Natural Pigment Based Dye Sensitized Solar Cells: Photovoltaic Studies: A sustainable energy solution

by Ranwa K. Khakhal H.R. Kharkwal D. Vyas S. Ejaz R. Abid I. Rizwana H. Aghayeva S. Iqbal R.

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

Assessment of Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity with Using Soil Particle Size Distribution: A Comparative Study of Constant Head and Falling Head Methods

by Solangi K.A. Abbasi B. Solangi F. Khaskhali S. Siyal A.A. Mehmood H. Akram M.I. Iqbal R. Al-Ghamdi A.A. Elshikh M.S.

Floods, Droughts and Water scarcity

The purpose of soil hydraulic conductivity is to retain soil water contents, and soil water pressure. In this study investigates two different methods to understand the soil hydraulic conductivity of loam and clay soils. The present research conducted a laboratory experiment to measure the saturated...
