Photodegradation of Rhodamine B over Ag modified ferroelectric BaTiO3 under simulated solar light: pathways and mechanism
(2015)The use of semiconductors with a ‘built in’ bias has now become of interest for a growing number of photoactive applications. Using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, gas chromatography in association with mass ... -
Piezoelectric nanogenerators - a review of nanostructured piezoelectric energy harvesters
(2014-10-13)© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. A huge number of piezoelectric materials have been demonstrated since the discovery of piezoelectricity over a century ago. The use of nanostructured piezoelectrics, however, is a relatively recent ... -
A preferential precursor for photocatalytically active titanium dioxide thin films: Titanium bis-ammonium lactato dihydroxide as an alternative to titanium tetra iso-propoxide
(Elsevier, 2016-11-04)© 2016 Elsevier LtdTitanium bis-ammonium lactato dihydroxide (TiBALD) precursor is used in place of the traditional sol–gel precursor, titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TTIP), to determine which precursor produces the most ... -
