Preparation and Characterisation of Tailored TiO<sub>2</sub>nanoparticles Photoanode for Dye Sensitised Solar Cells
Authors : M. Geetha ,K. Suguna ,P. M. Anbarasan ,V. Aroulmoji ,

Pure and Al-doped anatase TiO2 nanoparticles are prepared by an acid tailored sol-gel method and successfully used as a photoanode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The samples were characterized by using powder XRD, FE-SEM with EDX, UV-DRS, and Current-Voltage curve. After Al doping, the conductivity of the TiO2 increases and it has a positive shift. The energyconversion efficiency of...

Electrochemical and surface investigation of poly((N-methacryloyloxymethyl) benzotriazole-co-phenoxyethylmethacrylate) coatings
Authors : K. M. Govindaraju ,A.S. Singha ,R.K. Jarial ,

Methacrylate based copolymers have attracted a great deal of interest because of their environmental friendly organic coatings for anticorrosive application. Poly ((N-methacryloyloxymethyl) benzotriazole-co-phenoxyethyl methacrylate) has synthesized by free radical polymerization technique and confirmed by spectral and thermal analysis. The anti-corrosion behavior of the synthesized copolymer...

Industrial activities are the major factor causing the water pollution and degradation of the environment around us. Sugar industry play important role in economic development of country but the effluent releases from the industry posses water pollution and causes health hazards. In this study, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain MK5 was isolated from sugar mill effluent collected from Namakkal...
