Titanium dioxide/agglomerated-free reduced graphene oxide hybrid photoanode film for dye-sensitized solar cells photovoltaic performance improvement by Abu Bakar Suriani, Muqoyyanah, Azmi Mohamed, Mamat, M. H., Mohd Hafiz Dzarfan Othman, Mohd Khairul Ahmad, Abdul Khalil, H. P. S., Marwoto, Putut, Muhammad Danang Birowosuto

“…The produced TC14-rGO was also hybridized with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which then coated by thin platinum (Pt) NPs (TC14-rGO_MWCNTs/Pt) and used as counter electrode (CE) thin film. Based on solar simulator measurements, the highest energy conversion efficiency (η) (1.559%) was achieved by TiO 2 NRs–NFs/TC14-rGO/TiO 2 NPs hybrid photoanode film with the short current density (J sc ), open circuit voltage (V oc ), and fill factor (FF) of 3.275 mA/cm 2 , 0.747 V, and 53.5, respectively as compared to others fabricated photoanode films; non-ann TiO 2 NRs–NFs/TiO 2 NPs (1.215%), ann TiO 2 NRs–NFs/TiO 2 NPs (1.462%), and TiO 2 NRs–NFs/TiO 2 NPs/TC14-rGO (0.525%). …”

Towards automated damage detection for in-situ remanufacturing by Nguyen, Keith Wei Liang

“…The proposed approach can detect different types of damage from 3D scan data without assumptions on the undamaged part geometry or requiring additional inputs, with a sensitivity of 95.9%, representing a substantial improvement over current 3D damage detection methodologies. Based on the visual results, damaged regions are largely identified, although the proposed approach has difficulties identifying the exact borders of the damage region. …”
