Dye sensitized solar cells : from liquid electrolytes to solid state hole transport materials [PDF]

, 2015
There is a pressing need to find alternatives for polluting and often non-sustainable fossil fuels. An obvious alternative energy source is the sun, which sends more than enough energy to Earth to satisfy mankind’s (current) demands.

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...
