ABSTRACTAn electrochemical glucose sensor based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods is fabricated, characterized and tested. The ZnO nanorods are synthesized on indium titanium oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate, using the hydrothermal sol-gel technique. The working principle of the sensor under investigation is based on the electrochemical reaction taking place between cathode and anode, in the presence of an electrolyte. A platinum plate, used as the cathode and Nafion/Glucose Oxidase/ZnO nanorods/ITO-coated glass substrate used as anode, is immersed in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution electrolyte to test for the presence of glucose. Several amperometric tests are performed on the fabricated sensor to determine the response time, sensitivity and limit of detection of the sensor. A fast response time less than 3 s with a high sensitivity of 1.151 mA cm-2mM-1 and low limit of detection of 0.089 mM is reported. The glucose sensor is characterized using the cyclic voltammetry method in the range from -0.8 – 0.8 V with a voltage scan rate of 100 mV/s.

Zinc oxide nanorods were grown on Si (100) and Platinum coated glass substrate by the aqueous chemical growth (ACG) in aqueous solution that contained zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2•6H20) and hexamethylenetetramine (C6H12N4). The obtained ZnO nanorods are uniformly distributed on the Platinum coated glass substrate surface from 1.5 h to 3 h growth time. Branched hexagonal rods were also found growth on these uniform nanorods. Branched hexagonal rods were found on Si (100) from 2 h to 3 h growth time. A small number of flower-like structures compared to the majority oval type structure suggest that secondary nucleation had occurred during the process of growth. All of the high intensity peaks, including the strong (101) peak, are assigned to wurtzite ZnO hexagonal indicating that the product is pure ZnO. The results found in this study revealed that the type substrate plays a role in determining the surface morphology of ZnO growth.

A worldwide investigation is being carried out for improving the photoconversion efficiency of solar cells. Among all solar cells, quantum dots solar cell (QDSC) has proven as the best potential for photocurrent generator. The major focus of this research work is comparing the performance of QD based solar cells with and without the addition of synthesized dielectric nanomaterials for reducing recombination problems and higher the exciton generation. The selection of dielectric nanomaterial was carried out based on their good field-effect passivation, screened columbic attraction, enactment as a back reflector, and recombination inhibitor in solar cell. According to the above-mentioned factors lanthanum doped lead titanate Pb0.85La0.15TiO3 (PLT15) is a promising material for this research work. For improving the performance of QD based solar cells, the PLT15 paired mesoporous TiO2 electron transport layer (ETL) film was deposited onto fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) coated glass substrate using doctor blading technique followed by annealing the QD deposition onto the coated glass substrate was carried out via dipping of the glass into the QD solution for overnight. The QD used in this research work were namely – PbI3. Finally, the performance study was carried out which indicates that the introduction of dielectric material into the QDSC has proven to be as innovative and as well as efficient for improving the photocurrent conversion efficiency.
