“…Eg of a direct band gap semiconductor material can be estimated by several different methods, such as external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the completed device [28], photoluminescence and transmission measurements [29]. The band gap determined by EQE is enlarged by 0.043 eV with Ag incorporation [24].…”

Bismuth selenide, Bi 2 Se 3 , nanoparticles were synthesized by a new precursor complex, [bis(salicylate)bismuth(II)]; [Bi 2 (Hsal) 3 ], via a sonochemical method in an aqueous solution. The average diameter of the Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles was 25 nm. The efficiency of the Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for the decolorization of rhodamine-B and methylene blue using ultraviolet light irradiation has been evaluated. Furthermore, a preliminary study on the possibility of developing a solar cell having the FTO/TiO 2 /Bi 2 Se 3 /Pt-FTO structure was also investigated to produce an inexpensive solar cell by Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles. Products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and EDX analysis.

A novel two-step sol-gel method was used in order to synthesize PbTiO 3 nanoparticles with aid of Pb(CH 3 COO) 2 Á2H 2 O, and Ti(OC 4 H 9 ) 4 (TNBT) as the starting reagents in the presence of ethanol as the solvent. To the best of authors knowledge, it is first time that benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid [C 6 H 3 (COOH) 3 ] (trimesic acid) use as a chelate agent in produce lead titanate nanoparticles. Besides, to examine the effect of some reaction parameters such as surfactants, reaction temperature, and molar ratio of TNBT to trimesic acid on the morphology and chemical structure of final products several tests were performed. The as-synthesized PbTiO 3 nanoparticle was utilized as photo-anode material for the fabrication of FTO/PbTiO 3 /CdS/Pt-FTO and photocatalyst for decolonization of rhodamine-B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) to investigation its light harvesting applications. Furthermore, according to the XRD results, only in the presence of trimesic acid as the chelate agent pure PbTiO 3 nanoparticle was synthesized. The photocatalyst results reveal that the maximum decolorization of 88 and 82 % for RhB and MB occurred with PbTiO 3 nanoparticles catalyst in 40 min of stirring under ultraviolet light irradiation, respectively.
