Failure of silver nanowire transparent electrodes under current flow
Silver nanowire transparent electrodes have received much attention as a replacement for indium tin oxide, particularly in organic solar cells. In this paper, we show that when silver nanowire electrodes conduct current at levels encountered in organic solar cells, the electrodes can fail in as little as 2 days. Electrode failure is caused by Joule heating which causes the nanowires to breakup ...
متن کاملImproving Gas Sensing Properties of Tin Oxide Nanowires Palladium-Coated Using a Low Cost Technique
Thin films of SnO2 nanowires were successfully prepared by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process on quartz substrates. Afterwards, a thin layer of palladium (Pd) as a catalyst was coated on top of nanowires. For the deposition of Pd, a simple and low cost technique of spray pyrolysis was employed, which caused an intensive enhancement on the sensing response of fabricated sensors...
متن کاملDoping-dependent electrical characteristics of SnO2 nanowires.
Tin dioxide (SnO2) represents an importantmetal-oxide group that can be suitable for a range of applications through the incorporation of dopants. For example, the electrical conductivity of intrinsic SnO2 depends strongly on the surface properties, as molecular adsorption/desorption will affect the band modulation and space-charge layer, which makes SnO2 an important conductance-type gas-sensi...
متن کاملHigh-Density Arrays of Germanium Nanowire Photoresistors
Here we present for the first time a study of the photoresistive properties and dynamics of ordered, high-density arrays of germanium nanowire photoresistors. Germanium is a wellknown semiconducting material with an indirect bandgap, Eg, of approximately 0.66 eV (temperature T = 300 K) and has been widely used for the fabrication of photodetectors, radiation detectors, charged particle and phot...
متن کاملPlatinum Nanoparticles (PtNPs) - Laccase Assisted Biocathode Reduction of Oxygen for Biofuel Cells
Reduction of dioxygen catalyzed by laccase was studied at platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) modified electrodes. PtNPs with laccase are directly fabricated on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and indium tin oxide electrode (ITO) by simple process. The PtNPs/laccase modified ITO electrode surface has been studied in detail using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This PtNPs/laccase modified GCE effectivel...
