Plasmonic light harvesting of dye sensitized solar cells by Au-nanoparticle loaded TiO₂nanofibers

Sonophotocatalytic (42kHz) degradation of Simazine in the presence of Au–TiO2 nanocatalysts

“…Fig. 6a shows the Raman analysis of the TiO 2 and Au-TiO 2 nanocatalysts, the appearance of the Raman peaks at 639 cm −1 (E g ), 514 cm −1 (B 1g ) and 395 cm −1 (A 1g ) can be assigned to the anatase phase of titania [25]. Raman analysis of the pure gold nanoparticles cannot show any characteristic peaks or in other words the gold nanoparticles has not shown any response against the Raman spectral analysis.…”

Atomically Precise Noble Metal Clusters Harvest Visible Light to Produce Energy

“…‐ QCs can be utilized as substitutes for the dyes in DSCs as they also have the potential for absorbing light in the visible region and show high stability to visible and infrared light The plasmonic effect of noble metals can help in the enhancement in the performance of solar cells ,…”

A triple-layered, hierarchical 1D core–shell nanostructure with a plasmonic Ag octahedral core for use in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

“…14,15 Although many noble metals have been considered valuable materials, their nanoparticle forms have attracted more interest due to special properties such as catalytic activity and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). 17,18 Because of the observed extinction property (absorption + scattering), plasmonic nanoparticles have often been used in solar cells [19][20][21] or photocatalysts to enhance performance. Furthermore, the absorption spectrum strongly depends on the size, shape and other attributes of the particles.…”
