Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum Dot Solar Cells. Tuning Photoresponse through Size and Shape Control of CdSe−TiO2 Architecture
TL;DR: Two major findings are highlighted: ability to tune the photoelectrochemical response and photoconversion efficiency via size control of CdSe quantum dots and improvement in the photoconversions efficiency by facilitating the charge transport through TiO2 nanotube architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avoiding short circuits from zinc metal dendrites in anode by backside-plating configuration.
TL;DR: A backside-plating configuration is shown that enables long-term cycling of zinc metal batteries without shorting and can be applied to not only zinc metal systems but also other metal-based electrodes suffering from internal short circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Li–O2/CO2 battery
TL;DR: A new gas-utilizing battery using mixed gas of O (2) and CO(2) was developed and proved its very high discharge capacity, which reached three times as much as that of a non-aqueous Li-air (O(2)) battery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic Barrier to Electrochemically Decompose Li2CO3 and LiOH
TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic barrier to electrochemically decompose Li2CO3 and LiOH was analyzed and it was shown that the decomposition is rate-limited by the electrochemical extraction of Li+, whereas the chemical release of anions is barrierless once the applied voltage overcomes the energy penalty to generate a Li-deficient surface.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) was evaluated for a half-year and the results showed that DSC modules yearly generated 10-20% more electricity than conventional Si cells of the same rated output power.
