Solar Water Splitting Electrically connected and optically paralleled photoelectrochemical-photovoltaic tandem architecture is placed on the coast in sunlight. A photovoltaic cell produces electricity provides it to a photocathode. silicon photocathode, which consists of TiO2 nanorods passivation layer MoS2 nanoplates, submerged under sea water generates hydrogen gas. As can be seen from enlarg...

Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma jet not only modifies surface morphology but also introduces functional groups on sample surfaces. In this work, TiO2 nanorods/carbon fiber (TNCF) is hydrothermally prepared, and hydrogen-doped TNCF (H:TNCF) obtained by the treatment of using cold Ar/H2 Plasma jet. H OH spectral lines are observed from emitting spectrum Nanoscaled protrusions appear at top nanor...

Modulation of resistive switching memory by light opens the route to new optoelectronic devices that can be controlled both optically and electronically. Applications include integrated circuits with elements switchable neuromorphic computing reconfigurable tunable synaptic circuits. We report on a unique nanocomposite material device made from low concentration (∼0.1% mass) titanium dioxide na...

In solar energy harvesting using cells and photocatalysts, the photoexcitation of electrons holes in semiconductors is first major step conversion. The lifetime carriers, a key factor determining conversion photocatalysis efficiency, shortened mainly by recombination photoexcited carriers. We prepared tested series ZnO/TiO2-based heterostructures search designs which can extend carrier lifetime...

Photoanodes comprising a transparent glass substrate coated with thin conductive film of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and layer photoactive phase have been fabricated tested regard to the photo-electro-oxidation water into molecular oxygen. The was made mat TiO2 nanorods (TDNRs) micrometric thickness. Individual were successfully photosensitized nanoparticles metal–organic framework (MOF) nic...

This study focused on the copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) that serves as an absorber layer, owing to its excellent optical properties, while titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a well-known material has superior properties in solar cell development. In this work, TiO2 nanorods layer was synthesised fluorine-doped tin (FTO) glass substrate by facile hydrothermal method followed stacking Cu2O using low-cost elect...
