Lasers are currently indispensable for many civilian and military applications and there is a considerable need to develop optical limiting materials for laser damage prevention of optoelectronic devices and for people protection. Specific to an optical limiting material is the linear increase of th...

The present paper investigates the preparation of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanorods decorated with cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles and its application as solar photoelectrocatalyst. TiO₂ rutile nanorods have been prepared on conductive glass via a hydrothermal reaction in acidic media, shaped as s...

Functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) based materials were applied as coatings for pre-treatment of aluminium substrates. Organosilanes with specific functional groups were selected as additives to the POSS matrix. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) pigments containing corrosion i...

The aim of this work has been the photoelectrochemical (PEC) study of nanostructured photoanodes based on TiO₂. Highly ordered and well adhered TiO₂ nanotubes (TNTs) of different lengths (∼2–20 μm) were prepared in a two-step process in ethylene glycol solutions containing fluorides, and detailed XP...
