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 ...
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 ...
Thermochemical conversion of H2O and CO2 into solar fuels via metal oxide based redox reaction
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of the production of solar syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO with molar ratio equal to 2: 1) via ZnO/Zn based thermochemical H2O and/or CO2 splitting redox reactions. Solar syngas ...
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 ...
Sol-gel deposition and plasma treatment of intrinsic, aluminum-doped and gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films as transparent conductive electrodes
(
SPIE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Zinc oxide and aluminum/gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited via sol-gel spin-coating technique. Employing plasma treatment as alternative to post thermal annealing, we found that the morphologies of these ...
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 ...
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 ...
