During their preparation, the molecular surface roughness is also concurrently engineered facilitating a change in both the surface chemical composition and the geometrical microstructure to generate hierarchical structures. The water contact angle has been measured on drop-cast film surface. The enhancement in the water contact angle on 3D (curved) SAMs in comparison to that on 2D (planar) surface is discussed using the Cassie-Baxter equation. These silica particles can be utilized for many potential applications including selective adsorbents and catalysts, chromatographic supports and separators in microfluidic devices.

A number of characterization methods, namely, X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, sorptiometry and electron microscopy are employed. The data obtained reveal interrelated dependencies of the surface area, porosity, nitrogen and pyridine adsorption capacity and strength, and catalytic methylbutynol decomposition activity on the size of titania nanoparticles. Pertinent size-dependent bulk properties are also revealed and used to account for the changes conceded by the surface properties. Accordingly, going from 19 to 8-nm sized titania particles has been found to stabilize the anatase structure, weaken the surface acidity, and blueshift the UV absorption edge of titania.

Diffused Reflectance Spectra (DRS) reveal that in addition to the expected TiO2 interband absorption below 360 nm gold surface plasmon feature occurs near 564 nm. It is shown that the dye sensitized solar cells made using TiO2-Au plasmonic nanocomposite yield superior performance with conversion efficiency (CE) of similar to 6% (no light harvesting), current density (J(SC)) of similar to 13.2 mA/cm(2), open circuit voltage (V-oc) of similar to 0.74 V and fill factor (FF) 0.61; considerably better than that with only TiO2 nanoparticles (CE similar to 5%, J(SC) similar to 12.6 mA/cm(2), V-oc similar to 0.70 V, FF similar to 0.56).

The present article describes a simple combustion synthesis method to prepare TiO2-xNx with following four important features that directly influences eta: (1) a disordered mesoporous structural framework with high surface area to give high dye-loading and a small diffusion length for charge carriers allowing rapid movement to the surface; (2) electrically interconnected nanocrystalline TiO2-xNx particles with good necking and predominant (101) anatase facets to minimize electron-hole recombination; (3) low charge storage capacity in the titania framework; and (4) surface unsaturation assisting all the above factors. The pseudo-three-dimensional nature of mesoporous TiO2-xNx with the above features demonstrates the importance of textural features, and porosity allows faster diffusion of charge carriers to surface and their utilization to generate power. A quantitative correlation between interconnected nanoparticles over larger distances in a mesoporous framework and eta is demonstrated. This study also demonstrates an inexpensive and rapid method of producing the photoanode material with high eta in about 10 min.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.814
