Hybrid solar cells based on inorganic semiconductors have attracted great attention in recent years as it has special advantages over the conventional fully inorganic or organic solar cells, such as stability, biocompatibility, tunable morphology and low production expense. Among all the inorganic semiconductors, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been proved to be a promising candidate for the...

In the last decades, media have talked a lot about a very serious thematic as environmental and energetic problem. This thesis is going to show the study on CeO2 as one of the possible candidate for both cases. The importance of ceria is given by its ability to store and release oxygen reversible. Main purpose of this work is to understand low temperature oxygen storage capacity (LT OSC)...

In crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions play a crucial role, and give the possibility to create co-crystals. One of these interactions is halogen bond. As an analogue to the hydrogen bonding, it is a non-covalent interaction between covalently bounded halogen atom and Lewis base. This interaction is essentially of electrostatic nature. Indeed, the electron cloud around halogen atom...

Fe3O4 is a well known inverse spinel compound with numerous applications for e.g. MRI contrast enhancement, hyperthermia treatment, drug delivery, etc. With particle sizes on the nano โscale, magnetite becomes chemically active and its electronic and magnetic structure changes as a function of the size. An in situ probe of the Fe electronic structure is possible using hard X-ray spectroscopy...

Silicate mesoporous materials have large surface area and high pore volume, tunable and uniquely distributed pore size within 2-50 nm and highly ordered mesostructures, and therefore they are expected to find applications in fields of adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis, electronics, separation and medicine.
The aim of my research is to investigate the synthesis of functionalized mesoporous...

The water-gas-shift reaction is a promising route to increase H2/CO ratio of reformer gas in order to produce extremely pure H2 gas stream for other applications, such as fuel cells.
H2O + CO โ H2 + CO2 โH_298K=-41.13kJ/mol (1)
Among all the supported catalysts containing nanoparticles of different noble metals, Pt exhibits great activity for water-gas-shift conversion [1]....

The self-assembly of block copolymer thin films may have a significant impact on the emerging nanotechnologies to create, for instance, ultrahigh density storage media or nanotemplates. In this perspective, solvent vapor annealing (SVA) is considered as a practical and reliable technique for the controlled modification of the structures in block copolymer thin films. In previous work, binary...

Self-diffusion, a fundamental matter transport process in materials, is important for preparation, processing, and heat treatment of materials. To investigate the mechanism of self-diffusion, one needs to fabricate structures with proper isotope labeling. In our present work, isotope bilayers of 56Fe/57Fe with two different thicknesses with the purpose of comparing the diffusion process in...

Compared to conventional alloys, oxide-dispersion-strengthened (ODS) ferritic alloys are promising candidate materials for the next generation of nuclear reactors (fusion and fast neutron reactors). They present excellent mechanical resistance at high temperature governed in part by the distribution of nano-oxides in the matrix. These materials are obtained by mechanical alloying and...

Calcium carbonate is the most abundant mineral phase in biological hard tissues. It is today believed that biologically mediated carbonate minerals crystallizes from a precursor phase: amorphous calcium carbonate(ACC). During the transition of precursor ACC to crystallized skeletal material a hydrated ACC form goes through an anhydrous amorphous phase. Carbonate skeletal material is a...

Perovskite type oxides exhibiting ionic or mixed electronic/ionic conductivity are of considerable interest for potential application e.g. solid oxide fuel cells, battery electrodes and sensor materials. SrFeO2.5+x is an important candidate for this type of oxides. A specific lattice dynamics involving low energy phonon modes has been recently identified to be at the origin of high oxygen ion...

CaFeO2.5 and SrCoO2.5 show an ordered deficient Perovskite structure and more specifically with a Brownmillerite type framework. Both are electronically insulating and antiferromagnetically ordered (G-type) with a Nรฉel temperature of about 400ยฐC. SrCoO3 can be obtained from SrCoO2.5 by electrochemical oxidation at ambient temperature, which itself shows metallic behaviour and it becomes...

Supramolecular or self-assembled materials often result from a subtle balance of weak intermolecular interactions yielding to a large variety of ordered and disordered phases with many different physical, chemical or mechanical properties. Alkane urea inclusion compounds (UIC) are molecular composite structures where a "host" framework of urea molecules accommodates "guest" alkane molecules as...

Nanostructured titania thin films are widely used in a variety of applications such as photovoltaics, photocatalysis, and gas sensing. For solar cell applications, a large surface-to-volume ratio of the inorganic semiconductor is needed, because the morphology influences charge carrier transport routes and the exciton dissociation, which occurs at the interface of the inorganic and the organic...

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) working around 1000 โ have drawn a growing interest in the field of energy. To increase durability and reduce the cost of these systems, one way is to lower the operating temperature. As a result, an increasing attention is paid to proton conducting cells whose operating temperatures are between 300 and 600 ยฐC. In particular, a great effort is devoted to improving...

After the discovery of topological insulators, a theoretical model of a new class of unconventional superconductors (topological superconductors) was predicted. One of the most promising materials is Pd doped IrTe2. In our work, we plan to map out the phase transition between the CDW and the normal phase, for temperature above 4K. The details of the CDW distortion will be analyzed in detail as...
