Solar energy materials-evolution and niche applications: A literature review
(MDPI, 2022)
The demand for energy has been a global concern over the years due to the ever increasing
population which still generate electricity from non-renewable energy sources. Presently, energy
produced worldwide is mostly from ...
Green synthesis of crystalline silica from sugarcane bagasse ash: Physico-chemical properties
(MDPI, 2022)
Sugarcane bagasse South Africa is an agricultural waste that poses many environmental
and human health problems. Sugarcane bagasse dumps attract many insects that harm the health
of the population and cause many diseases. ...
A review of the green synthesis of zno nanoparticles utilising Southern African indigenous medicinal plants
(MDPI, 2022)
Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), such as zinc oxide (ZnO), have been researched extensively
for applications in biotechnology, photovoltaics, photocatalysis, sensors, cosmetics, and
pharmaceuticals due to their unique ...
Nanostructured silicon derived from an agricultural residue bagasse ash via magnesiothermic reduction method
(MDPI, 2023)
This study presents the magnesiothermic reduction of silica into silicon. This reduction
process occurs at a lower reaction temperature than its carbothermal counterpart. Furthermore, silica
was extracted from sugarcane ...
