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 ...
Self-healing behavior of epoxy-based double-layer nanocomposite coatings modified with Zirconia nanoparticles
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This work reports the self-healing behavior of epoxy-based double-layer nanocomposite coatings designed to mitigate corrosion in various industrial applications. Zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles were used as a carrier to load ...
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 ...
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 ...
Epoxy coatings modified with a new cerium phosphate inhibitor for smart corrosion protection of steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this work cerium tri(bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate) (Ce(DEHP)3) particles were used as anti-corrosion pigments in epoxy coatings applied on steel coupons. The composition of the corrosion inhibitor was designed to introduce ...
Structural, morphological and optical properties of PEDOT:PSS/QDs nano-composite films prepared by spin-casting
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
This paper describes the structural, morphological and optical properties of the nano-composite of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and quantum dots (QDs). The ZnSe and CdSe QDs have been ...
Multifunctional self-healing polymeric nanocomposite coatings for corrosion inhibition of steel
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The present work focuses on the self-healing and corrosion behavior of novel epoxy based coatings containing epoxy monomer (EM) and dodecylamine (DDA) as self-healing and corrosion inhibitor, respectively. The coating ...
Sodium intercalation/de-intercalation mechanism in Na4MnV(PO4)3 cathode materials
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Na4MnV(PO4)3 is a sodium ion conducting material with a NASICON type crystal structure. This phase is not much known as an electrode material. The present work focuses on the sodium ion intercalation/de-intercalation ...
Designing and performance evaluation of polyelectrolyte multilayered composite smart coatings
(
Elsevier B.V.
