The dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have been regarded as one of the most promising new generation solar cells. Tremendous research efforts have been invested to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion which is generally determined by the light harvesting efficiency, electron injection efficiency and undesirable electron lifetime. In this review, various characteristics of dye-...

The Front Cover illustrates the superior Na-ion diffusion characteristics of highly crystalline brown TiO2 nanostructures compared to their low counterparts. dependence crystallinity nanostructured anodes on kinetics and are analyzed using different electrochemical techniques. Our study provides deeper understanding intercalation/de-intercalation mechanism in these materials, benefiting practic...

The abundant pigment-protein membrane complex photosystem-I (PS-I) is at the heart of the Earth's energy cycle. It is the central molecule in the "Z-scheme" of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into the chemical energy of life. Commandeering this intricately organized photosynthetic nanocircuitry and re-wiring it to produce electricity carries the promise of inexpensive and environmentally fr...

Surface modification of metallic implants is proposed as a viable means to alleviate the problems related to in-stent restenosis. Amongst the various surface modification strategies, surface nanotexturing is highlighted as a promising approach to improve the cellular behavior and tissue integration of biomedical implants. This thesis work focuses on developing a polymer-less and drug-free nanos...

TiO2-based photocatalysts still have some limitations such as large bandgap and low surface area, leading to efficiency in the photocatalytic degradation of VOCs limiting it use sunlight. Here we report that nanostructured Ir-doped TiO2 an efficient photocatalyst generates excellent risk-reduction material gaseous toluene. We succeeded developing a initially found VOC decomposition can be achie...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

The cold spray or Supersonic Particle Deposition technique has great potential for producing ceramic nanostructured coatings. This operates at a processing temperature that is low enough to preserve the initial feedstock materials’ microstructure. Nevertheless, depositing powders using can be challenging because of brittle nature. interaction between substrate and particles significantly influe...
