A thin film based Cadmium Telluride photovoltaic cell is becoming highly competitive in the electric power industry. The major problem with CdTe large barrier height behind rear contact surface that prevents solar to reach notional efficiency of 32%. buffer layer added get a better result terms by reducing valence at cell. This manuscript presents numerical simulation and optimization ITO/TiO2/...

Conductive polypyrrole–polyaniline/TiO2 nanocomposites (PPy–PANI/TiO2) were prepared by in situ oxidative copolymerization of pyrrole and aniline monomers in the presence of TiO2. For comparison studies, polypyrrole/TiO2 (PPy/TiO2) and polyaniline/TiO2 (PANI/TiO2) were also prepared. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectanc...

In the present work we report on an investigation of TiO(2) nanotube arrays sensitized by low band-gap materials, such as CdS and CdSe, prepared by the one-step spray pyrolysis deposition method, which is very suitable for mass production, and their performance in photoelectrochemical cells.

A significant Au particle size-dependent electrocatalytic effect has been shown in a sandwich type photoelectrochemical solar cell consisting of CdS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized TiO(2) photoelectrodes, Au nanoparticle (NP)-loaded SnO(2) counter electrodes, and a polysulfide electrolyte solution intervening between the electrodes.

The characterization of mixed oxides of TiO2/SiO2 and TiO2/Al2O3 prepared by sol-gel methods is described. Application of the TiO2/Al2O3 material for the photocatalytic decomposition of salicylic acid gave improved activity relative to TiO2-only materials. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2/SiO2, TiO2/Al2O3, and TiO2 toward the photocatalytic decomposition of phenol demonstrated the enhancemen...
