      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 ...
    • Revealing the Quasi-Periodic Crystallographic Structure of Self-Assembled SnTiS3 Misfit Compound 

      Rajput, Nitul S.; Baik, Hionsuck; Lu, Jin-You; Tamalampudi, Srinivasa Reddy; Sankar, Raman; Al Ghaferi, Amal; Chiesa, Matteo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-28)
      Chemical vapor transport synthesis of SnTiS3 yields a self-assembled heterostructure of two distinct constituent materials, the semiconductor SnS and the semimetal TiS2. The misfit layer compound, although thermodynamically stable, is structurally complex, and precise understanding of the structure is necessary for designing nanoengineered heterojunction compound devices or for theoretical studies. ...
