Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This work demonstrates the selection of the substrates to be used for photoanode and counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). A novel carbon dots (CDs) decorated WO3 nanosheets hybrid structure was synthesized by facile hydrothermal route, which acts as a photoanode materials: counter electrode (Pt) and iodide/triiodide (I−/I3−). Sun stimulator (AM 1.5G, 100 mW/cm2) is used as source of light to evaluate the photovoltaic characteristics. The samples using various mass ratios (1:1, 1:2, 1:3) of CDs and WO3 were prepared under the same conditions. The monoclinic structure with sheet-like morphology of WO3 was identified by XRD, Raman and TEM measurements. The optimized CDs/WO3 (1:3) photoanode exhibits a huge surface area (102.4 m2/g) and porous size (12 nm) since the CDs are rapidly anchored on the WO3 nanosheets. Due to the high absorption ability that prevents the recombination rate of the electron–hole pair, the optimized CDs/WO3 (1:3) photoanode delivers a high photoconversion efficiency of 11.7%, which is 3.35 times better than that of bare WO3 (3.5%). The improved photoconversion efficiency of WO3 by carbon was also discussed in detail.
