“…The current density-voltage (j-v) characteristics of DSSCs fabricated using carbon nano-sphere deposited at 90 s are shown in Figure 6 =(FF x Jsc x Voc)/Pin (1) Where is the conversion efficiency, Voc is the open-circuit voltage, Jsc is the short circuit density, FF is fill factor and Pin is the incident light power (100MW/cm 2 ). The value of the FF can be extracted using the equation FF=Vmax Jmax/Voc (2) Where V max and J max are the maximum voltage and photocurrent of the fabricated devices.…”

“…Ever since Iijima discovered carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 [1], there have been intensive research interest into carbon-based nanomaterials due to their exceptional mechanical, optical and electrical properties [2]. For example, one of the greatest feature of CNTs is that the electronic property can be adjusted from semiconductor to metallic by varying its chiralities [3,4].…”

In this paper, a simple and inexpensive method of preparing carbon-based nanomaterials via Co-based catalyst has been demonstrated. It was shown by various optical and structural characterization that well-graphitized carbon nanosphere can be prepared using the proposed process. Through the data extracted from Raman spectra, it was found that the asdeposited samples showed much lower Id/Ig than previously reported candle-synthesized carbon nanomaterials. Furthermore, under optimized condition, it was found that low resistivity sample can be produced which could be potentially useful in applications as counter electrode in dye sensitize solar cells

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood have been recognized as a general biomarker for diagnosing cancer and providing guidance for personalized treatments. Yet due to their rarity, the challenge for their clinical utility lies in the efficient isolation while avoiding the capture of other non-targeted white blood cells (WBCs). In this paper, a wavy-herringbone (HB) microfluidic chip coated with antibody directly against epithelial cell adhesion molecule (anti-EpCAM) was developed for highly efficient and selective isolation of tumor cells from tumor cell-spiked whole blood samples. By extending the concept of the hallmark HB-Chip in literature, the wavy-HB chip not only achieves high capture efficiency (up to 85.0%) by micro-vortexes induced by HB structures, but also achieves high purity (up to 39.4%) due to the smooth wavy microstructures. These smooth wavy-HB structures eliminate the ultra-low shear rate regions in the traditional grooved-HB structures that lead to non-specific trapping of cells. Compared with the grooved-HB chip with sharp corners, the wavy-HB chip shows a significantly higher purity while maintaining similarly high capture efficiency. Furthermore, the wavy-HB chip has up to 11% higher captured cell viability over the grooved-HB chip. The distributions of tumor cells and WBCs along the grooves and waves are investigated to help understand the mechanisms behind the better performance of the wavy-HB chip. The wavy-HB chip may serve as a promising platform for CTC capture and cancer diagnosis.

“…Because of oxidizing feature of glass surface coating, any artifact is broken on the surface and converted to inorganic aqua-soluble material. Raining or water spraying on surface destructs surface of contaminator particles and causes to their collapse, for their hydrophobic property [75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84].…”
