Silver nanoparticle doped TiO2 nanofiber dye sensitized solar cells

Ag nanoparticle-decorated 3D flower-like TiO2 hierarchical microstructures composed of ultrathin nanosheets and enhanced photoelectrical conversion properties in dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Among these metal nanostructures, sliver nanocrystals, in particular, exhibit a highly tunable architecture-dependent optical property knows as localized surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) and easy preparation and lower cost. Moreover, TiO 2 film modified by sliver nanoparticles also improve the electron transport in photoanodes, thereby enhancing the electron supply efficiencies of DSSCs [16,17]. Ihara et al, have reported that when polymer-modified Ag nanoparticles were inserted in the pores of a TiO 2 film in DSSCs, photoelectric conversion efficiency therein was improved significantly by localized surface Plasmon effects [18].…”

Catalytic and biological activities of green silver nanoparticles synthesized from Plumeria alba (frangipani) flower extract

“…Nanotechnology has gained intense attention in the recent past due to its wide application in diverse areas like medicine, catalysis, energy and materials [1][2][3][4]. Particularly nanoparticles with small size to large surface area have potential medical as well as industrial applications [5].…”

Facile one-step process for synthesis of vertically aligned cobalt oxide doped TiO2 nanotube arrays for solar energy conversion

“…Therefore, several approaches have been proposed to modify the optical and the electrical properties of TiO 2 [17,18]. Among those, doping with both metals such as Cu, Co., V, Fe, Cr [14,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and nonmetals like N, H, C [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] aims to shift the absorption of TiO 2 from the UV region to the visible region and the effective utilization of the solar light spectrum.…”
