Highly ordered, and conductive inverse opal arrays were made with silica and subsequently coated with tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) via atomic layer deposition (ALD). We demonstrate the utility of the resulting mesostructured electrodes by further coating them with nickel oxide via ALD. The NiO-coated arrays are capable of efficiently electrochemically evolving oxygen from water. These modular, ...

Many researchers working on the development of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) continue to focus synthesis photoanode materials with high surface area, along light scattering ability enhance harvesting efficiency (LHE). Meanwhile, dye packing density, which also impacts LHE significantly, is often overlooked. Solvothermally synthesized anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (SANP) were obtained by a new ...

A single picosecond pulse from a mode-locked dye laser was used for time resolved microphotography of the gasdynamic phenomena occurring in a lasertarget interaction experiment. A time resolution of 5 ps and a spatial resolution of better than 10 ^ m were experimentally obtained. Results are presented for the case of laser irradiation of a thin foil, shock wave propagation in a transparent targ...

First, some basic notions of transparent intensional logic (TIL) are introduced. Secondly, it is studied how natural-language interrogatives are analyzed in TIL.

Abstract A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a solar-light harvesting device that concentrates light on photovoltaic cell placed at the edge of an LSC panel to convert it into electricity. The nano-sized inorganic–organic cluster complex (dMDAEMA) 4 [Re 6 S 8 (NCS) ] (this refers RMC where dMDAEMA 2-dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate) promising candidate for luminophores due its downshifte...

Materials that rapidly change their optical properties in response to external stimuli are crucial for displays and “smart” window applications. Herein, a fluorescent red dye modified with liquid crystal (LC) side chains is described be interactive LC host, resulting color-tunable triple-state smart window. The solubilizes the matrix increasing temperature, red-colored, absorbing state, recover...

This report presents a study of electrokinetic transport in a series of integrated macro- to nano-fluidic chips that allow for controlled injection of molecular mixtures into high-density arrays of nanochannels. The high-aspect-ratio nanochannels were fabricated on a Si wafer using interferometric lithography and standard semiconductor industry processes, and are capped with a transparent Pyrex...

(2003) Characterization of a dye-sensitised titania solar cell electrode. Abstract: We have characterised a dye-sensitised nanoporous nanocrystalline titania film used in prototype photoelectrochemical solar cell production. From Transmission Electron Microscopy the particles were seen as mixtures of tetrahedral and rhombohedral geometries with size distribution in the range between 10 and 25 n...
