Gamma irradiation induced modifications in spin coated CdSe thin films

Unveiling the Bifunctional Photo/Electrocatalytic Activity of In Situ Grown CdSe QDs on g-C3N4 Nanosheet Z-Scheme Heterostructures for Efficient Hydrogen Generation

“…Turning to post electrocatalytic characterizations, it is apparent that, the XRD peaks (Figure 8f) are becoming more sharper rather than broadened peaks and the (002) plane appears at 41.2°dominating on all other diffraction planes, confirming the change in the cubic form of the crystal structure which is attributed to the conversion of material in the nanoform. 63 Furthermore, we have observed that the capacitance of the heterostructure material increased after performing the stability test (2000 CV cycles) as seen in the increased area under the CV curve (Figure 8e). In order to better understand this phenomenon, we conducted a galvanostatic charge-discharge (G cd ) experiment on the sample before and after the electrocatalysis.…”

“…Furthermore, the elemental and chemical structure of the material was demonstrated through XPS, Figure S15 illustrates the survey XPS data for the fresh and postphotocatalytic after long-term PC measurements, the XPS peaks for the Cd and Se elements did not change, and no additional alterations were discovered in the C and N elements. Turning to post electrocatalytic characterizations, it is apparent that, the XRD peaks (Figure f) are becoming more sharper rather than broadened peaks and the (002) plane appears at 41.2° dominating on all other diffraction planes, confirming the change in the cubic form of the crystal structure which is attributed to the conversion of material in the nanoform . Furthermore, we have observed that the capacitance of the heterostructure material increased after performing the stability test (2000 CV cycles) as seen in the increased area under the CV curve (Figure e).…”

The characterization of amorphous AZO-n/Si-p hetrojunction diode for solar cell application

“…The reduction of the reflection spectrum after annealing may be due to the nano-scaled morphology of the sample which has improved the light traps. The UV-Vis spectra were inquired by Kubelka-Munk theory to convert thin film reflectance to Kubelka-Munk function (F (R)), by Eq (1) [17][18][19]:…”

“…has attracted considerable attention during the last few decades [1][2][3]. Nanostructures based device require long-term operation in fields of ionizing radiation, at high temperatures and in corrosive environments, therefore nanostructures should have high stability and sensitivity [4,5].…”
