SUMMARY X. Pis a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characteriseJ by photophohia, severe solar sensitivity, cutaneous pigmentary changes, xerosis and early Jevdopment of mucocutaneous and ocular cancer particularly in sun exposeJ skin. Tumors whichinclude solar keratosis, cutaneous horn, keratoachanthoma, squamous and basal cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and angioma may developeJ in...

Perovskite solar cells fabricated from organometal halide light harvesters have captured significant attention due to their tremendously low device costs as well as unprecedented rapid progress on power conversion efficiency (PCE). A certified PCE of 20.1% was achieved in late 2014 following the first study of long-term stable all-solid-state perovskite solar cell with a PCE of 9.7% in 2012, sh...

As an alternative to the photoelectrochemical water splitting for use in the fuel cells used to generate electrical power, this study set out to develop a solar energy rechargeable battery system based on photoelectrochemical water oxidation. We refer to this design as a "solar water battery". The solar water battery integrates a photoelectrochemical cell and battery into a single device. It us...

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are grown via chemical vapour deposition method directly on a stainless steel substrate. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy are the techniques chosen to characterize the structure of the synthesized carbon nanotubes: few structural defects are detected. After their removal from the stainless steel substrate, the as-grown MWCNTs are then a...

nanocrystalline titanium (iv) oxide paste has been deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide glass substrate by the blade method. the deposited film was subjected to thermal treatment to obtain an electrode foe a photo-electrochemical cell. the electrode was sensitized with prophyrin dye which was a local dye extracted from carica papaya leaves. avaspec 2.1 spectrophotometer was used to obtain the ...

today, using new and renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels is greatly expanded. the solar cells are devices that convert solar energy to electrical energy. solar cells based on organic materials, especially proteins, are one of these solar cells. for example, bacteriorhodopsin (br) which is one of the membrane proteins in halobacterium salinarum could be used in solar cells and parti...

This research reports a facile ultrasonic approach for the synthesis of iron vanadate (FeVO4) nanoparticles with the aid of ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O as the starting reagents without adding external surfactant, capping agent or template in an aqueous solution. Furthermore, to examine the solar cell application of as-synthesized iron vanadate (FeVO4) nanoparticles, FTO/TiO...
