Nanostructured Semiconductor Films



Nanostructured TiO2 Films.

We employ colloidal route to prepare  nanostructured  TiO2 films.  The methiod is useful  for casting mesoscopic TiO2 films on conducting glass electrodes and can be employed in constructing photochemical solar cells.  Click here for the procedure
