The nanostructured anatase TiO2 with high thermal stability was prepared by polymeric sol-gel method without any additives. The particle size distribution of polymeric titania sol was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Then properties of obtained titania were investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, FESEM and TEM. Also, the decolorization capability of resultant anatase was evaluated using methy...

Solar cells were prepared on glass substrates sputtered with ITO (Psiotec Ltd), which were cleaned in acetone and isopropanol in an ultrasonic bath. Next, a planar TiO2 and also a SnS layer were prepared as described above. Afterwards, the nanostructured SnS layer was infiltrated with P3HT (Plexcore OS 2100) by spin coating a P3HT solution (17.25 mg in chlorobenzene) onto the SnS layer having a...

Nanopowders of Al2O3, TiO2 and MgO were fabricated by high energy ball milling. The simutaneous synthesis and sintering of nanostuctured MgAl2O4-Mg3Al4Ti3O25 composite was investigated by the pulsed current activated sintering process. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibition of grain growth. A highly dense nanostructure...

Multicomponent oxides and their heterostructures are rapidly emerging as promising light absorbers to drive oxidative chemistry. To fully exploit their functionality, precise tuning of their composition and structure is crucial. Here, we report a novel solution-based route to nanostructured bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) that facilitates the assembly of BiVO4/metal oxide (TiO2, WO3, and Al2O3) nanoco...
