Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is a key component of clean fuel and chemical synthesis from solar energy. One of the approaches to produce Hydrogen at low cost is to couple together...
Owing to its superior electrical properties, such as a wide band gap (3.2 eV) and a high critical electric field (3MV/cm), Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) is now considered the...
Gallium Nitride (GaN) and its related AlxGa1-xN ternary alloys have excellent properties (like a wide band gap, a high critical electric field and a high electron saturation...
Monitoring of UV radiation and of its components UV-A and UV-B is of great interest for human healthcare. In past years we realised visible blinde 4H-SiC UV detectors based on...

The working principle of a Phase Change Memory (PCM) cell exploits the reversible...
We exploit the capabilities of plasma to produce advanced materials for several applications ranging from amorphous solar cells, HIT solar cells, to advanced nanocsryalline materials to be...
Nickel-Silicon compounds, as most of the transition metal silicides, show peculiar thermodynamic and kinetic behaviours. The large effort devoted to the comprehension of the phenomena governing Ni...
Among the functional nanostructured materials carbon-based nanostructures have an important place in water treatments for purification purposes. Their large aspect ratio and the...
Carbon-based nanostructures and porous metal oxides are investigated as sensitive layers for the fabrication of electrical sensors for environmental and biological applications. Furthermore, an...
Dye (DSC) and Perovskite (PSC) solar cells are revolutionizing views and perspectives in the photovoltaics field so that their efficiency has been raised up to ~22% in only 8 years since the first...
