      Generation of hydrogen using photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has attracted researchers for the last two decades. Several materials have been utilized as a photoanode in a water splitting cell, including ZnO due to its abundance, low production cost and suitable electronic structure. Most research attempts focused on doping ZnO to tailor its properties for a specific application. In this ...
    • Insights into TiO<inf>2</inf>thin film photodegradation from Kelvin Probe AFM maps 

      Olukan, Tuza Adeyemi; Sydorenko, Jekaterina; Katerski, Atanas; Al Mahri, Mariam; Lai, Chia-Yun; Al-Hagri, Abdulrahman; Santos Hernandez, Sergio; Chiesa, Matteo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-29)
      The synthesis of TiO2 thin films by the chemical spray pyrolysis method at different titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) to acetylacetone (AcacH) ratios has been shown to lead to the highest photodegradation at 1 (TTIP):8 (AcacH). These films hold promise in the field of indoor pollution treatment. Carbon incorporation into the surface and into the TiO2 lattice could be responsible for the observed ...
    • Thickness-Dependent Resonant Raman and E' Photoluminescence Spectra of Indium Selenide and Indium Selenide/Graphene Heterostructures 

      Tamalampudi, Srinivasa Reddy; Sankar, Raman; Apostoleris, Harry; Almahri, Mariam Ali; Alfakes, Boulos; Al-Hagri, Abdulrahman; Li, Ru; Gougam, Adel; Almansouri, Ibraheem; Chiesa, Matteo; Lu, Jin-You (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-28)
      Atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) indium selenide (InSe) has attracted considerable attention because of the dependence of its bandgap on sample thickness, making it suitable for small-scale optoelectronic device applications. In this work, by the use of Raman spectroscopy with three different laser wavelengths, including 488, 532, and 633 nm, representing resonant, near-resonant, and conventional ...
