Journal ArticleDOI
Band-Edge Engineered Hybrid Structures for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on SnO2 Nanowires
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that SnO2 nanowire-based dye-sensitized solar cells exhibit an open circuit voltage of 560mV, which is 200mV higher than that using nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid Tin Oxide Nanowires as Stable and High Capacity Anodes for Li-Ion Batteries
Praveen Meduri,Chandrashekhar Pendyala,Vivekanand Kumar,Gamini Sumanasekera,Mahendra K. Sunkara +4 more
TL;DR: This report presents a simple and generic concept involving metal nanoclusters supported on metal oxide nanowires as stable and high capacity anode materials for Li-ion batteries, which exhibited an exceptional capacity over hundred cycles with a low capacity fading of less than 1% per cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoelectrochemical activity of as-grown, α-Fe2O3 nanowire array electrodes for water splitting
Boris D. Chernomordik,Harry B. Russell,Uroš Cvelbar,Jacek B. Jasinski,Vivekanand Kumar,Todd G. Deutsch,Mahendra K. Sunkara +6 more
TL;DR: A two-step method involving high temperature nucleation followed by growth at low temperature is shown to produce a highly dense and uniform coverage of nanowire arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas-Phase, Bulk Production of Metal Oxide Nanowires and Nanoparticles Using a Microwave Plasma Jet Reactor
Vivekanand Kumar,Jeong H. Kim,Chandrashekhar Pendyala,Boris D. Chernomordik,Mahendra K. Sunkara +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, gas-phase production of metal oxide nanowires (NWs) and nanoparticles (NPs) using direct oxidation of micron-size metal particles in a high-throughput, atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet reactor was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkali-Assisted, Atmospheric Plasma Production of Titania Nanowire Powders and Arrays
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas-phase method for synthesizing highly crystalline titanate phase nanowires (NWs) using oxidation of either Ti metal (foils or powders) or spherical TiO2 powders with an atmospheric pressure microwave plasma is presented.
