Quantum Dot Solar Cells. Semiconductor Nanocrystals as Light Harvesters
TL;DR: In this paper, three major ways to utilize semiconductor dots in solar cell include (i) metal−semiconductor or Schottky junction photovoltaic cell, (ii) polymer−smiconductor hybrid solar cell, and (iii) quantum dot sensitized solar cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
TiO2-Graphene Nanocomposites. UV-Assisted Photocatalytic Reduction of Graphene Oxide
TL;DR: The photocatalytic methodology not only provides an on-demand UV-assisted reduction technique but also opens up new ways to obtain photoactive graphene-semiconductor composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meeting the Clean Energy Demand: Nanostructure Architectures for Solar Energy Conversion
TL;DR: In this article, three major ways to utilize nanostructures for the design of solar energy conversion devices are discussed: (i) mimicking photosynthesis with donor−acceptor molecular assemblies or clusters, (ii) semiconductor assisted photocatalysis to produce fuels such as hydrogen, and (iii) nanostructure semiconductor based solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalysis with TiO2/Gold Nanocomposites. Effect of Metal Particle Size on the Fermi Level Equilibration
TL;DR: The size-dependent shift in the apparent Fermi level of the TiO(2)-Au composite shows the ability of Au nanoparticles to influence the energetics by improving the photoinduced charge separation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photophysical, photochemical and photocatalytic aspects of metal nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, a photoactive molecule (e.g., pyrene) is added to a metal nanoparticle to enhance the photochemical activity and render the organic−inorganic hybrid nanoassemblies suitable for light harvesting and optoelectronic applications.
