Since ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) possess a variety of intrinsic defects, they can provide a wide
spectrum of visible emission, without adding any impurity or any doping atoms. They are …

ZnO nanostructures (including nano-plates and nano-rods (NRs)) are grown in various
temperatures and Ar/O 2 flow rates using thermal chemical vapor deposition, which affect …

A down-shifting material can generate one low-energy photon for every one incident high-
energy photon. When such a material is placed on the front side of a photovoltaic solar cell …

Flexible inorganic solar cells are nowadays produced commercially on polymer and metal
foils. Many technological enhancements are used to increase their conversion efficiency. In …

Solution-based bottom-gate zinc oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated, remaining
functional and demonstrating stability under extreme gamma irradiation conditions …

Spectrum down-shifting converters based on Cd-free Zn–Cu–In–S (ZCIS)/ZnS core/shell
quantum dots are modeled and simulated for applications in photovoltaics using the Monte …

Well-aligned ZnO nanowire arrays have been prepared, and p-MgZnO has been deposited
onto the nanowires to form core–shell heterostructures. Transmission electron microscopy …

We report about a systematic study of nanocrystalline ZnO which exhibits intensive blue-
green defect luminescence after annealing in reducing atmosphere. The ZnO has been …

ZnO nanotubes have been fabricated through a carbon thermal reduction deposition
process. Structure characterization results show that the ZnO nanotubes have a single …

This dissertation studies the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoparticles and
perovskites for photovoltaic application and will focus on the performance of silicon solar …
