PbO2: from semi-metal to transparent conducting oxide by defect chemistry control.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lead dioxide has been studied for over 150 years as a component of the lead-acid battery. Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that by tuning the concentration of electrons in the material, through control of the defect chemistry, PbO(2) can be rendered from black to optically transparent, thus opening up applications in the field of optoelectronics.

متن کاملComputational study of electronic, spectroscopic, and chemical properties of (CdO)n (n=1-7) nanoclusters as a transparent conducting oxide
An ab initio study has been performed for the electronic, spectroscopic, and chemical properties of the most stable configuration of the (CdO)n nanoclusters by employing B3LYP-DFT/LanL2DZ method. Different isomers were optimized to obtain structural stability and numerous chemical parameters such as dipole moment, ionization potential, etc. We report here the vibrational frequencies of the most...

In this contribution, the Co doped SnO2 transparent semi-conducting films are prepared by spray pyrolysis technique and the influence of N2-and Ar-ambient annealing on their structural, electrical and optical properties are studied. The SnO2:Co thin films were deposited on the glass substrate at substrate temperature of 480 ˚C using an aqueous-ethanol solution consisting of tin and cobalt chlor...
متن کاملCrystalline nanoporous metal oxide thin films by post-synthetic hydrothermal transformation: SnO2 and TiO2.
Nanostructured and nanoporous metal oxide thin films are rarely accessible by standard synthetic approaches but highly desired for many applications, e.g. as electrodes, transparent conducting coatings, sensors or surface catalysts. Template based sol–gel chemistry combined with post-synthetic hydrothermal treatment allows now the synthesis of nanocrystalline mesostructured porous thin films of...
