Tuning the Optical Properties of Mesoporous TiO2 Films by Nanoscale Engineering

September 20, 2018

Article Reviews

Photovoltaic applications of metal oxides are highly dependent of their optical characteristics, in particular, transparence and reflectivity.

In Langmuir 2012, DOI: 10.1021/la301450h, Birgit Schwenzer and co-workers provide an account on tuning the optical properties of mesoporous TiO₂ films by nanoscale engineering.

ISGS is an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose and objective is the advancement of sol-gel science and technology. ISGS aims are both to represent the particular needs and aspirations of the international sol-gel community and to support this sol-gel community.

Since the inception of the highly successful Sol-Gel Workshop series in Padova during 1981, sol-gel science and technology has evolved from its origins within traditional materials science (mainly glass and ceramics) to become an extraordinarily multidisciplinary area of research, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and nanotechnology.

ISGS, grouping of scientists who are interested in sol-gel science and technology at the begining, evolved over time in a professional, fully functional, scientific society.
