Photovoltaic properties of new solar cell based on ideal cubic NaNbO thin films: a combined experimental and density functional theory study.

We explore the photovoltaic properties of a novel homojunction solar cell based on NNO(p)/NNO(n) perovskite by employing a combination of material synthesis, characterization and density functional theory calculations that are novel ideas compared to those previously reported in the literature. The band structure reveals that NaNbO introduces a n-type semiconductor. Moreover, using DFT calculation, we created n-NNO by a simple substitution in the O site by 4.

Optical and dielectric properties of silver-substituted ZnAlO spinels synthesized using a sol-gel auto-combustion method.

The present study deals with two compounds, ( = 0.05 and = 0.1), synthesized using a sol-gel auto-combustion method.

Structural, morphological, and electrical properties of silver-substituted ZnAlO nanoparticles.

In this paper, nanoparticles of ( = 0.05 and = 0.1) were synthesized by the sol-gel auto-combustion method and characterized by various techniques.

Investigation of temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric properties of multiferroic (LaCa)BiFeO nanoparticles for energy storage application.

In this work we synthesized the multifunctional (LaCa)BiFeO material using a sol-gel process. Structural and morphologic investigations reveal a perovskite structure at room temperature with spherical and polygonal nanoparticles. A detailed study of the temperature dependence of the dielectric and electrical properties of the studied material proves a typical FE-PE transition with a colossal value of real permittivity at 350 K that allows the use of this material in energy storage devices.

Investigation of the structural, optical, elastic and electrical properties of spinel LiZnFeO nanoparticles annealed at two distinct temperatures.

Nanoparticles of LiZnFeO (LiZnFeO) with the spinel structure were prepared by a sol-gel auto-combustion method at two different annealing temperatures. X-ray diffractograms and Rietveld refinement confirmed the formation of the spinel structure. The morphology was analyzed by electron microscopy, which showed that the grains were composed of different crystallites.
