Studies on single-atom catalysts (SACs) with individually isolated metal atoms anchored specific supports have gained great interest in photocatalysis due to their enhanced catalytic activity and optimal atom utilization. By providing the optimized number of active sites enhancing intrinsic activity, SACs afford a distinctive platform for at atomic level. In this study, we investigate photocata...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared by modified Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The optical, structural and antibacterial properties of the prepared ZnO films were analyzed as a function of its annealing temperature lying in the range of 250oC to 450oC. Optical properties were studied using UV-Visible spectroscopy and Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PLS). Op...

We report an inexpensive TiO2 based quantum dot solar cell (QDSSC) with improved power conversion efficiency prepared by simple techniques. Barium doped zinc sulfide has been successfully deposited on cadmium dots (QDs) successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The is utilized as a passivation in the QDSSC, which helped better charge separation. copper (Cu2S) reduced graph...
