“…In the past decade, much attention was put into electrospinning of TCOs, as a quick way of depositing macroporous and transparent layers of ITO and ATO . This technique relies on forming very thin fibers thanks to applying a strong electric field to a viscous polymer solution.…”
Section: Preparation Of Porous Transparent Conductive Oxidesmentioning
A review on the preparation methods for porous and transparent metal‐oxide electrodes is provided alongside a discussion of existing and possible electrochemical and electroanalytical applications. The elaboration routes include non‐templated particle deposition, template approaches, physical deposition methods, etching and electrospinning. Applications of such materials are mainly found in energy conversion and storage (photovoltaics, water splitting) and electroanalysis.

“…Core-shell nanofibers may also be prepared either by co-spinning or post-spinning dip-coating strategies; and selective thermal treatments yield 1D hollow nanofibers with high aspect ratios. [62][63][64] Blending the dopant into the precursor/polymer solution enables the doping of tin oxide with antimony (Sb) and results in a threeorders of magnitude increase in electrical conductivity of the Sbdoped tin oxide fibers 65 or Fe-doped SnO 2 nanofibers. 66 Electrospun nanofibers may be harvested off the substrate, dispersed in solution, and standard solution processing techniques may be used for device fabrication.…”
Oxide nanowire networks or oxide nanonets leverage some of the exceptional functionalities of one-dimensional nanomaterials along with the fault tolerance and flexibility of interconnected nanowires to creating exciting opportunities in large-area electronics as well as green energy systems. This paper reviews the electronic and optoelectronic properties of these networks and highlights their potential applications in field-effect transistors, optoelectronic devices, and solar cells. Techniques to grow nanowires and their subsequent integration into networks using contact printing and electrospinning are described. Electrical properties of field-effect transistors fabricated from contact printed nanowire networks are discussed, and means of integration of the nanowire networks of heterogenous materials that enable ambipolar device operation are outlined. Photocurrent properties of these nanowires are described, including the dye sensitization of large-bandgap SnO(2) nanowires. The final section deals with the advantages of employing nanowire networks in dye-sensitized solar cells and the dependence of solar cell performance on morphology and surface area.
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.
