[ 1 ] - Fabrication of Novel High Potential Chromium-Doped TiO2 Nanoparticulate Electrode-based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC)

In the current study, pure TiO2 and Cr-doped TiO2 (Cr@TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized via sol-gel method and the resulting materials were applied to prepare the porous TiO2 electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It is hypothesized that the advantages of the doping of the metal ions into TiO2 lattice are the temporary rapping of the photogenerated electron-hole (charge carriers)...

[ 2 ] - Photovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) Fabricated by Silver Nanoclusters-Decorated TiO2 Electrode via Photochemical Reduction Technique

In this investigation, Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was prepared by deposition of silver nanoclusters onto commercial TiO2 nanoparticles (known as P25 TiO2) via photodeposition technique as clean and simple photochemical route. The synthesized Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was utilized in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) chiefly because, compared ...

[ 3 ] - Investigation of the interaction of carbon dioxide fluid with internal and external single-wall carbon nanotubes by DFT

The effective parameters of (5, 0) and (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes during the interaction with carbon dioxide as sensors are determined. The interaction of carbon dioxide  molecules with internal and external walls of the nanotubes is studied using Gaussian 03 coding by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. CO2 rotation around tube axles vertically and par...

[ 4 ] - Investigating the effects of post-heat treatment temperatures on the structure of prepared nanorod by hydrothermal method

In this study, the TiO2 nanorods were synthesized from P25 TiO2 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method in 10 M NaOH solution. The effects of annealing temperatures on produced nanorods were investigated  by scanning  electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Diameter growth...

[ 5 ] - Effect of large TiO2 Nanoparticles as Light Scatter in Matrix of Small Nanoparticles to Improve the Efficiency in Dye- Sensitized Solar Cell

In this study, we investigated the effect of using large TiO2 nanoparticles in the matrix of small nanoparticles to improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), as light scatter to increase the light harvesting. The mixed powder was deposited by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on FTO (F-SnO2 coated glass). It is shown that adding small quantity of larger...

[ 6 ] - Synthesis and characterization of high flux and antibacterial film nanocomposite based on epoxy-zeolite NaA

A high flux thin-film nanocomposite membrane epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite films prepared by using ultrasonic mixing and spin coating. The synthesized nanocomposites film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), and FTIR spectroscopy. Water softener and water flux characteristics of the epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite ...

[ 7 ] - Visible Light Activity of Nitrogen-Doped TiO2 by Sol-Gel Method Using Various Nitrogen Sources

In order to improve photocatalytic activities of the pure anatase TiO2 under UV and visible light irradiations, a novel and efficient N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by sol-gel method. N-doped titania is prepared using the various nitrogen sources such as: triethylamine, N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine, ethyldiamine, 1,2-phenylenediamine, propanolamine, and...

[ 8 ] - بهینه‌سازی شرایط پخت و اثر مقدار نرم‌کننده بر خواص مکانیکی و گرمایی رزین اپوکسی

فرضیه: سامانه‌های اپوکسی (EP) به‌دلیل خواص منحصر به‌فرد فیزیکی و شیمیایی از پر مصرف‌ترین رزین‌ها در صنایع مختلف از جمله پوشش‌دهی، تجهیزات الکترونیک و قطعات کامپوزیتی در جهان هستند. با وجود کاربرد گسترده، اپوکسی‌ها به‌دلیل داشتن ساختار بی‌شکل، چقرمگی ضعیف‌تری نسبت به پلیمرهای گرمانرم نیمه‌بلوری نشان می‌دهند. عوامل بسیاری از جمله مقدار فاز نرم‌کننده، دما و زمان پخت بر خواص مکانیک...
