The interactions between Au clusters and graphene sheets with and without doping have been studied systematically. It is found that B-doped graphene is a good support for Au clusters, not only because of the charge transfer from the graphene sheet to its supported Au clusters, but also due to its stronger interaction…

Here we demonstrate a facile approach to grow uniform and large area single layer graphene directly over polycrystalline metal foil from fullerene, where fullerene molecules formed rod-like polycrystals in the toluene solvent. The generated pressure on sandwich structures has enhanced the density (scalable) as well as…

Porphyrins have attracted much attention as dyes for photovoltaic applications due to their remarkable light harvesting properties and tunability of electronic behaviour. The photophysical and photochemical properties of porphyrins are influenced by electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents that can be at…

Gelatin-capped gold nano particles (GNPs) of diameter 23, 28 and 36 nm were prepared and characterized as almost monodispersed, near-spherical solids. In acidic media, these GNPs at their very low concentration level (∼10(-13) M) catalyze the oxidation of hydrazine by the metallo-superoxide, [(NH(3))(4)Co(III)(μ-NH(2)…

In this study, gold-loaded titanium dioxide was prepared by an impregnation method to investigate the effect of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) on photoactivity. The deposited gold nanoparticles (NPs) absorb visible light because of SPR. The effects of both the gold content and the TiO2 size of Au/TiO2 on SPR and the…

We predicted here gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity of Ti2–C2H4 and Ti2–C2H4+ complexes using density functional theory (DFT) method. The number of adsorbed H2 on Ti2–C2H4 is limited to ten. It has been seen that controlling the charge-state of this complex enhances its gravimetric hydrogen uptake and the metal bo…

Previous fiber-shaped solar cells are based on polymeric materials or dye-sensitized wide band-gap oxides. Here, we show that efficient fiber solar cells can be made from semiconducting nanostructures (e.g. CdSe) with smaller band-gap as the light absorption material. We directly grow a vertical array of CdSe nanowire…
