    Photovoltaic Materials Synthesis Characterizations and Applications, 2026
    Photovoltaic (PV) technology is a predominant factor in the world’s movement to sustainable and renewable energy sources. The incipient stages of an increasing number of computer-savvy research teams have adopted computational modeling and simulation as the main path to speed up progress and reduce the reliance on time-consuming experimental protocols. This paper investigates the use of various advanced computational techniques such as finite element analysis (FEA), Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, molecular dynamics (MD), and density functional theory (DFT). The instant methods are employed to assess and extend solar cell materials’ properties and the potential for efficacy by modeling various phenomena relevant to charge mobility, optical absorption, and thermal behavior at the atomic scale. Moreover, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a new trend is pointed out, and it can be a powerful alternative for material discovery and optimization, leading to a considerable increase in speed and efficiency of the process. Used together, these means offer prospects to revolutionize the science of PV material innovation and disclose the advanced and profitable technologies of solar energy.

    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2025
    Methylene orange (MO) is organic dye, unsafe and persevering in the climate. This study was chosen to assess photocatalytic expulsion of MO color from fluid arrangement utilizing Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles. Characterisation of Mn doped ZnO nano particle was performed utilizing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Electronic microscopy and X-beam diffraction (XRD). A 5-level-5-factor focal composite plan (CCD) approach-based reaction surface system (RSM) analysis was utilized to indicate the impact of primary cycle factors. The removal efficiency of dye was acquired more than 90 % in ideal circumstances (10 mg/L, pH: 9, contact time: 91.25 min, Mn-ZnO NP's measurement: 0.77 g/L). Exploratory information was well fitted to pseudo-second request dynamic model (R2 = 0.989). Therefore, Mn-ZnO NP's can be applicable for treating contemporary wastewater having colour.
  • Design and fabrication of magnetically recoverable SnO2/CoFe2O4 nanocomposite for enhanced visible light-driven wastewater treatment
    D. Venkatesh, V. Kanchana, S. Vasanthan, A. Kistan, P. Rajeswaran, K. Arunkumar, P. Siva Karthik
    Inorganic Chemistry Communications, 2024
    This study emphasizes the critical importance of ensuring the availability of clean and secure water resources amid global concerns about water contamination, highlighting the necessity for effective and enduring methods to eliminate hazardous pollutants. The research introduces a sustainable approach to environmental protection through the creation of a high-performance photocatalyst, employing a co-precipitation route to incorporate CoFe 2 O 4 onto SnO 2 for efficient wastewater treatment under solar light irradiation. Comprehensive composition and morphological studies of the SnO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 composites are conducted using techniques such as XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, UV–Vis, PL spectra, and FT-IR spectra. The synergistic behavior of the SnO 2 /CoFe 2 O 4 composite results in efficient separation of electron/hole pairs, reducing the recombination rate and leading to improved photocatalytic performance under solar-light illumination. Notably, the rate constant for Chromium (VI) removal reaches 87 % and the degradation of Rhodamine 6G attains 92 % within 105 mins intervals. The catalyst demonstrates stability and ease of regeneration through a five-cycle recycle study, further supporting its potential for practical application in wastewater treatment.
  • Sol-Gel synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity of Cobalt doped ZnO nanoparticles
    M. Chitra, A. Kistan, V. Kanchana, A. Jayanthi
    Research Journal of Chemistry and Environment, 2024
    In the current study, Cobalt (Co) doped ZnO nanoparticles with different dopant concentrations are prepared using the sol-gel process. All the synthesized samples are characterised using a variety of instrumentation methods including XRD, FT-IR, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, FE-SEM, EDAX, HRTEM and XPS. The XRD measurements revealed the crystallite sizes of the fabricated samples are reduced by increasing cobalt concentrations. The various functional groups present in the doped materials are identified using FT-IR spectra. According to the UV-vis absorption study, as Co dopant concentration rises, the energy band gap narrows down in comparison to pure ZnO. According to an FESEM image, Co doping in ZnO causes a shift in the morphology of the material, making for structures that resemble flowers almost exactly. The various elemental compositions are evaluated using EDAX. The results of analyses employing high-resonance transmission electron microscopy show that the two co-doped ZnO crystallites combine to produce spherical structures with a mean size of 16 nm. This is consistent with the crystallite size predicted by Scherrer's formula. According to the results of the XPS analysis, the Co ion was integrated into the ZnO lattice in a Co2+ oxidised form. The 0.3M Cobalt doped sample showed improved photocatalytic reaction efficiency of methylene blue. As the Co doping concentrations increased, the photocatalytic reaction's efficiency also increased.
  • Synthesis and Characterization of UHMWPE Wear-Resistant Bioimplants

    Tribo Behaviors of Biomaterials and their Applications Fundamentals Recent Advancements and Future Trends, 2024
    Due to the aging population in today’s society and the concomitant problems of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, the bioimplants are a highly essential material. The creation of biocompatible materials with long enough lifespans requires knowledge of both the mechanical and biomedical fields, which are both involved in the production process of bioimplants. Bioimplants are medical devices used to support various biological activities of the biological structure of the provided host by replacing nonfunctioning biological structural components in humans. Over the course of bioimplants’ development, a wide range of materials have been created. The following criteria must be met for these materials: (1) biocompatibility, (2) mechanical performance consistency with the bones, and (3) cost. The requirement that a material for bioimplants be biocompatible with the human body is the most important one. The choice of suitable materials, which strongly depends on a detailed understanding of the material properties, is a must for the bioimplants to work consistently throughout time. In order to increase wear resistance, a polymer is cross-linked in the first distinctive invention, and then the cross-linked polymer is thermally treated. In this chapter, the most popular ultrahigh-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) polymer-based wear-resistant bioimplant material has been synthesized and characterized.

    Rasayan Journal of Chemistry, 2024
    The motivation behind this study is to stress the worth of green amalgamation in the development of nanomaterials. Regarding this declaration, we said that we have examined the morphological, optical, underlying, and photocatalytic color debasement exercises of the incorporated ZrO2 nanoparticles as well as their biosynthesis by means of a response intervened by mythical serpent organic product bloom separate. UV-noticeable spectroscopy was utilized to identify a huge absorbance top at 360 nm. The utilization of SEM affirmed that the nanoparticles, which had a typical size of 17.5 nm, were circular in shape. The nanoparticles' zirconium (70.88%) and oxygen (29.12%) contents were checked utilizing energy-dispersive X-beam examination. The nanoparticles' X-beam powder diffraction (XRD) spectra demonstrated their crystallinity. While the information from HR-TEM shows particles that are 33.75 nm in size. When the photocatalytic movement of ZrO2 NPs was researched, Methyl Orange showed 54.2 % debasement following 120 minutes of UV openness and 68.50 % corruption following an hour and a half of UV openness, individually. This fresh-out of the plastic bio-ZrO2 nanoparticle was utilized to study the photocatalytic breakdown of methyl orange when presented with apparent light. The cationic color was separated by the engineered bio-ZrO2 shortly with 91.8 % corruption ability.
