Natural Pigment Based Dye Sensitized Solar Cells: Photovoltaic Studies: A sustainable energy solution
Sustainable Energy
The present research work is carried out on fabrication of natural pigment-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) utilizing Lemon leaves and Onion peels extracted dyes as natural photosensitizers. The absorption spectra analysis shows the major peaks for onion peel at 370 nm and 475 nm and 664 nm...
Enhancing Soil Quality and Maize Yield with the Combination of Acacia-Biochar, NPK Fertilizer and Compost
Circular Economy and Bioeconomy
Pakistan's agricultural soils exhibit a high tendency for leaching, low quantities of organic matter, and minimal microbial activity. The situation is aggravated by human activities such as bush burning, mining, sand extraction, and ongoing conventional methods of farming. These methods, together...
Chlorophyll-Enriched Chitosan-CuO-ZnO Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Activities
Environmental management and policy
Chitosan-doped copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (CuO-CS-ZnO NPs) were prepared utilizing sol-gel synthesis route. Chlorophyll was added in the process of making NPs to enhance the effects of these NPs. The prepared NPs were thoroughly analyzed using advanced techniques including X-ray...
Amelioration of drought stress in wheat by using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and biogas slurry
Hydrology and Water Resources Management
Drought stress has a significant impact on cereal-based staple food production, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. To ensure a sustainable and reliable food supply, it is essential to develop comprehensive production plans that incorporate various approaches to mitigate the effects...
Chitosan-doped ZnO Nanoparticles for Antibacterial, Antifungal, and Food Preservation Applications
Circular Economy and Bioeconomy
Chitosan-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (CS-ZnO NPs) were meticulously fabricated using the sol-gel methodology. The CS-ZnO NPs underwent comprehensive analytical assessments, employing advanced techniques, encompassing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV visible (UV-Vis)...
