In this work, ultrafine SnO2 nanoparticles were prepared by a facile solvothermal route using SnCl4.5H2O as initial materials. Phase compositions and microstructures of as-prepared have been investigated X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the particle size analyzer. It was found that obtained with good dispersibility exhibited pure rutile structural phase an average cr...

The development of new heterostructures with high photoactivity is a breakthrough for the limitation solar-driven water splitting. Here, we first introduce indium oxide (In2O3) nanorods (NRs) as novel electron transport layer bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) short charge diffusion length. In2O3 NRs reinforce and hole blocking BiVO4, surpassing state-of-the-art photoelectrochemical performances BiVO4-ba...

The fabrication of nonenzymatic glucose sensors is essential because the enhancement in selectivity and accuracy these sensors. In this work, we used electrodeposition approach to prepare a CeO2-based electrode for detection. A CeO2 branched-like nanostructure was successfully fabricated by on surface Au substrate at room temperature. effects cyclic voltammetry, CH3COOH content, scan cycle numb...

[ 5 ] Confi nement of plasmon modes to a surface of metal nanostructures under the constraints imposed by the fi nite boundaries of the nanostructure alters their dispersion, only allowing for discrete solutions. In the quasi-static limit, where the wavelength of the excitation light is much larger than the size of the nanostructure, the nan...

beryllium  oxide  (beo)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (tl) properties of  the bulk material  in x and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in tl dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 c...

A novel type of 1D nanostructure with characteristics between those of a solid nanowire and a hollow nanotube, i.e. a peashell-like nanostructure comprising a 1D wire with periodically embedded hollow nanobubbles, is presented for the first time; as an example, MgO peashell-like nanostructures exhibit extraordinary dielectric and magnetization properties.

With attention to the thin film structure of colloidal quantum dot solar cells, in this paper in order to improvement of active layer absorption of them, we have proposed the use of nanostructure pattern for enhancement of their performance. For this purpose we have presented suitable nano hemisphare patterns in colloidal quantum dot solar cells for light trapping in absorption layer. Then with...
