Expert Solution

SnO2 coated glass: To increase the heat stability

TiO2: The most essential property of TiO2 nanoparticles is its ability to opacify and whiten the medium in which it is dispersed. Also to increase its reactive surface area

Dye-sensitized solar cells separate the two functions provided by silicon in a traditional cell design

Electrolyte: For better temperature response

Carbon plays a dual role as a catalyst or a catalyst support for chemical and enzymatic biomass transformation reactions due to its large specific surface area, high porosity, excellent electron conductivity, and relative chemical inertness

Solar cell A uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.1 eV. Solar cell B uses a semiconductor with a band gap of 2.0 eV. Either cell is thick enough to absorb all the light above its band gap energy. Both cells can work together simultaneously with one on top of the other to operate more efficiently in a small space. But which cell has to be on top (first to receive sunlight) for both to work simultaneously and...
