Myriophyllum -like hierarchical TiN@Ni3N nanowire arrays for bifunctional water splitting catalysts
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
Inspired by Myriophyllum, a natural plant, we report an efficient electrochemical water splitting device based on hierarchical TiN@Ni3N nanowire arrays. The bifunctional TiN@Ni3N nanowire arrays serve as both hydrogen ...
Hybrid transparent conductive electrodes with copper nanowires embedded in a zinc oxide matrix and protected by reduced graphene oxide platelets
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
Transparent conductive electrodes (TCE) were fabricated by combining three emerging nano-materials: copper nanowires (CuNWs), zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-particulate thin films, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) platelets. Whereas ...
From Zirconium Nanograins to Zirconia Nanoneedles
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
Combinations of three simple techniques were utilized to gradually form zirconia nanoneedles from zirconium nanograins. First, a physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering technique was used to deposit pure zirconium ...
Photoelectrochemical Conversion from Graphitic C3N4 Quantum Dot Decorated Semiconductor Nanowires
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the recent progress of developing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a metal-free photocatalyst, the synthesis of nanostructured g-C3N4 has still remained a complicated and time-consuming approach from its bulk ...
Template synthesis of metal tungsten nanowire bundles with high field electron emission performance
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
One-dimensional (1D) metal nanowires are of great importance for nanodevices due to their distinctive optical, electronic and mechanical properties. Here, for the first time, we report a simple H2 reduction-assisted ...
Transparent conducting electrodes based on thin, ultra-long Copper nanowires and graphene nano-composites
(
SPIE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
High aspect-ratio ultra-long (> 70 ?m) and thin (< 50 nm) copper nanowires (Cu-NW) were synthesized in large quantities using a solution-based approach. The nanowires, along with reduced graphene-oxide sheets, were coated ...
Freestanding eggshell membrane-based electrodes for high-performance supercapacitors and oxygen evolution reaction
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
A type of freestanding, light-weight eggshell membrane-based electrode is demonstrated for supercapacitors and for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis. As a widely available daily waste, eggshell membranes have unique ...
Highly transparent low sheet resistance electrodes for solar cell applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
High aspect ratio copper nanowires were synthesized, using a solution-based approach. The nanowires along with reduced graphene oxide thin films were sprayed onto glass and flexible substrates and later annealed in order ...
Ultrahigh Aspect Ratio Copper-Nanowire-Based Hybrid Transparent Conductive Electrodes with PEDOT:PSS and Reduced Graphene Oxide Exhibiting Reduced Surface Roughness and Improved Stability
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Copper nanowires (CuNWs) with ultrahigh aspect ratio are synthesized with a solution process and spray-coated onto select substrates to fabricate transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs). Different annealing methods are ...
Metal nanowire-graphene composite transparent electrodes
(
SPIE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Silver nanowires with 40 nm diameter and copper nanowires with 150 nm diameter were synthesized using low-temperature routes, and deposited in combination with ultrathin graphene sheets for use as transparent conductors. ...
