(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The present work designs a piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) based on the electrospun nanofibers of the piezoelectric polymer, polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP), by uniformly drawing the spun membranes ...
Interfacial engineering for high performance organic photovoltaics
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article Review)
In the past two decades, bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have gained tremendous attention due to its intrinsic merits of cheap, flexible, clean and high throughput manufacturing processibility and ...
One-pot microwave-assisted green synthesis of amine-functionalized graphene quantum dots for high visible light photocatalytic application
(
Elsevier Masson SAS
, 2019 , Article)
Nowadays, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have gained a huge interest in the field of visible-range photocatalysts because of their tunable band gap and stable photochemical properties. In this work, amine-functionalized GQDs ...
X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopic analyses for intercalative nanohybrids with low crystallinity
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article Review)
Intercalation reactions can be achieved through ion-exchange, pillaring, and exfoliation-reassembling reactions to explore new intercalation compounds with desired electronic, electrochemical, and optical functions. Such ...
