The same equation was derived from two different impedance models based on the quite physical descriptions proposed by Kern et al.(1) and Bisquert.(2,3) Reliable values of parameters relating to electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells can be determined measured spectra electrochemical spectroscopy when careful analysis is done classification clarification consequent models. requisites for making highly efficient were proposed.
In this study, single-crystal-like anatase TiO(2) nanowires were formed in a network structure by surfactant-assisted self-assembling processes at low temperature. The crystal lattice planes of the and networks such wires composed many nanoparticles almost perfectly aligned with each other due to "oriented attachment" mechanism, resulting high rate electron transfer through nanonetwork nanowires. direction growth oriented attachment was controlled changing mole ratio acetylacetone Ti, that...
Highly crystalline TiO2 nanorods with lengths of 100−300 nm and diameters 20−30 have been synthesized by a hydrothermal process in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant solution.

The next-generation application of pressure sensors is gradually being extended to include electronic artificial skin (e-skin), wearable devices, humanoid robotics and smart prosthetics. In these advanced applications, high sensing capability an essential feature for performance. Although surface patterning treatments some special elastomeric interlayers have been applied improve sensitivity, the process complex this inevitably raises cost obstacle large-scale production. present study a...

Large-scale silver nanowire (AgNW) mesh films have received increasing attention as new transparent conductive used in various printed devices. However, there are two crucial issues implementing AgNWs that need to be addressed: (1) strong adhesion between AgNW film and substrate (2) high conductivity with short treatment time for low-cost technology. Here, a high-intensity pulsed light (HIPL) sintering technique, which provides extreme heating locally the at interface polymer substrate,...
Copper nanowire (CuNW) conductors have been considered to a promising perspective in the area of stretchable electronics due low price and high conductivity. However, fabrication CuNW suffers from harsh conditions, such as temperature, reducing atmosphere, time-consuming transfer step. Here, simple rapid one-step photonic sintering technique was developed fabricate on polyurethane (PU) at room temperature air environment. It observed that CuNWs were instantaneously deoxidized, welded...
Transparent electrode based on silver nanowires (AgNWs) emerges as an outstanding alternative of indium tin oxide film especially for flexible electronics. However, the conductivity AgNWs transparent is still dramatically limited by contact resistance between at high transmittance. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) layer adsorbed nanowire surface acts electrically insulating barrier wire-wire junctions, and some devastating post-treatment methods are proposed to reduce or eliminate PVP layer, which...
The resistance of AgNW films generally increased with storage time.
Silver nanowire (AgNW) films with a random mesh structure have attracted considerable attention as high-performance flexible transparent electrodes that can replace the expensive and brittle ITO-sputtered widely used in displays, touch screens, solar cells. Methods such heating, pressure treatment, light treatment are usually to obtain an optically electrically conductive film comparable those of commercial ITO. However, adhesion between AgNW substrate is so weak other overcoatings or extra...
A novel die-attach material, Cu particle paste with self-reduction and self-protection characteristics, was designed by simply adding ascorbic acid (AA) into paste. The characteristic is due to the addition of AA paste, as it reduces oxide layer on metal Cu, even at room temperature. decomposition preventing further oxidation during sintering process. These characteristics are beneficial for particles enhancing bondability. increase bonding strength direct result concentration in joints...
