Synthesis of TiO2 Nanotube Arrays for Hydrogen Production from Photo-Assisted Water Splitting Reaction

Kawde A.Y., Vats A., Shende R.V., Puszynski J.A., South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, US

This study focuses on the synthesis of TiO2 nanotube arrays and its application for hydrogen generation from photo-assisted water-splitting reaction. In the synthesis approach, an nt-TiO2/Ti/nt-TiO2 structure was synthesized using electrochemical anodization in fluorine (F-) [...]

Mesoporous TiO2 thin-film for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) Applicationv

Vats A., Shende R., Swiatkiewicz J., Puszynski J., South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, US

The DSSC is a low-cost device as compared with the conventional ‘p-n’ junction devices. This device utilizes about 5 m thick film of TiO2 nanocrystals to form a ‘bulk’ junction with a large surface area [...]

Formation of Pyrophoric _-Fe Nanoparticles from Fe(II)-Oxalate

Shende R., Vats A., Doorenbos Z., Kapoor D., Puszynski J., South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, US

The formation of pyrophoric Fe-nanoparticles from Fe(II)-oxalate decomposition under H2 atmosphere was the main objective of this research. Iron oxalate was synthesized by controlled nucleation process involving addition of oxalic acid in the FeCl2.2H2O solution [...]
