TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the partial pressures of the reacting substances appeared to influence the reaction rate, and a formula depicting this influence was derived, which may be interpreted by assuming two successive reactions, namely the reaction between the aromatic and the oxygen on the surface, and the re-oxidation of the partly reduced surface by means of oxygen.
TL;DR: In this paper, the binding energy of the V2p3/2 core level for each vanadium oxidation state is fixed relative to the O1s level, and satellite peaks are added to the fit especially for the lower vanadium oxides.
TL;DR: In this article, the surface of the oxide films and the interface between the polymer and the oxide was studied with the help of atomic force microscopy, and the effect of the thickness of oxide layer on electrical characteristics of the device was also studied and optimized thickness was achieved to give high power conversion efficiency of 3.3% under simulated AM1.5G illumination of 100mW∕cm2.
Abstract: Polymer-based photovoltaic cells have been fabricated by inserting a thin, transparent, transition metal oxide layer between the transparent anode (indium tin oxide) and the polymer layer. Two different transition metal oxides, namely vanadium oxide and molybdenum oxide, were used and the device performance was compared. The surface of the oxide films and the interface between the polymer and the oxide was studied with the help of atomic force microscopy. The effect of the thickness of the oxide layer on electrical characteristics of the device was also studied and optimized thickness was achieved to give high power conversion efficiency of 3.3% under simulated AM1.5G illumination of 100mW∕cm2.
TL;DR: In this article, a review examines the recent literature on the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethane and propane, which aims for the synthesis of the corresponding alkenes.
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the current knowledge available about vanadium oxide-based catalysts is given, including the molecular structure of supported vanadium oxides under hydrated, dehydrated and reduced conditions, including parameters which influence the molecular structures formed at the surface of the support oxide.
