Ag-Doped TiO2 Composite Films Prepared Using Aerosol-Assisted, Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition

Tungsten Doped TiO2 with Enhanced Photocatalytic and Optoelectrical Properties via Aerosol Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition

Tungsten doped titanium dioxide films with both transparent conducting oxide (TCO) and photocatalytic properties were produced via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of titanium ethoxide and dopant concentrations of tungsten ethoxide at 500 °C from a toluene solution. The films were anatase TiO2, with good n-type electrical conductivities as determined via Hall effect measurements. The ...

Visible light photocatalysis with nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles prepared by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition

Nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via plasma assisted metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Nitrogen dopant concentration was varied from 0 to 1.61 at. %. The effect of nitrogen ion doping on visible light photocatalysis has been investigated. Samples were analyzed by various analytical techniques such as x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectr...

Annealing and oxidation of silicon oxide films prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Gallium assisted plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of silicon nanowires.

Silicon nanowires have been grown with gallium as catalyst by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The morphology and crystalline structure has been studied by electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy as a function of growth temperature and catalyst thickness. We observe that the crystalline quality of the wires increases with the temperature at which they have been synthesized. The cry...

CuInS2 Films Deposited by Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition Using Ternary Single-Source Precursors

Photovoltaics are an important power source for both off-grid terrestrial and extraterrestrial use. Thin film polycrystalline materials have been studied extensively for solar cell applications partially because their polycrystalline nature allows their formation on many different types of substrates including glass, metal foil, and lightweight flexible polymer substrates. For example, monolith...
