Electron Microscopy Investigation of Coated Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes Prepared by Reactive Ball Milling

László Forró, Jin Won Seo, Klara Hernadi, Endre Horvath

Homogeneous and stable inorganic coating of SiO2, Al2O3 and TiO2 was obtained on the surface of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by mechanically mixing them with precursor compounds in a planetary ball mill and by subsequent hydrolysis. Detailed studies ...

Effect of annealing temperature on the performance of printable carbon electrodes for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Iwan Zimmermann, Zubair Ahmad

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with mesoporous TiO2 electron transport layers have reached > 22% efficiency at laboratory scale ( < 1 cm(2)), however, these layers are fabricated using spin-coating, which is not conducive to large-scale or high throughput f ...

Point-of-care amperometric determination of L-dopa using an inkjet-printed carbon nanotube electrode modified with dandelion-like MnO2 microspheres

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Milica Jovic

An electrochemical sensor is described for the determination of L-dopa (levodopa; 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine). An inkjet-printed carbon nanotube (IJPCNT) electrode was modified with manganese dioxide microspheres by drop-casting. They coating was character ...

Dynamics of nanoscale systems probed by time-resolved STM-induced luminescence

Anna Maria Roslawska

The efficiency and peculiarities of processes such as surface adsorption or electron-to-photon energy conversion in organic and inorganic structures are determined by the dynamics at the scale of individual molecules, atoms and charges. The timescales of s ...

A novel microfabrication platform for hybrid multilayer MEMS

Nahid Hosseini

In Atomic force microscopy (AFM), the tip-sample interaction force can be measured through two primary detection techniques: optical beam detection (OBD) and electrical (self-sensing) readout. Compared to the optical method, the convenience of the self-sen ...
