Multilayered WO 3 Nanoplatelets for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Water Splitt...
Arlete Apolinário; Tânia Lopes; Claúdia Costa; João P. Araújo; Adélio MendesMultilayered WO3 nanosquare platelet films were successfully grown on transparent TCO substrates by spray-coating WO3 nanoparticles aqueous suspension prepared by the sol-gel method. This work assesses the influence of two annealing schemes in the photoresponse of WO3 photoelectrodes with different film thicknesses. The photoelectrochemical characterization reveals that the slow-heating ramp produces a photoele...
Impact of the architecture of dye sensitized solar cell-powered electrochromic ...
Dzmitry Ivanou; Jorge Pinto; Joaquim Mendes; Adélio Mendes; Claúdia CostaThe functional layers arrangement in a dye sensitized solar cell electrochromic device (DSSC-EC) on the energy conversion efficiency and on the ability to change the color is studied. The highest power conversion efficiency of ca. 7% and good color change in closed circuit conditions was observed with electrochromic WO3 deposited on the counter-electrode of the DSSC. When WO3 layer was applied over the photoano...
