Author:Cummings, FR; Le Roux, Lukas J; Hietkamp, SDate:Jul 2008Titanium dioxide (TiO) nanotubes hold great potential for application in dye-sensitised solar cells for they provide a one-dimensional transport route for generated charge carriers. An investigation is launched into the formation of these ...Read more
Author:Olaleru, SA; Kirui, JK; Wamwangi, D; Roro, Kittessa T; Mwakikunga, Bonex WDate:Jan 2020Perovskite-based solar cells (PSC) is the fastest growing solar technology to date since inception in 2009. This technology has revolutionized the photovoltaic (PV) community. While it has taken 15–42 years for traditional PV technologies to ...Read more
Author:Cummings, FDate:Sep 2009Photovoltaic (PV) is the direct conversion of sunlight into electrical energy through a solar cell. This presentation consists of an introduction to photovoltaics, the South African PV research roadmap, a look at the CSIR PV research and ...Read more
Author:Malgas, GF; Motaung, DE; Arendse, CJDate:May 2012A detailed study on the thermal transition of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and blends was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, while the morphological, phase separation and the transformation in the optical properties were ...Read more
Author:Cummings, F; Le Roux, Lukas J; Mutangwa, N; Knoesen, DDate:Oct 2009Vertically orientated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes hold great potential for application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) as they provide an unscathed, one-dimensional transport route for photo-generated charge carriers, thereby ...Read more
