Novel fabrication technologies of 1D TiO
2nanotubes, vertical tin and iron–based nanowires for Li–ion microbatteriesWe present the combination of anodisation, sputtering and electrodeposition processes as a novel technology to fabricate nanoarchitectured materials. Titania nanotubes are successfully fabricated using Ti foils and Ti film on Si wafers; by simply varying the anodisation parameters a 600–900 nm range of tube length and a 50–150 nm range of tube diameter can be obtained. Iron and tin oxides ...

How a Solar Light Works
A solar light is a light that has the ability to convert sunlight from the afternoon hours into electrical energy that eventually powers the light whenever it is required. It looks no different from a regular light but there are very many subtle differences in the background. A solar panel collects the sun’s radiation and then transforms it into electrical energy. The converted electrical ...
