Fabrication and Characterization of ZnS based Photoelectrochemical Solar Cell

Recent Advances in the Growth and Characterizations of SILAR-Deposited Thin Films

“…Further, the reduction of the intensity due to the concentration of sulfur increased [39]. The deposition of thin films onto fluorine-doped tin oxide glass was reported by Mana and co-workers [40]. The band gap reduced from 3.62 to 3.5 eV when increasing the deposition cycle (40 to 70 cycles).…”

“…The films were produced under various immersion cycles (30,40,50, and 60) by using cadmium chloride, sodium selenosulfate (Na 2 SeSO 3 ), and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) (complexing agent) [95]. Generally, homogeneous morphology and the hexagonal phase could be seen in all samples.…”

“…Hydrazine hydrate was added to the beaker during the experiment to improve the precipitation of CdTe on the substrates. The reaction mechanism was reported as indicated in Equations ( 39) and (40).…”

Co3O4 nanoparticle-dotted hierarchical-assembled carbon nanosheet framework catalysts with the formation/decomposition mechanisms of Li2O2 for smart lithium–oxygen batteries

“…Energy shortage and environmental problems have led to a positive search in energy consumption and conservation. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Among multitudinous types of storage and conversion technologies, rechargeable Li-O 2 batteries [21][22][23][24] (LOBs) are regarded as the potential candidates for energy storage owing to their ultra-high theoretical energy density reaching 3600 W h Kg −1 , originating from the process of oxygen being reduced to form lithium peroxide (2Li + O 2 ↔ Li 2 O 2 , 2.96 V vs. Li/Li + ), which is nearly ten times higher than commercialized lithium-ion batteries. [25][26][27] However, in comparison with an ideal reaction process, complex reaction mechanisms and possible by-products exist resulting in challenges [28][29][30] including inferior specific capacity, low round trip energy efficiency, poor cycle performance, which hinder its further development.…”

Recent progress for silver nanowires conducting film for flexible electronics

“…Among them, indium tin oxide (ITO) is a kind of TCF usually prepared by magnetron sputtering (MSP) [ 17 ]. Because of its high transmittance, good conductivity and stability, it has an irreplaceable position in the fields of touch panel, liquid crystal display, solar cell and so on [ 18 – 21 ].…”
