The controlled synthesis of nanohybrids composed noble metals and metal oxides have received considerable attention for applications in photocatalysis, solar cells, drug delivery, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy many other important areas.
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), as low-cost photovoltaic devices compared to conventional silicon cells, have received widespread attention in recent years; although much work is required reach optimal device efficiencies. This review highlights developments DSSCs and their key components, including the photoanode, sensitizer, electrolyte counter electrode.
Concerns over air quality reduction and energy crisis resulting from rapid consumption of limited fossil fuels have driven the development clean renewable sources.
The development of efficient photocatalysts for the degradation organic pollutants and production hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) is an attractive two-in-one strategy to address environmental remediation concerns chemical resource demands. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 possesses unique electronic optical properties. However, bulk g-C3 suffers from inefficient sunlight absorption low carrier mobility. Once exfoliated, ultrathin nanosheets attain much intriguing photocatalytic activity. Herein,...
Plasmonics has remained a prominent and growing field over the past several decades. The coupling of various chemical photo phenomenon sparked considerable interest in plasmon-mediated photocatalysis. Given plasmonic photocatalysis only been developed for relatively short period, progress made improving absorption across full solar spectrum efficiency photo-generated charge carrier separation. With recent advances fundamental (i.e., mechanisms) experimental studies influence size, geometry,...
A rapid and highly efficient strategy for introducing C into g-C3 N4 involves copolymerizing π-electron-rich barbituric acid with melamine via a facile microwave-assisted heating, thereby eliminating the issues in conventional electric furnace such as severe volatilization, owing to mismatch of sublimation temperatures melamine.
