Chemical Sensing Performance of Flower-Like ZnO/PSi Nanostructures via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Technique
摘要： ZnO nanostructures were synthesized on porous Si (PSi) structures using a method developed by this study known as electric field-assisted aqueous solution technique. The detailed characterization of this nanostructure was performed using atomic force microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, room-temperature photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique was used to detect two classifications of chemical solvents, namely polar and non-polar solvents. Nyquist plots in EIS were utilized to detect chemical solvents (ethanol, acetone, toluene and benzene) exposed to ZnO/PSi nanostructure arrays. The results showed that the grown flower-like ZnO nanostructure arrays served as good chemical sensors with high sensitivity and low power consumption. Meanwhile, the ZnO/PSi nanoflowers exposed to ethanol showed the highest sensitivity (94.6% response) compared to other chemical solutions with the least response exhibited by benzene (68.4% response). It was postulated that the interaction between the solution and oxygen species of ZnO/PSi nanostructure surface induced a resistance change resulting in the release of free electrons that migrated to the conduction band of ZnO/PSi nanoflower structures and reduced the number of surface-adsorbed oxygen species. Subsequently, the changes observed in the Nyquist semicircle diameter and Warburg impedance led to the chemical sensing response.

Morphological expedient flower like nanostructures WO3–TiO2 nanocomposite material and its multi applications
摘要： The prepare WO3 -TiO2 nanocomposite material has been successfully achieved precipitation route and sonication technique. The experimental results expose that 400 °C of WO3–TiO2 nanocomposite material exhibited the higher photoatalytic activity for the degradation of azo dye Acid block 1(AB 1) under UV-Light. This nanocomposite material was characterized by High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) with elementary dispersive X-ray (EDX), High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), XRD analysis, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), UV–Vis DRS and BET. The HR-SEM images reveal that most nanoflower are linked together by an edge-to-flat-surface combination. EDX studies that Ti, O and W are in higher mediation. The HR-TEM images indicate nanorod structure. As a reaction of this nanoparticle was found to be stable and reusable. This nanoparticle was antibacterial activity and electrochemical activity showed highest activity by WO3–TiO2 compared that of TiO2 nanocomposite material was reported.

One-Pot Synthesis of Flower like FeS2 as Counter Electrode for Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
摘要： Counter electrodes plays significant role in electron transport in photovoltaics and an ideal counter electrode should have high electrocatalytic activity, cost effective, high performance stability. With this concern, an easy fabrication process is also necessary for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). Iron disulfide (FeS2) is an earth-abundant, non toxic and low-cost material and We report a facile one-pot hydrothermal method for the growth of flower like FeS2, which is used as a high efficient counter electrode for QDSSCs. FESEM images show the flower like morphology and XRD pattern confirms the formation of iron pyrite phase. UV-visible absorption spectrum showed absorption in the visible region. QDSSC with FeS2 nanoflower as counter electrode exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 1.174 % with a Voc of 1.368.

Facile preparation of nanoflower structured WO3 thin film on etched titanium substrate with high photoelectrochemical performance
摘要： In this study, a nanoflower structured WO3 thin film has been prepared on an etched titanium substrate using a WO3 seeds-assisted hydrothermal reaction method. The WO3 nanoflower-like structure appeared when the growth time arrived at 4.75 h. Subsequently, this film went into a rapid growth stage. The nanoflower (NF) structured WO3 thin film with 8 h of hydrothermal reaction possessed the best photoelectrochemical performance. The photoinduced current density was 2.0 mA·cm?2 at a bias potential of 1.23 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) under the illumination by a simulated sunlight (100 mW/cm2) with a filter air mass (AM) 1.5 G. The improvement of the photoelectrochemical performance of the nanoflower structured WO3 can be attributed to three aspects. Firstly, the light absorption capacity could be increased by the nanoflower structure. Secondly, the reactive sites could be enhanced due to the increased specific surface area of the nanoflower structured WO3. Finally, a direct transfer channel for the photogenerated electrons could be formed by the definite 2-dimentional WO3 nanoflakes linked with the Ti substrate.

Au/CdSe hybrid nanoflowers: a high photocurrent generating photoelectrochemical cells
摘要： Photoelectrochemical cell composed of solution-processed nanoflower heterostructure of Au core and eight CdSe petals was investigated for enhanced photocurrent generation. The electrode of CdSe nanorods displayed photocurrent density of 2.1 mA/cm2 whereas the Au core CdSe nanoflower exhibited 4.6 mA/cm2 corresponding to a 119% increase during photoelectrochemical cell performance. Both electrodes showed prompt response to the on/off cycles of light, the photocurrent gain (IPhoton/Idark) in CdSe nanorods is 124.7, while the value is 223.3 for Au/CdSe nanoflower, calculated from the growth-decay curves. Photoresponse time was dramatically improved for Au/CdSe nanoflower samples due to increasing in 66% incident photon-to-current emission. Electron lifetime of 21.63 and 48.71 ns was observed for the electrode of CdSe nanorods and Au/CdSe nanoflowers respectively. The prolonged electron lifetime in the case of the electrode of Au/CdSe nanoflowers was responsible for improving charge separation and as a consequence, higher photocurrent generation.
