This thesis consists of three different studies. In one study, the photoelectrochemical effects of order vs disorder was investigated at monodispersed disordered inverse opal and ordered inverse opals with and without ...
Solar energy conversion in quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) could be improved by localizing light in nanostructured ordered systems or photonic crystals (PC) that exhibit a periodic modulation of the refractive ...
This study investigates and compares the removal of As(V) and Pb(II) from aqueous media using the water-stable zinc-metal organic frameworks (Zn-MOF-74) prepared via room-temperature precipitation (RT-Zn-MOF-74) and ...
Curcumin-conjugated ZnO nanostructures (Zn(cur)O) were synthesized through a simple precipitation method where the curcumin employed during the synthesis process got conjugated to ZnO through strong interactions. The ...
