Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Processing on the Electrical Properties of Spray-Deposited SnO2:F Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarHighly transparent SnO2:F thin films were produced by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique to be used as forcontacts in the home made CdS/CdTe solar cells. Films of thickness 100-200 nm were prepared at substrate temperatures in the range 380-480°C. To improve the electrical properties of the films, annealing in nitrogen atmosphere at 400°C and etching by HNO3 were tried. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Annealing Temperature on Characteristics of Bismuth Doped Zinc Oxide FilmsSirirat Tubsungnoen Rattanachan, Phanuwat Krongarrom, Thipwan FangsuwannarakIn this study, Bismuth (Bi) doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartz substrates by a sol-gel spin coating method and annealed at different annealing temperatures of 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700°C, respectively. Structural and optical properties of nanocrystalline Bi-doped ZnO film on quartz were investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2013 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Film thickness on the Electrical and Structural Properties of CdS: In Thin FilmsShadia J. Ikhmayies, Riyad N. Ahmad-BitarPolycrystalline CdS:In thin films were prepared by the Spray Pyrolysis (SP) technique on glass substrates at a substrate temperature Ts= 490°C. The effect of film thickness on the electrical and structural properties of the films was investigated through the analysis of the I-V plots, x-ray diffraction spectra (XRD) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The conductivity of the films … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,910 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of an AI-Based Controller for a Positive Output Superlift DC-DC ConverterRicha Adlakha, Ashish Grover, Neha Chaudhary et al.DC-DC converters have emerged as crucial components in various industrial applications and form an integral part of power supplies based on switch-mode. Solar energy has garnered increasing significance owing to the scarcity of non-renewable fuels and its abundant availability. Photovoltaic (PV) technology, characterized by the arrangement of numerous series and parallel-connected PV cells within modules, generates DC output. Consequently, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 17 Feb 2026 · 1,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCircular Economy Modeling for Waste and Energy Management in A Developing Country: The Case of Greater Beirut AreaAbbas El Toufaili, Dario Pozzetto, Elio Padoano et al.Lebanon's energy system depends largely on imported fuels. Lebanon presented its commitment to increase by 30% its share of Renewable Energies (RE) by 2030. GBA lacks an integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) system. The waste composition in the Greater Beirut Area (GBA) is made of 52.2% organic waste which can be exploited for the production of green Hydrogen (H2) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 22 Nov 2024 · 5,210 accessesView PDFCite
