“Our research shows that it is possible to develop a cost-effective and scalable process for the production of metal oxide layers for solar cells,” said Ghosh. “This new method has the ...

What are Metal Oxide Nanoparticles? Metal oxide nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials composed of metal cations bonded to oxygen anions, with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers.

While metal oxide-based photoelectrodes are cost-effective, progress in their development has lagged due to the absence of suitable protective layers. The research team has addressed this ...

Atomic layer etching (ALE) is the reverse of atomic layer deposition ... During the surface chemistry using HF and Sn(acac) 2 as the reactants, the HF converts the metal oxide to metal fluoride. The ...

When sodium is cut or scratched, its freshly exposed shiny surface rapidly turns dull as a thin layer ... The metal becomes weaker over time, and eventually all of it may become metal oxide.

Exploration of the novel oxide active‐layer materials mainly concentrates on the doping of metal ions into the host oxide semiconductors and the combination of two or more binary metal‐oxide ...

Aluminium is unusual, because it is a reactive metal that does not react with water. Its surface forms a protective layer of aluminium oxide that keeps water away from the metal below. The ...

This study reveals the decisive role played by uniformity of the lithiophilic layer of the 3DLCC in achieving uniform lithium plating/stripping. Herein, a series of metal oxide-based 3DLCCs are ...
