The urgent need for renewable energy solutions requires rapid advancements in materials discovery. In response, we present AURORA, an innovative robotic platform that enhances this process by integrating automated synthesis, characterization, and evaluation into a single unit, thereby improving efficiency reducing errors. Its modular design allows adaptable screening of diverse materials, including metal halide perovskites, their application solar cell devices. Our study demonstrates the...
Immobilised TiO2 mesocrystals were prepared on sanded glass substrates via a solution synthesis of immobilised precursor, followed by thermal treatment which triggered topotactic conversion reaction. The obtained possessed not only anatase nanoparticles with high surface area and co-exposed {1 0 1}/{0 1} facets but also large overall particle size strong binding to the substrate inherited from precursor. unique structural features make material promising candidate as high-efficient separable...
Dye-sensitized solar cells are promising candidates for low-cost indoor power generation applications. However, they currently suffer from complex fabrication and stability issues arising the liquid electrolyte. Consequently, so-called zombie cell was developed, in which electrolyte is dried out to yield a solid through pinhole after assembly. We report method faster, simpler, potentially more reliable production of direct rapid drying on working electrode prior assembly, using an...
Largely improved visible light photocatalytic activities of pristine TiO<sub>2</sub> by constructing stepped structures on exposed {001} facets.
Both NH 4 TiOF 3 and (NH ) 2 were studied experimentally computationally as potential candidates for semiconductor applications. This was exemplified using immobilised photodegradation of organic dyes.

Mesocrystal TiO2 films were obtained via an in situ topotactic transformation using printed NH4TiOF3 as a precursor, and performed well dye sensitised solar cells either single-layer photoanodes or scattering layers.
TiO2 has been widely used in the fields of energy, environment, and biology. Most research focuses on nanosized materials because their high specific area, especially field wastewater treatment. However, there are also a few drawbacks for such as low crystallization degree, troublesome recycling, possible biosafety concerns. All these may hinder large-scale application photocatalysts. In this work, new successive topotactic transformation (from (NH4)2TiOF4 to NH4TiOF3 then TiO2) method was...
The immobilization of titanium dioxide is necessary for several energy and environmental applications such as dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A two‐step fabrication route has been developed in this work including a near room temperature hydrolysis reaction to produce immobilized (NH 4 ) 2 TiOF arrays, followed by successive topotactic transformations immobilised TiO mesocrystals (imcTiO ). Hierarchical mesocrystal structure thereby successfully introduced without the use expensive...
In recent years, chemical sensors have shown the potential to provide rapid, accurate, and on-site quantitative detection of analytes, but current methods often require specialised equipment. this study, a novel dye-sensitised solar cell (DSSC) based sensor is reported for convenient TBHQ in drinking water. The consists gold nanoparticle (AuNP) solution unit that responds concentration produces an electrical signal change via integrated DSSC transducer component. Through analysing generated...
Na2Ti3O7, as one of the most potential anode electrode materials, is expected to play an important role in various fields. In this work, we synthesized uniform hollow octahedral Na2Ti3O7 particles through directly sintering a kind precursors obtained by (NH4)2TiF6 and NH4OH presence sodium-containing cationic polyacrylamide.
