Green synthesis of silica and silicon from agricultural residue sugarcane bagasse ash – A mini review
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
Silicon dioxide (SiO2), also known as silica, has received attention in recent years due to wide range of capable applications including biomedical/pharmaceutical, energy, food, and personal care products. This has accelerated ...
Microscopic, spectroscopic, and electrochemical characterization of novel semicrystalline poly(3-hexylthiophene)-based dendritic star copolymer
(MDPI, 2022)
: In this study, electron-donating semicrystalline generation 1 poly(propylene thiophenoimine)-
co-poly(3-hexylthiophene) star copolymer, G1PPT-co-P3HT was chemically prepared for the first time.
Copolymerization was ...
Setting the baseline for the modelling of Kesterite solar cells: The case study of tandem application
(Elsevier, 2023)
The Kesterite solar cells research landscape is at a crossroad and despite a much improved understanding of the
limitations of this class of materials, the current performance deficit contrasts with the several other thin ...
Polyaniline entrapped water-dispersible 3mpa-znse quantum dots and their application for the development of an enzymatic electrochemical nanobiosensor for the detection of 17β-estradiol, an endocrine-disrupting compound
(SpringerLink, 2023)
17β-estradiol is used as a growth and fertility stimulant in the agronomic sector to induce fertility and manipulate reproductive characteristics in animals. However, unintended or unregulated distribution and exposure to ...
Development of Unsupported Ru and Ni Based Oxides with Enhanced Performance for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Acidic Media
(Springer, 2023)
The high cost of catalyst materials suitable for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWE) is still a major hurdle that needs overcoming before commercial PEMWE can ...
Novel heterojunction superstrate Cu2ZnInS4−x (CZIS) thin film kesterite solar cell with vertical arrays of hexagonal ZnO nanorods window layer
(Elsevier, 2022-11-24)
Quaternary Cu2ZnInS4−x (CZIS) thin films have been prepared by a facile and cheap sol-gel spin coating
technique. Low-temperature solution-based methods were used to fabricate a heterojunction solar cell in
the superstrate ...
Synthesis of bimetallic FeMn nanoparticles using rooibos tea extract: characterization and application
(Springer, 2023)
Bimetallic FeMn nanoparticles based on a ferromanganese wad were successfully synthesized employing an entirely green
approach. South African rooibos tea (RTea) extract was used as an environmentally friendly reducing and ...
Materials, components, assembly and performance of flexible polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell: A review
(Elsevier, 2023)
With emerging demand of potable and wearable electronic devices, reliable and flexible energy suppliers are
inevitable. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) attract great attention due to high energy density
and ...
Nanostructured europium-doped layered lithium manganese oxide as a prospective cathode material for aqueous lithium-ion battery
(Elsevier, 2023)
As the world moves to greener and renewable energy generation technologies, scientific researchers are facing a great challenge of concurrently developing energy storage materials with a low production cost, environmentally ...
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 ...
