Since its commercial production in the early twentieth century, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has
been widely used as a pigment1 and in sunscreens, 2, 3 paints, 4 ointments, toothpaste, 5 …

Smart windows nowadays undertake the esteemed obligation of reducing energy
consumption as well as upgrading living experience. This project aims to devise a smart …

The unprecedented emergence of perovskite‐based solar cells (PSCs) has been
accompanied by an intensive search of suitable materials for charge‐selective contacts. For …

There is a keen interest in the use of electrochromic materials because they can regulate
light and heat, thereby reducing the cooling and heating energy. However, the long …

Among all one dimensional nanostructures other than carbon, titania nanotubes have
gained increasingly more scientific interest due to a successful combination of functional …

In the last decade, NiO nanostructures (NSs) have gained a growing attention from the
scientific community because they are cheap, facile to produce and isolate, and they could …
