Self-healing performance of multifunctional polymeric smart coatings
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Multifunctional nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by reinforcing a polymeric matrix with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with corrosion inhibitor (NaNO3) and urea formaldehyde microcapsules (UFMCs) encapsulated ...
Synthesis and properties of electrodeposited Ni–B–CeO2 composite coatings
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Ni–B coatings are extremely hard and wear resistant with decent anticorrosion properties which make them suitable for automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, plastic, optics, nuclear, electronics, computer, textile, paper, ...
Flexible thermo-electrochemical cells using Iodolyte HI-30 for conversion of low-grade heat to electrical energy
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
In this research work, we investigated the flexible thermo-electro chemical cells (TECs) for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical energy in the temperature range of 20–70 °C. The TECs were fabricated using 30 ...
Impact of moisture contents on the performance of organic bi-layer ITO/OD thermo-electric cells
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
We propose a bi-layer thermo-electric cell based on elastic indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate and organic semiconductor orange dye (OD). It is observed that thermo-electric voltages are ~30% higher in bi-layer ITO/OD cell ...
Instability in CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells due to elemental migration and chemical composition changes
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2017 , Article)
Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have rapidly grown as favorable materials for photovoltaic applications, but accomplishing long-term stability is still a major research problem. This work demonstrates a new insight ...
A BHJ-thin-film/liquid-electrolyte based electrochemical-sensor for visible light-detection
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
The current study presents a new type of inexpensive and very sensitive bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photo-sensor (OPS) configuration that incorporates a layer of liquid electrolyte into the conventional BHJ photodiode ...
Study of a ternary blend system for bulk heterojunction thin film solar cells
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In this research, we report a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell consisting of a ternary blend system. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) P3HT is used as a donor and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM) plays the role ...
Electro-sprayed PVA coating with texture-enriched surface morphology for augmented humidity sensing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
This article reports the modified surface morphology of Poly-vinyl Alcohol (PVA) films using electro-spraying coating technique. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to examine ...
Integration of the inexpensive CuNWs based transparent counter electrode with dye sensitized photo sensors
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
We demonstrate, a newly developed, inexpensive transparent conducting electrode (TCE) based on copper nanowires (CuNWs) combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate ...
n-InAs based photo-thermo-electrochemical cells for conversion of solar to electrical energy
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper presents the photo-thermo-electrochemical (PEC) response of various combinations of the n-type indium arsenide (n-InAs) photo-electrode with different counter electrodes, i.e., Ag, Al, Cu, Pb, Zn and ITO. The ...
