Surface-related properties of perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (2017)
Journal Article
Afzaal, M., Salhi, B., Al-Ahmed, A., Yates, H., & Hakeem, A. (2017). Surface-related properties of perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 5(33), 8366-8370. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7TC02968C

A modified three-step aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition process was used to grow dense and uniform CH3NH3PbI3 thin films directly on borosilicate glass. The resulting photoluminescence spectrum was blue shifted with respect to its bandgap....

Dual functionality anti-reflection and biocidal coatings (2017)
Journal Article
Yates, H., Sheel, P., Hodgkinson, J., Warwick, M., Elfakhri, S., & Foster, H. (2017). Dual functionality anti-reflection and biocidal coatings. Surface and Coatings Technology, 324, 201-207. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2017.05.077

A thin film combination of anti-reflection (AR) and biocidal properties would be of particular interest to reduce the transfer of infection and improve readability of public high use touch screens. In this paper we describe the development of a dual... Read More about Dual functionality anti-reflection and biocidal coatings.

Growth patterns and properties of aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of CH3NH3PbI3 films in a single step (2017)
Journal Article
Yates, H., & Afzaal, M. (2017). Growth patterns and properties of aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of CH3NH3PbI3 films in a single step. Surface and Coatings Technology, 321, 336-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2017.05.011

In this work, we highlight growth patterns and properties of aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of perovskite, CH3NH3PbI3 thin films. The substrates were distinctly covered with both perovskite and lead iodide thin films which we attribute to...

Transparent conductive oxide films for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells (2017)
Journal Article
high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells. IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, 7(2), 518-524. https://doi.org/10.1109/JPHOTOV.2016.2641303

In this paper, atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films of various thicknesses and dopant levels is reported. The deposited coatings are used to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells, which exhibited... Read More about Transparent conductive oxide films for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells.
