Graphene oxide (GO) thin films were simply deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a low-voltage electrodeposition. The GO and GO thin films were characterized by Zeta Potential, X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrosc...

We prepared self-assembled vesicles comprising layers of fullerene, alkyl chains, triazole, oligo(ethylene oxide) chains, biotin and avidin molecules. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy using a superhydrophilic indium-tin oxide substrate was found to be useful for nanometer-level structural analysis of the vesicles and individual avidin molecules whose structures are difficult to anal...

Niobium and antimony doped tin oxide loose-tubes decorated with Pt nanoparticles present outstanding mass activity and stability, exceeding those of a reference carbon-based electrocatalyst. Physico-chemical characterisation and in particular X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrate that this observation can be ascribed to the strong metal-support interaction promoting electroactivity and P...

A novel process of fabricating various oxide nanostructures on glass substrates is described. Transparent porous alumina films ( 6–150 nm) were first formed in acid solutions by anodization of aluminum layers sputter-deposited on a glass plate coated with a tin-doped indium oxide film. The porous alumina structures after pore-widened were then used as a host or a template in a sol–gel process t...

Transparent conducting tin oxide thin films have been prepared by electron beam evaporation and spray pyrolysis methods. Structural, optical and electrical properties were studied under different preparation conditions like substrate temperature, solution flow rate and rate of deposition. Resistivity of undoped evaporated films varied from 2⋅65 × 10 Ω-cm to 3⋅57 × 10 Ω-cm in the temperature ran...

Lead halide perovskite solar cells have recently attracted tremendous attention because of their excellent photovoltaic efficiencies. However, the poor stability of both the perovskite material and the charge transport layers has so far prevented the fabrication of devices that can withstand sustained operation under normal conditions. Here, we report a solution-processed lead halide perovskite...

Sea-urchin like, multi-component, 3-D nanostructures have been synthesized using a microwave assisted approach, which is called the “PopTube” method. This microwave approach has the advantages of highefficiency and selective heating, simple experimental conditions and instrument setups, which provides a facile and ultrafast technique to obtain three dimensional nanomaterial growth on various en...

AuPd nanoparticles are formed on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) by a nanosecond laser irradiation-induced dewetting process of deposited AuPd films. In particular, we analyze the effect of the surface topography of the substrate on the dewetting process and, so, on the final mean size of the formed nanoparticles. In fact, we used two supporting FTO substrates differing in the surface topography...

in this paper, indium tin oxide (ito) nanoparticles has been prepared by chemical methods under given conditions with solution of indium chloride (incl3·4h2o), tin chloride (sncl4·5h2o) in ammonia solution. the samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) analyses after heat treatments. the sem results showed that, the size of the ito particles pr...
