel, Artur Braun, Yelin Hu, Jin Guo
Energy research is to a large extent materials research, encompassing the physics and chemistry of materials, including their synthesis, processing toward components and design toward architectures, allowing for their functionality as energy devices, exten ...
Elsevier2013Probing Adsorption Interactions in Metal-Organic Frameworks using X-ray Spectroscopy
We explore the local electronic signatures of molecular adsorption at coordinatively unsaturated binding sites in the metal-organic framework Mg-MOF-74 using X-ray spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. In situ measurements at the Mg K-edge reveal ...
2013Introduction of oxygen vacancies and fluorine into TiO2 nanoparticles by co-milling with PTFE
Vincent Laporte, Benjamin Bauer
Solid-state processes of introducing oxygen vacancies and transference of fluorine to n-TiO2 nanoparticles by co-milling with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) powder were examined by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) of UV, visual, near- and mid-IR re ...
2012Ultrafast X-ray and Optical Spectroscopy of Binuclear Molecular Complexes
In this thesis we followed the synergetic approach of combining ultrafast optical and X-ray spectroscopies to unravel the electronic and geometric structural dynamics of the solvated binuclear transition metal complex [Pt2(P2O5H2)4] 4- (PtPOP). This molecu ...
EPFL2010Time-Resolved Optical and X-Ray Spectroscopy of Rhenium Based Molecular Complexes
The photocycle of rhenium carbonyl complexes, type facial-[Re(L)(CO)3(diimine)]n [L=halide / n=0, L=4-Ethyl-pyridine (Etpy)- Imidazole (ImH) /n=+1, diimine= bpy , 10- phenanthroline (phen), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bpy (dmb)] was studied using a set of ultrafast ...
EPFL2010Electronic and Molecular Surface Structure of a Polyene-Diphenylaniline Dye Adsorbed from Solution onto Nanoporous TiO2
The surface electronic and mol. structure of a new org. chromophore useful for dye-sensitized nanostructured solar cells was studied by electron spectroscopy. Initially the use of a simple mol. system contg. the polyene-diphenylaniline chromophore in a sol ...
