Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials continue to attract significant interest due to their optoelectronic application. However, the degradation phenomenon associated with hybrid structures remains a challenging aspect of commercialization. To overcome the stability issue, we have assembled the methylammonium lead bromide nano islands (MNIs) on the backbone of poly-3-dodecyl-thiophene (PDT) for the first time. The structural and morphological properties of the MNI-PDT composite were confirmed with the aid of X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The optical properties, namely absorption studies, were carried out by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The fluorescent behavior is determined by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The emission peak for the MNI-PDT was observed at 536 nm. The morphology studies supported by FESEM indicated that the nano islands are completely covered on the surface of the polymer backbone, making the hybrid (MNI-PDT) stable under environmental conditions for three months. The interfacial interaction strategy developed in the present work will provide a new approach for the stabilization of hybrids for a longer time duration.

Abstract The energy storage prospects of organic molecule has recently rendered them as promising candidates for supercapacitors (SCs) applications. Herein, we report an investigation into the electrochemical and energy storage capability of two carbazole based monomer and dimer moieties, connected through mono (CBZ-1) and diacetylene (CBZ-2)-based linkages. Synthesized intermediates and final compounds were experimentally and theoretically characterized via spectral, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations respectively. Excellent electrochemical properties were observed in an organic pseudo-capacitive-supercapacitor (SC) based on the carbazole derivatives, with the dimer (CBZ-2) functionalized with diacetylene showing a comparatively better capacitive and improved electrochemical characteristics (398 F.g-1 at a current density of 1 A.g-1) than the mono (CBZ-1) derivative.

Abstract The high trap-state density and low conductivity in compact TiO2 (c-TiO2) layer limits the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (HPSCs). Metal doping in c-TiO2 has been proven to be a successful strategy for enhancing the PCE of HPSCs. Herein, Zr is incorporated in the c-TiO2 layer with different doping concentrations, and its impact on the photovoltaic performance of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) HPSCs is investigated. Inclusion of Zr enhances the charge carrier collection at TiO2/perovskite junction as well as conductivity of TiO2 layer. It is demonstrated that Zr-doping reduces the dark current significantly by suppressing non-geminated recombinations, leakage path, and electron trap-states. As a result, the HPSCs with optimum Zr-doping (10 vol%) exhibits open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.076 V, short-circuit current density (JSC) of 23.57 mA cm−2, and PCE of 18.16% under one-sun illumination conditions. UV absorption confirms the increase in bandgap upon Zr-doping that leads to favorable band alignment with the perovskite layer. Further, the engineered solar cells are probed for current density-voltage (J-V) hysteresis, operational stability, leakage current, intensity-dependence behavior, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

Abstract Herein, we report a study on the performance of two well-known benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene (BDT) based donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers for organic photodiode (OPD) application. Judicious material design motif via side-chain and acceptor unit alteration in both polymers resulted in the donor moieties namely, PBDTS-TDZ and PBDB-T, which were applied as active layers with fullerene derivative PC61BM in a bulk heterojunction OPD. Panchromatic light detection was afforded despite the molecular and structural changes in both polymers. Inverted OPD based on PBDB-T: PC61BM showed a comparatively broader photoresponse and better performance, with specific detectivity [EQE] of 3.749 × 1012 [62%] at a bias voltage of 2 V under red light illumination. This work entrenches the inter-dependent relationship existing between polymer structural design and their device performance for organic photodiode (OPD) application.

With the growing demand of economically feasible, clean, and renewable energy, the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasing. The PV panel performance to generate electrical energy depends on many factors among which tilt angle is also a crucial one. Among hundreds of research work performed pertinent to solar PV panels performance, this work critically reviews the role of tilt angles and particularly locating the optimum tilt angle using different methods. The past data collected for analysis can be categorized mainly into mathematical model based, experimental based, simulation based, or combination of any of these. Single-axis tracking, dual-axis tracking, simple glass cover, hydrophobic glass cover, soiled glass, clean glass, partial shadow, use of phase-change material, computational fluid dynamic analysis, etc., are the novel methods found in the literature for analysis and locating the optimum tilt angle. For illustration purpose, few figures are provided in which the optimum tilt angle obtained on monthly, seasonally, and annual basis is shown. Research works are growing in the field of computations and simulations using online software and codes. Pure mathematical-based calculations are also reported but the trend is to combine this method with the simulation method. As the PV panel performance is found to be affected by number of parameters, their consideration in any single study is not reported. In future, work is required to carry out the experiment or simulation considering the effect of soiling, glass material, temperature, and surrounding ambience on the location of optimum tilt angle. As a whole, the optimum tilt angles reported for locations exactly on the equator line, i.e., 0° latitude, ranges between − 2.5° and 2.5°, for locations just above the equator line, i.e., latitude 2.6°–30° N ranges between 5° and 28°, for 40°–70° N, it is 29°–40°, and for 71°–90° N, it is 41°–45°. For locations at 2.6°–30° S, optimum tilt angles range between − 4° and − 32°, 30°–46° S, it is − 33° to − 36°, 47°–65° S, it is − 34° to − 50°, and for 66°–90° S it is − 51° to − 62°.

Abstract Growth in electronic devices comes with a challenge to engineers to provide proficient cooling mechanism in order to evade performance decline. Minichannel heat sinks are one among type of cooling devices to absorb heat formed in the electronic devices. Air is largely employed as cooling fluid in minichannels, but innovative methods are also adopted to enhance the heat transfer during the process. These days with modifications in the fluid flow passage and using liquid coolants such as nanofluids the Nusselt number is enhanced. These structural modifications adopted and different nanofluids employed with various volume concentrations and flow rates passed through minichannels to obtain enhancement in heat transfer rate are compiled in this article. The approach for these investigations is majorly categorized into numerical and experimental works. Numerical studies consisting of wide spread modeling methods like single phase/two phase flow modeling, laminar, transition/turbulent modeling etc. are reviewed. The related in-depth numerical and mathematical models used for computational analyses are detailed out exclusively. Experimental methods consisting of unusual passive techniques such as dimples/protrusions, pin fins, and corrugated channels. to achieve betterment in minichannel thermal performance are also provided. Another prime highlight of this article is compilation (in tabular form) of all the correlations and mathematical models used and developed to analyze different factors/properties during the thermal analyses. This article is concluded by providing an overall idea of different mathematical models and methods adopted in minichannels heat transfer analyses and future aspects to be addressed. Several important areas in minichannels heat transfer analyses exist which demand the optimization of heat and fluid flow processes and the use of machine learning concepts for analysis.

Abstract The present work reports on the highly efficient microwave assisted Suzuki coupling reaction for obtaining pyromellitic diimide based symmetrical small molecules with donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) configuration. Electron rich bithiophene is employed as a donor and alkyl substituted pyromellitic diimide units are explored as acceptors to get the desired small molecules. In order to study the relation between chemical structures and material properties, the prepared compounds were characterized in detail using absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and thermograviometric analysis. The compounds exhibited good thermal stabilities with high decomposition temperature. Photophysical investigations of the newly synthesized pyromellitic diimide based small molecules, suggests these materials as potential candidates for organic electronic applications.

India has vast reserves of uranium which is a nuclear fuel. The population of nation has reached 1.3 billion and yet 71 years post independence many a villages are not connected to the electrical grid. Power quality is a perennial issue and India faces energy shortage to meet the base load as well as peak load demand. Considering the vast strides made by India in harnessing renewable energy sources like wind and solar the only green option left to exploit is that of nuclear energy. Globally as on April 2017, 30 nations are producing electricity through nuclear route employing 449 reactors which amount to 11% of electricity produced coming from nuclear power. Even 70 years after independence the nuclear energy share is less than 5 % in India and hence scope exists for enhancing its share. The nation has few scattered nuclear power plants and one of them is at Kaiga in Uttar Kannada district of Karnataka. Kaiga is located at 14.8661° N longitude and 74.4394° E latitude.

Abstract This paper presents the results of investigations carried out on a single cylinder direct injection engine operating on diesel fuel, Methyl esters of Honge and Jatropha Curcas Oil. Optimum parameters for Honge and Jatropha Curcas oil biodiesel when used in a single cylinder DI, CI engine were found experimentally. The raw vegetable oils were converted into their biodiesels (BD) separately by transesterification process. Tests were also carried to determine the properties of the fuels which include Flash point, Fire point, Kinematic viscosity and Gross calorific value at South Western Railways diesel loco shed laboratory. Engine tests were carried out using engine with PC interface separately for petroleum diesel, BD made from Jatropha oil and Pongamia Pinnata oils. Initially tests were carried out at three different injection timings to arrive at the optimum injection timings for the three fuels separately. Engine tests have been carried out with the aim of obtaining comparative measures of brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc), brake power, exhaust gas temperature, NOx, HC and smoke emissions. All the tests were conducted at six different power outputs (No load, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% of rated power) and for three injection timings of 19o, 23o and 27o btdc keeping the injection pressure constant at 205 bar. It was observed that the optimum injection timing for Honge oil methyl ester (HOME), diesel and Jatropha oil methyl ester (JOME) at 205 bar injection pressure are 19o, 23o and 27o btdc respectively. It is observed that the brake thermal efficiency for HOME and JOME are slightly lower than neat diesel operation. However the brake specific fuel consumption of HOME and JOME were higher compared to Diesel. Emissions of NOx and HC also were comparatively lower for HOME and JOME when compared with Diesel for various Brake power conditions.

An expert group on modernization of Indian Railways (IR) has suggested significant investments in renewable energy projects like solar and wind through Private–Public Participation (PPP) initiative and in energy-saving and captive power generation projects owing to insatiable demand for power. Renewable energy assumes significance due to dwindling fossil fuels and environmental benefits associated with it. With this backdrop, a study at two coach repair workshops was undertaken to ascertain the consumption of various forms of energy and the areas where renewable energy technologies could be deployed. The study shows that IR had taken lead to implement renewable energy technologies in various forms—solar photovoltaic’s for illumination, solar thermal units for hot water. IR is also planning offsite wind power plants to meet all the energy requirements of workshops. These efforts should improve the share of renewables over Indian Railways in future.
