Macro-sized porous single crystalline-like (PSC-like) TiO2 is endowed with unique structural advantages due to its structural consistency and porosity in a large area, which would significantly enhance its photoelectrochemical function. However, there are significant technical challenges in the growth of porous single crystalline-like monoliths. Th...

The major shortcoming in the extraction of electrical energy occurs due to partial shading over a limited area of vast spread solar panels underpinning reduction of efficiency. A number of panels are interconnected in series and parallel to form a photovoltaic (PV) array for large power plants and a shadow over a single cell deteriorates overall pe...

BiSCl single-crystalline nanofibers were synthesized by a facile one-pot solvothermal approach for the first time. BiSCl possesses a double chain type structure and grows readily along the c-axis, resulting the fibrous morphology. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy revealed that BiSCl nanofibers exhibit a strong light absorption in a wavelength range f...

Assessing snow-related energy losses is necessary for accurate predictions of photovoltaic (PV) performance. A PV test platform with seven portrait-oriented modules placed at four tilt angles (0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees) was installed in Calumet, Michigan to measure the energy loss in this snowy climate. As a best-case snow-shedding configuration, t...

Large-scale single-crystalline ultrathin boron nanosheets (UBNSs, ≈10 nm) are fabricated through an effective vapor-solid process via thermal decomposition of diborane. The UBNSs have obvious advantages over thicker boron nanomaterials in many aspects. Specifically, the UBNSs demonstrate excellent field emission performances with a low turn-on fiel...

Photocurrents (PCs) of three p-i-n GaAs solar cells, sample A with InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in the depletion region, B with QDs in the n region, and C without QDs, were studied experimentally and theoretically. Above GaAs bandgap, the PC of A is increased, while B is decreased with respect to C, since in A, the QD-induced reflection of hole...

The Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film possesses excellent photoelectric properties that enable it to act as an ideal transparent conductor. To obtain high-quality ITO films through sol-gel method, the ionic surfactant monoethanolamine and the non-ionic surfactant polyethylene glycol (PEG) were added to the ITO precursor slurry. The influences of sur...

We report the design and fabrication of InAs quantum dot gated transistors, which are normally-on, where the channel current can be switched off by laser illumination. Laser light at 650 nm with a power of 850 pW switches the channel current from 5 mu A to 2 pA, resulting in an on/off ratio of more than 60 dB. The switch-off mechanism and carrier d...
