The increasing human need for clean and renewable energy has stimulated research in
artificial photosynthesis, and in particular water photoelectrolysis as a pathway to hydrogen …

Metal chalcogenide thin films preparation by chemical methods are currently attracting
considerable attention as it is relatively inexpensive, simple and convenient for large area …

The theoretical concepts, experimental tools, and applications of surface photovoltage (SPV)
techniques are reviewed in detail. The theoretical discussion is divided into two sections …

Discussing specific depositions of a wide range of semiconductors and properties of the
resulting films, Chemical Solution Deposition of Semiconductor Films examines the …

We explain the cause for the photocurrent and photovoltage in nanocrystalline, mesoporous
dye-sensitized solar cells, in terms of the separation, recombination, and transport of …

We review the status of the understanding of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC),
emphasizing clear physical models with predictive power, and discuss them in terms of the …

The ability to adjust the mechanical, optical, magnetic, electric, and chemical properties of
materials via the quantum confinement effect is well-understood. Here, we provide the first …

The possibility of obtaining a detailed picture of the electronic structure makes surface
photovoltage spectroscopy (SPS) eminently suitable for bridging the gap between the …

Chemical bath deposition (CBD) has been used to deposit films of metal sulfides, selenides
and oxides, together with some miscellaneous compounds, beginning nearly 140 years ago …

Silver nanoparticles coated with a uniform, thin shell of titanium dioxide are synthesized via
a remarkably simple one-pot route, where the reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 and the controlled …
