  Abstract:
  In this experiment the carotenoid bixin is isolated from annatto (Bixa orellana) seeds using column chromatography. The experiment has several key advantages over previous pigment separation experiments. First, unlike other experiments significant ...

  Abstract: Solid state PbS quantum dots (QDs)/TiO₂ heterojunction solar cells were produced by depositing PbS QDs on a 500 nm thick mesoscopic TiO₂ films using layer-by-layer deposition. Importantly, the PbS QDs act here as photosensitizers and at the same time as ...
