PbS/CdS heterojunction quantum dot solar cells
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
The present work investigates the effects of combination of lead sulfide PbS quantum dots and cadmium sulfide CdS nanoparticles (NPs), with n-type and p-type semiconductors, on the photovoltaic performance of heterojunction ...
Functionalization of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and its effects on polysulfone-ZnO membranes
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Incorporation of nanoparticles in membranes has recently been reported to lead to enhancement of the membrane performance for various applications. In this study, ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method using ...
Hybrid transparent conductive electrodes with copper nanowires embedded in a zinc oxide matrix and protected by reduced graphene oxide platelets
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Transparent conductive electrodes (TCE) were fabricated by combining three emerging nano-materials: copper nanowires (CuNWs), zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-particulate thin films, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) platelets. Whereas ...
Chelation-assisted soft-template synthesis of ordered mesoporous zinc oxides for low concentration gas sensing
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Semiconductor zinc oxides with a high surface area and porosity offer great potential for their widespread applications, particularly in the areas of optoelectronic devices and solid-state gas sensors owing to their ...
Nanostructured ZnO gas sensors obtained by green method and combustion technique
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
The present study reports on the synthesis of nano ZnO using two different processes i.e., biological (green synthesis) and chemical synthesis (solution combustion technique). The prepared materials were characterized by ...
Hydrothermally grown ZnO electrodes for improved organic photovoltaic devices
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Here we report a simple, solution based processing route for the formation of large surface area electrodes resulting in improved organic photovoltaic devices when compared with conventional planar electrodes. The ...
Synthesis and properties of HA/ZnO/CNT nanocomposite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The goal of this study was to examine the tribomechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO and HA/ZnO/CNT composite ceramics (carbon nanotubes; with different ratios 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, and 1.5 wt%). The composites were ...
Synthesis and characterisation of Co2+-incorporated ZnO nanoparticles prepared through a sol-gel method
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
The properties of ZnO nanoparticles were modified by doping them with cobalt ions (Co2+) in various compositions through a sol-gel route. The Co2+-doped ZnO nanoparticles were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...
Development of polysulfone-nanohybrid membranes using ZnO-GO composite for enhanced antifouling and antibacterial control
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles were well-known for the enhanced antifouling and antibacterial properties which could be beneficial for membrane processes in desalination. The functionalization of ZnO onto graphene oxide nanoplates ...
Solar thermochemical ZnO/ZnSO4 water splitting cycle for hydrogen production
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, solar reactor efficiency analysis of the solar thermochemical two-step zinc oxide-zinc sulfate (ZnO-ZnSO4) water splitting cycle. In step-1, the ZnSO4 is thermally decomposed into ZnO, SO2, and O2 using solar ...
