Direct synthesis of platelet graphitic-nanofibres as a highly porous counter-electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells

We synthesized platelet graphitic-nanofibres (GNFs) directly onto FTO glass and applied this forest of platelet GNFs as a highly porous structural counter-electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). We investigated the electrochemical properties of counter-electrodes made from the highly porous structural GNFs and the photoconversion performance of the cells made with these electrodes.     

High Energy Fuels II: Gas Chromatographic Separation of Energetic Compounds Derived from Dicyclopentadiene

An effective gas-liquid chromatographic separation of thirteen energetic dicyclopentadiene derivatives has been established using OV-17 as the stationary phase. FID was chosen as the favorable detector after comparing its response factors with those of TCD. Using this method good repeatability, reproducibility and precision are obtained in both qualitative and quantitative analyses of compounds investigated.     

Investigation of carbon coating approach on electrochemical performance of Li4Ti5O12/C composite anodes for high-rate lithium-ion batteries

Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry - Submicron-sized Li4Ti5O12/C (LTO/C) composites were successfully synthesized by using one-step and two-step route, in which sucrose was used as carbon...     

A hybrid nanostructure of platinum-nanoparticles/graphitic-nanofibers as a three-dimensional counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells

We directly synthesized a platinum-nanoparticles/graphitic-nanofibers (PtNPs/GNFs) hybrid nanostructure on FTO glass. We applied this structure as a three-dimensional counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and investigated the cells' photoconversion performance.
