Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) belong to the group of thin-film solar cells which have
been under extensive research for more than two decades due to their low cost, simple …

Between 2004 and 2030 the annual global consumption of energy is estimated to rise by
more than 50%. 1 Assuming current policies and practices remain in place, most of the …

Nanostructured carbon materials doped with a variety of heteroatoms have shown promising
electrocatalytic activity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, understanding of …

Polymer and organic solar cells degrade during illumination and in the dark. This is in
contrast to photovoltaics based on inorganic semiconductors such as silicon. Long …

Conjugated polymers are attractive semiconductors for photovoltaic cells because they are
strong absorbers and can be deposited on flexible substrates at low cost. Cells made with a …

A method for growing vertical ZnO nanowire arrays on arbitrary substrates using either gas-
phase or solution-phase approaches is presented. A∼ 10 nm-thick layer of textured ZnO …

The past decade has witnessed increasing attention in the synthesis, properties, and
applications of one‐dimensional (1D) conducting polymer nanostructures. This overview first …

The need to develop and deploy large-scale, cost-effective, renewable energy is becoming
increasingly important. In recent years photovoltaic (PV) cells based on nanoparticles …

We report on the effect of nanoparticle morphology and interfacial modification on the
performance of hybrid polymer/zinc oxide photovoltaic devices. We compare structures …

We have systematically investigated the effects of surface modification of titania (TiO 2) in
hybrid TiO 2∕ regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) photovoltaic cells. By employing …
