Zinc oxide nanorod arrays (ZnO NRs) were grown on the ZnO seed layers via an aqueous solution using hydrothermal method and their photovoltaic properties were investigated. It was found that the growth period of 20 minutes is the optimum condition for ZnO nanorods growth, the cell containing these nanorods was considered as a reference cell. In order to further increase the cell performance, Zn...

CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) were deposited onto TiO2 nanorod arrays for different cycles by using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The effect of SILAR cycles on the light absorption and photoelectrochemical properties of the sensitized photoelectrodes was studied. With optimization of CuInS2 SILAR cycles and introduction of In2S3 buffer layer, quantum dot-sensitized ...

p-BiOI nanosheets/n-TiO₂ nanofibers (p-BiOI/n-TiO₂ NFs) have been facilely prepared via the electrospinning technique combining successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Dense BiOI nanosheets with good crystalline and width about 500 nm were uniformly assembled on TiO₂ nanofibers at room temperature. The amount of the heterojunctions and the specific surface area were well control...

objective: this study aimed to evaluate the effect of seasonal variability on the assisted reproductive technique (art) success rate. materials and methods: this study was a descriptive – analytical survey performed on 91 infertile women undergoing  intracytoplasmic sperm injection – embryo transfer (icsi-et) in different seasons. the patients aged less than 35 years old and had normal lh/fsh r...

Here we report the preparation of high performance Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells (QDSCs) based on PbS-CdS co-sensitized nanoporous TiO2 electrodes. QDs were directly grown on the TiO2 mesostructure by the Successive Ionic Layer Absorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique. This method is characterized by a fast deposition rate which involves random crystal growth and poor control of the defec...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and effects of single-incision laparoscopic anterior resection (SILAR) for sigmoid colon cancer by comparing it with conventional laparoscopic anterior resection (CLAR). METHODS Twenty-four patients who underwent SILAR between April 2010 and July 2011 were case matched 1:2 with patients who underwent CLAR, with respect to age, sex...

background: more and more infertile patients have accepted the assisted reproductive technique (art) therapy. concerns have been raised over an increased risk of adverse maternal outcomes in art populations as compared with natural conception (nc). objective: the aim was to improve the art in clinicial work and to reduce the incidence of pregnancy complications in art group according to analyzi...

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film have been deposited using Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) technique, which is based on alternate dipping of substrate in the solution and deionized water. The thin film was grown on glass substrate. The precursor for ZnO film was diluted aqueous solution of ZnSo4 complex with NH3. The film was investigated by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron...

SILAR deposited copper tin sulfide (Cu2SnS3) thin films were used to analyze the study of electrochemical impedance, capacitancevoltage characteristics and currentvoltage characteristics. The photoconversion efficiency of SILAR deposited CTS thin film-based photoelectrochemical cell elucidate with the help of capacitance-Voltage (C-V) Characteristics study by MottSchottky plot and corresponding...
