Constructing water-resistant CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite films: Via coordination interaction
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Organic-inorganic halide CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted intensive attention due to their high power conversion efficiency and low fabrication cost. However, MAPbI3 is known to be very ...
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 ...

(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, highly concentrated tri-solvent blends containing 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), piperazine (PZ) and monoethanolamine (MEA) were experimentally investigated for their potential capabilities in carbon ...
Enhancing Power Conversion Efficiency of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Using TiO2-MWCNT Composite Photoanodes
(
IEEE Electron Devices Society
, 2016 , Article)
The aim of this work is to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using composite films consisting of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). ...
An Experimental and Kinetic Study of the Sorption of Carbon Dioxide onto Amine-Treated Oil Fly Ash
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
A new CO2 adsorbent is produced from waste oil fly ash (OFA). Ammonium hydroxide solution is used to convert OFA to activated carbon. Then, the product is used for the adsorption of CO2 from a nitrogen/carbon dioxide ...
Pilot-scale spiral wound membrane assessment for THM precursor rejection from upland waters
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The outcomes of a pilot-scale study of the rejection of trihalomethanes (THMs) precursors by commercial ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (UF/NF) spiral-wound membrane elements are presented based on a single surface water ...
Outlook and challenges for hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials
(

Considerable progress has been made recently in the use of nanoporous materials for hydrogen storage. In this article, the current status of the field and future challenges are discussed, ranging from important open ...
Hot electron and hole dynamics in thiol-capped CdSe quantum dots revealed by 2D electronic spectroscopy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have attracted interest as materials for opto-electronic applications, wherein their efficient energy use requires the understanding of carrier relaxation. In QDs capped by bifunctional thiols, ...
Synthesis of new amines for enhanced carbon dioxide (CO2) capture performance: The effect of chemical structure on equilibrium solubility, cyclic capacity, kinetics of absorption and regeneration, and heats of absorption and regeneration
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This work focused on the synthesis of new tertiary amines by varying the alkyl chain length with/without hydroxyl group in the structure. The effect of chemical structure of newly synthesized tertiary amines; 4-(dimethyl ...
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ...
