Semiconductor nanowire array: potential substrates for photocatalysis and photovoltaics
A novel vapor–liquid–solid epitaxy (VLSE) process has been developed to synthesize high-density semiconductor nanowire arrays. The nanowires generally are single crystalline and have diameters of 10–200nm and aspect ratios of 10–100. The areal density of the array can readily approach 10 cm . Results based on Si and ZnO nanowire systems are reported here. Because of their single crystallinity a...
متن کاملLanthanide-doped upconversion materials: emerging applications for photovoltaics and photocatalysis.
Photovoltaics and photocatalysis are two significant applications of clean and sustainable solar energy, albeit constrained by their inability to harvest the infrared spectrum of solar radiation. Lanthanide-doped materials are particularly promising in this regard, with tunable absorption in the infrared region and the ability to convert the long-wavelength excitation into shorter-wavelength li...
متن کاملThree-dimensional photovoltaics
The concept of three-dimensional 3D photovoltaics is explored computationally using a genetic algorithm to optimize the energy production in a day for arbitrarily shaped 3D solar cells confined to a given area footprint and total volume. Our simulations demonstrate that the performance of 3D photovoltaic structures scales linearly with height, leading to volumetric energy conversion, and provid...

Increasing utilization of solar energy is an effective strategy to tackle our energy and energy-related environmental issues. Both solar photocatalysis (PC) and solar photovoltaics (PV) have high potential to develop technologies of many practical applications. Substantial research efforts are devoted to enhancing visible light activation of the photoelectrocatalytic reactions by various modifi...
متن کاملCriticality of surface topology for charge-carrier transport characteristics in two-dimensional borocarbonitrides: design principles for an efficient electronic material.
We have studied the effect of the spatial distribution of B, N and C domains in 2-dimensional borocarbonitrides and its influence on carrier mobility, based on density functional theory coupled with the Boltzmann transport equation. Two extreme features of C-domains in BN-rich B2.5CN2.5, namely, BCN-I (random) and BCN-II (localized), have been found to exhibit an electron (hole) mobility of ∼10...
