Abstract:
La ricerca di una nuova fonte di energia pulita è l'obiettivo per la comunità scientifica che dovrebbe essere raggiunto nei prossimi decenni. L'idrogeno ha guadagnato molta attenzione nella comunità scientifica come vettore di energia rinnovabile. Tuttavia, ora, l'obiettivo principale in campo energetico è quello di passare dalla produzione di idrogeno grigio (ottenuto da fonti fossili con successiva emissione di anidride carbonica) a quella di idrogeno verde (prodotto con zero carbon footprint).

Abstract:
Semiconductors are vital components in the challenge of harvesting solar power to provide sufficient carbon neutral energy for a growing global population. A trend in semiconductor devices is to nanostructure some of the layers in order to obtain improvements in optical and electrical properties. This work focusses on two materials that have been gaining academic and commercial interest over a number of years. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide bandgap semiconductor that can be grown via a number of physical and chemical deposition methods; the work on ZnO builds upon research on a chemical growth rou

Capture of the energy in sunlight relies mainly on the use of light-absorbing semiconductors, in solar cells and in water-splitting devices. While solar cell efficiency has increased dramatically since the first practical device was made in 1954, production costs for the most-efficient solar absorbers, III-V semiconductors, remain high. This is largely a result of use of expensive, slow growth methods which rely on hazardous gas-phase precursors.
