1. Synthesis of TiO2/ZnO photoanodes on FTO conductive glass for photovoltaic applications
Abstract For oxide semiconductors for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), titanium dioxide conjugated with zinc oxide thin films was synthesized and characterized. The UV (ultraviolet) spectrum characterization showed a peak of absorbance at around 355 nm, with a band gap of 3.25 eV and reflectance around 85%. Such characteristics allowed the

2. Zinc tungstate: a review on its application as heterogeneous photocatalyst
Abstract ZnWO4 crystallizes in a monoclinic wolframite-like structure, which has been studied for applications in heterogeneous photocatalysis for degradation, oxidation, and reduction of various contaminants. This type of tungstate has proved to be an efficient photocatalyst under both ultraviolet and visible light irradiation and, when ZnWO4 forms a hetero

3. Study of electrophoretic deposition of ZnO photoanodes on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)
Abstract Semiconductors, such as zinc oxide (ZnO), are used in different scientific fields, including energy. This study applied ZnO thin films on a photovoltaic cell, specifically a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). ZnO was used in solar cells due to its characteristics such as electronic mobility. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is an efficient method to

4. An Overview of the Photocatalytic H2 Evolution by Semiconductor-Based Materials for Nonspecialists
The solar-to-chemical energy conversion is promising to tackle sustainability challenges toward a global future. The production of H2 from sunlight represents an attractive alternative to the use of carboniferous fossil fuels to meet our energy demands. In this context, the water splitting reaction photocatalyzed by semiconductors that can be excited under v

7. Microstructural Analysis of AgIn5VI8 (VI: S, Se, Te) Ternary Semiconductors by X-Ray Diffraction
This work is a study of the microstructural properties of the polycrystalline ternary compounds AgIn5S8, AgIn5Se8, and AgIn5Te8 by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of the XRD profile is measured as function of the diffraction angle and used to estimate the microstructural parameters. In general, a microstructural characte
