Thin film of Indium oxide doped with tin is used as a transparent electrode for different applications like screening panels, solar cells, touch panels and elechtrochromic tools. Trading thin films of ITO are precipitated using sputtering. However sol gel method can be simple and economic to make transparent electrodes. In this thesis first ITO sols is prepared using Indium nitrate and tin chloride with two or four capacities due to the production of transparent oxides on soda lime glass. Then the effect of tin chloride with two and four capacities is investigated on resistance and optic properties. Results show that tin chloride with four capacities in comparison with tin of two capacities... 

due to high mineralization rate of Zinc oxide، chemical and physical stability, non-toxicity and low price as the most promising photocatalysts studied, although its use is not too satisfactory. Because of the wide energy gap(3.2 ev) and for photocatalytic activity needs to UV light Unfortunately, the solar spectrum is made up only 5-7% of UV light, while 46-47% is the spectrum of visible light and infrared. Doped zinc oxide nanoparticles with metal and non-metallic atoms could increase the photocatalytic properties under visible light irradiation. In this research, nanoparticles of zinc oxide was doped by fluorine as Dopant. The results showed that photocatalytic activity of the modified... 

Interconnects in SOFC’s has oxidation problems which is Because of high temperature operation. Also Cr migration to cathode make chroumiom poisoning problems and all of this affects SOFC’s efficiency. To solve this problem researchers decided to use some protective coating on interconnect. The best group of coatings is Mn-Co Spinels. In this thesis (Mn,Co)3O4 spinels was synthesized via solid state reaction. MC reffered to Mn1.5Co1.5O4 was calcined at 850°C and then sintered at 1200°C. It’s electrical conductivity measured by 4-point probe DC method. It had the lowest ASR (17mΩ.cm2) among other stochiometries. To reduce the sintering temperature, Cu and Y was added as dopants. Among the... 

Development of novel photosensitizers and photocatalysts with near-infrared (NIR) light activity and efficient sunlight harvesting is of great importance in photodynamic therapy and environmental remediation. In this work, very small (20 nm) upconverter SrF2:Yb,Tm@CaF2:Yb@Fluorine-doped TiO2 heteronanoparticles (denoted as UCNPs@TiO2) with strong UV-blue emission and wide-spectrum photocatalytic activity were synthesized via a facile three-step hydrothermal method, for the first time. The SrF2: Yb,Tm upconverter nanoparticles were produced as the light-emitting core, epitaxially-grown CaF2 : Yb as the middle shell to enhance the Upconversion luminescence efficiency and TiO2 as the... 

Supercapacitors are safe and environmentally friendly energy storage devices that have been considered for their diverse applications. One of the most important factors that control supercapacitors' capacity is the electrode material's structure and properties. Adding heteroatoms or composite materials synthesis is one way to improve electrode performance. In this study, a facile, fast, and economical hydrothermal method was used to synthesize N doped, P doped or N/P co-doped 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for high-performance supercapacitor application. Nitrogen and phosphorus elements were replaced by carbon atoms simultaneously during the graphene oxide hydrothermal reduction procedure....
