The present article overviews the current state-of-the-art and future prospects for the use of
diatomaceous earth (DE) in the continuously expanding sector of energy science and …

State-of-the-art research in solar technologies has led to the development of thin sensitizing
films, almost to the nanoscale. Still, due to environmental harm, metallic complexes pose a …

Polymer solar cells (PSCs) generally suffer energy losses due to low efficient exciton
separation and carrier transfer within the active layer. In this paper, adding SnO 2 …

In this work, the nano-structured diatomite (DIA) was first incorporated into poly (3-
hexylthiophene)(P3HT) thin film, and developed as a light-trapping layer in polymeric …

There are two standard ways of growing microalgae for biofuel: open raceways and closed
photobioreactors. Open raceways are relatively inexpensive, but are subject to airborne and …

Pursuing improved electrode materials is essential for addressing the challenges associated
with large-scale Li-ion battery applications. Specifically, silicon oxide (SiOx) has emerged as …

A solar cell is a common energy source for aerospace applications. Traditionally, these are
high-cost, high-efficiency, high-fidelity III–V, or Si-based devices. In this chapter, we present …

In this paper, we examine the impact of three-dimensional grating layers embedded at
selected locations in an organic solar cell structure to obtain enhanced efficiency. The …

Diatoms are the ubiquitous microalgae present all over the world. They are specialized
organisms on the planet with the cell wall composed of opaline-silica ornamented with …

In this paper, we examine the impact of three-dimensional grating layers embedded at
selected locations in an organic solar cell structure to obtain enhanced efficiency. The …
