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 ...

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...

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...

Cadmium sulfide (CdS) photosensitizers were successfully formed on the mesoporous titania films using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method in five cycles, and the effects of particles size distribution and their occupied surface area on the morphology, topography, optical property, and photovoltaic performance were investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) im...

CdSe quantum dots were in situ deposited on various structures of TiO2 photoanode by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Various sensitized TiO2 structures were integrated as a photoanode in order to make quantum dot sensitized solar cells. High power conversion efficiency was obtained; 2.89 % (Voc=524 mV, Jsc=9.78 mA/cm2, FF=0.56) for the cells that sensitized by SILAR meth...

The growth of highly textured Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films with a preferred (101) orientation has been prepared by employing Successive ionic layer growth by Adsorption Reaction (SILAR) using a sodium zincate bath on glass substrates has been reported. Morphology of the films were found to be varying well from stacked nanorods to shoots of nanotubes and clustered spherical and hilly morphology w...

TiO2 nanorod arrays (TiO2 NRAs) sensitized with CdS nanoparticles were fabricated via successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and TiO2 NRAs were obtained by oxidizing Ti NRAs obtained through oblique angle deposition. The TiO2 NRAs decorated with CdS nanoparticles exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties under visible light, and the one decorated with...

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...

Enhancing the charge transfer process in nanocrystal sensitized solar cells is vital for the improvement of their performance. In this work we show a means of increasing photo-induced ultrafast charge transfer in successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) CdS-TiO2 nanocrystal heterojunctions using pulsed laser sintering of TiO2 nanocrystals. The enhanced charge transfer was attribut...

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...
