Latest Patents
Ladanov's latest patents include a microstructured crystalline device in confined space and a dye-sensitized solar cell, along with the method of preparation thereof. This invention utilizes a method for forming an ordered nanorods array in a confined space, creating a high surface area device. The device features an ensemble of parallel trenches with micrometer dimensions, decorated with crystalline nanowires that radiate from the sidewalls and bases of the trenches. The high surface area device is achieved by depositing a conformal crystalline seed coating in the trenches and forming microchannels by placing a barrier layer on the open surface. The conformal coating is then contacted with a crystal precursor solution that flows through the microchannels. In one embodiment, a very high surface area electrode is constructed with ZnO nanowires radiating from the sidewalls and base of trenches formed on a silicon substrate. This innovative device can serve as a dye-sensitized solar cell.
