Boron- and Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Characterization and Application in Solar Cells
(2015-07)
The investigations in this project focused on the synthesis and characterization of boron- and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (B- and N-CNTs), and the subsequent application of the doped-CNTs in organic solar cells (OSCs). ...
Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cell with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes in the Active Layer: Effect of Nanocomposite Synthesis Technique on Photovoltaic Properties
(2015-05-08)
Nanocomposites of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) have been synthesized by two methods; specifically, direct solution mixing and in situ polymerization. The nanocomposites were ...
Effect of boron concentration on physicochemical properties of boron-doped carbon nanotubes
(Elsevier, 2015-01-07)
Boron-doped carbon nanotubes (B-CNTs) were synthesized using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) floating catalyst method. Toluene was used as the carbon source, triphenylborane as boron as well as the carbon source while ...
Organic Solar Cells with Boron- or Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes in the P3HT : PCBM Photoactive Layer
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015-12-02)
Either boron- or nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (B- or N-CNTs) were incorporated in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells photoactive layer composed of poly(3 hexylthiophene) (P3HT) : (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ...
Charge extracting buffer layers in bulkheterojunction organic solar cell
(Springer, 2015-08-27)
The effects of boron and nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (B- or N-CNTs) have been investigated as photoactive and charge extracting layer in bulk heterojunction organic solar cell composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) [P3HT] ...
(4-{[(Pyridin-4-yl)methylidene]amino}- phenyl)ferrocene
(2012-11-21)
The asymetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(CH)(CHN)], contains two independent mol-ecules whose conformations differ, especially in the 4-{(pyridin-4-yl)methyl-idene]amino}-phenyl unit where one is flipped by almost ...
Concentration of Iron in Murram (Laterite) From Ruiru Area, Thika District, Kenya To Asses Economic Viability.
(2011-10)
A study on possibility of concentrating iron in laterite (murram) has been carried out. This was done using froth floatation where oleic acid was used as collector and cresylic acid as frother. Magnetic separation was also ...
A review on carbon nanotube/polymer composites for organic solar cells
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2014-04-13)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have unique properties, such as their electrical conductivity, that enable them to be combined with conducting polymers to form composites for use in organic solar cells (OSCs). It is envisaged that ...
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes Synthesised by Pyrolysis of (4-{[(Pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ferrocene
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-13)
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of (4-{[(pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl) ferrocene in a solution of either acetonitrile or toluene as carbon source. This was achieved by testing ...
