Herein, a new method for synthesizing advanced nanocomposite materials based on tungsten, molybdenum, and titanium oxides by pulsed underwater plasma is reported. This is an environmentally friendly, energy‐saving, and simple method for obtaining bimetallic oxide nanoparticles with inhomogeneous defect structures. The chemical composition and morphology of the obtained particles are explored by electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy. Four types of mixed‐oxide particles of tungsten–molybdenum and tungsten–titanium are synthesized and used to make the photoanodes for dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The best DSSC shows a fill factor of 51% and a short‐circuit current density of 4.8 mA cm−2, resulting in a conversion efficiency of 4.11% and an improvement over the cells prepared from pure titanium or tungsten oxides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
