ZnO- and TiO2-Based Nanostructures

Abstract

Transition-metal oxide (TMO) nanostructures are the focus of current research efforts in nanotechnology since they are the most common minerals on Earth, and also thanks to their special shapes, compositions, and chemical and physical properties.[...]

Optical, Photoelectrochemical, and Electrochemical Impedance Studies on Photoactive Organic/Inorganic/Interface Assemblies of Poly 2,2 Bithiophene/Poly 3-(2-Thienyl) Aniline (PThA)/TiO<sub>2</sub>

“…Enhancing the photoelectrical performance of a dye-sensitized solar cell was achieved by doping SrTiO 3 : Sm 3+ /SiO 2 core-shell nanoparticles in the cell's photoanode [7] [17]. Several applications used TiO 2 -based interfaces for water splitting and hydrogen production [8] [15], photocatalysis [9] [13], and solar cells [12]. Involving TiO 2 in photoactive self-cleaning polymer coatings was also recently reported [14] [20].…”
