Optimization of lead halide perovskite thin films by chemical vapour deposition
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Perovskite solar cells have gained tremendous attention within the past decade, due to its rapid improvement in power conversion e ciency (PCE), with the current record cell at 25%. The aim of this study is to create ... -
Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles for photovoltaic application
(2013)With an increase in the amount of harmful carbon emissions in the atmosphere as well as a decrease in the availability of fossil fuels, there is a relatively high demand for alternate energy devices. Solar cells have become ... -
Thermochromic properties of VO2 nano-coatings by inverted cylindrical magnetron sputtering
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Vanadium dioxide (VO2) films have been known as the most feasible thermochromic nano-coatings for smart windows which self control the solar radiation and heat transfer for energy saving and comfort in houses and automotives. ...
