Abstract

The effect of Zr doping on the Tc, Tlum and ΔTsol values of VO2.

The effect of TiO2 surface modification on the photovoltaic properties of hybrid bulk heterojunction solar cells based on MEH-PPV/CdS/TiO2 active layer

“…The corresponding results are shown in Figure 3. The FTIR bands at 2850-2920 cm -1 are attributed to the asymmetric and symmetric C-H stretching vibrations of methylene groups, the vibration at 1465 cm -1 is a characteristic of -(CH 2 ) n -chains with n > 3, the small peaks at 3004 cm -1 correspond to the stretching of C-H bond [27][28][29]. Furthermore, it was observed that the vibration bands at 1710 and 1285 cm -1 , which are the characteristic bands of carbonyl -C = O-and -C-O-stretch in the carboxyl Brought to you by | New York University Bobst Library Technical Services Authenticated Download Date | 6/25/15 6:27 PM results are all in agreement with those already obtained in our previous work [21].…”

The Effect of Mechanical Alloying on the Microhardness and Fracture Toughness of BaTiO3

“…Wereszczak et al [15] measured the fracture toughness of 3 dierent dielectric ceramics as 1 . In the study of Panteny et al [11], monolithic barium titanate gave the fracture toughness value of 2 MPa m 1/2…”

“…The classical ways of preparing titanate (BT) powders involve the reaction between carbonates, oxides, or hydroxides of the constituent elements at high temperatures [1]. BaTiO 3 can be prepared by conventional calcination method, in which a certain amount of BaCO 3 or BaO, and TiO 2 are calcined and then pulverized.…”

Thermoplasmonics-assisted nanoheterostructured Au-decorated CuInS2 nanoparticles: Matching solar spectrum absorption and its application on selective distillation of non-polar solvent systems by thermal solar energy

“…To tackle and broaden absorption ranges of NPs, hybrid NPs such as Fe 3 O 4 /Au, [9] SiO 2 /Fe 2 O 3 -Au, [10] Au/TiO 2 , [11] Au/Pd, [12] SiO 2 /Au, [13][14][15][16] Graphene/Au, [17] Ag/Au, [18] SiO 2 /Ag [19] and VO 2 /Au [20] have been proposed, which provide advantages of equivalent light absorption by an increase of absorption cross-section compared with the counterpart materials NPs, thereby consuming less volume of metal NPs. In addition, superimposing functionalities such as magnetic and optical dual properties can be contributed from hybrid NPs for possible applications at bio-imaging, [9] thermal ablation of bacterium [9] and ambient oxygen-free dehydrogenation of aromatic alcohols by catalytic-thermal plasmonic effect [12].…”
