Inorganic Nanofibers
Overview:
In this project, we worked on producing nanofibers of tungsten oxide via elecrospinning.
The organic/inorganic blend was prepared by different tungsten precursors and variable polymers. Obtained nanofibers are around 70nm thick in diameter and they are homogeneous.

Photochromic Films
Overview:
Photochromic properties of tungsten hexachloride (WCl6) and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) blend solution prepared by electrospinning technique is reported. The coloration cycling of the material is repeatedly reversible and its durability has been tested several times functioning acceptably well. Fibers and films of tungsten oxide are prepared by spincoating and electrospinning techniques.

Organic Solar Cells
Overview:
An organic solar cell or plastic solar cell is a type of polymer solar cell that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules, for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect [wikipedia].
In this new work I am trying to improve OSC efficiency by SWCNT and IR absorption.

NEMS & MEMS
My Contribution:

Overview:
Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are a class of devices integrating electrical and mechanical functionality on the nanoscale. NEMS form the logical next miniaturization step from so-called microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS devices. NEMS typically integrate transistor-like nanoelectronics with mechanical actuators, pumps, or motors, and may thereby form physical, biological, and chemical sensors. The name derives from typical device dimensions in the nanometer range, leading to low mass, high mechanical resonance frequencies, potentially large quantum mechanical effects such as zero point motion, and a high surface-to-volume ratio useful for surface-based sensing mechanisms.
