Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptoelectronic Characterisation of Silicon and CIGS Photovoltaic Solar CellsRicardo A. Marques Lameirinhas, Afonso Ravasco, Catarina Pinho Correia Valério Bernardo, João Paulo N. TorresThroughout these years, many materials have been subjected to tests and experiments, creating several photovoltaic technologies and generations. In this article, some of these generations are compared, namely silicon and Copper Indium Gallium di-Selenide (CIGS), in order to characterize both materials in an optoelectronic way. Using a 2D solar cell PIN model using COMSOL software, both materials are tested, obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2024 · 4,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Study of Properties of Biopolymers from Corn Starch with Addition of Microalgae Spirulina platensisJúllia Koury Abreu, Loraynne Coelho Pereira, José Izaquiel Santos da SilvaThe discovery of the environmental impacts caused by petroleum-based polymers has led to the use of natural polymers gaining more and more space. Naturally occurring polymers, also known as biopolymers, are chemical compounds produced by living things or raw materials from renewable energy sources. Their main advantage is decomposition, while polymers from fossil and non-renewable energies can take hundreds of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2023 · 6,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreen Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Extract of Disporopsis Longifolia for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene BlueKhieu Thi Tam, Dang Van Thanh, Huu Tap Van et al.In this report, the silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs)were successfully synthesized in a simple one-pot method by the leaf and stemextract of Disporopsis longifolia as reducing, capping agents, andstabilizers for the first time. The optimal extract amount, AgNO3concentration, reaction temperature, and time for the AgNPs synthesis wereidentified using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 5 · 23 Nov 2022 · 6,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Nickel Adsorption in an Aqueous Solution by ClayNesrine Turki, Nesrine Boujelben, Zaineb Bakari, Jalel BouzidIn this study, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and BET surface area (SBET) methods were employed to characterize the adsorbent. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was consider as a good method to assess Ni adsorption treatment and Box-Behnken design was used to examine simultaneous the effects of different experimental variables (pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time). Experimental results showed high adsorption … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 5 · 24 Nov 2021 · 6,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Role of Chichorium intybus Extract Against Renal Toxicity Induced by Magnetite Silver Nanoparticles in Male RatsDoha M. Beltagy, Ehab Tousson, Nabiha I Abdo, Batoul M. IzzularabMagnetite silver nanoparticles (Fe3O4/AgNPs) symbolize a new candidate in several industrial and biological products for their activities, simple preparation and low synthesis costs. Many studies recommended the usage of Fe3O4/AgNPs to overcome lacking biocompatibility of AgNPs inside the body. However, Fe3O4/AgNPs also has toxic effects on kidney tissues. In this study, AgNPs was synthesized on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2021 · 6,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of a Multi-Metal Resistant Bacillus cereus Strain TWSL_5 and it’s Bioremediation Potential for Cr, Pb, Zn and FeWeerasingha Mudiyanselage Nilmini Hasintha Kumari, Naduviladath Vishvanath Chandrasekharan, Champika Dilrukshi WijayarathnaAn effluent sample collected from a textile dyeing factory was screened to isolate metal resistant endogenous bacteria using standard microbiology techniques. A bacterium with the highest metal resistance was characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and the bacterial genome was screened for any possible metal resistant genes using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The bioremoval ability of the isolate was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2021 · 6,443 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Al based Composites Reinforced with FeAl Intermetallic Particles by Mechanical AlloyingSergio Rubèn Gonzaga Segura, Arturo Molina Ocampo, Renè Guardián Tapia, Alejandro Sedano AguilarIn this research project, Al matrix composite materials reinforced with 5 and 10 (wt. %) of FeAl intermetallic particles were synthesized by Mechanical Alloying (MA) at a speed of 250 RPM for 2, 5, 10 and 15 h of milling time.
