design and optimization of a single crystalline silicon (c-si) solar cell is performed to achieve the maximum light conversion efficiency. various parameters such as doping concentration and thicknesses, and geometrical dimension of surface pyramids are studied. the inverted surface pyramid is used to increase the efficiency of the solar cell, and engineered oxide layer is used as the passivati...

The physics of helium and argon rf discharges have been investigated in the pressure range from 50 to 760 Torr. The plasma source consists of metal electrodes that are perforated to allow the gas to flow through them. Current and voltage plots were obtained at different purity levels and it was found that trace impurities do not affect the shape of the curves. The electron temperature was calcu...

the aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. the passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY)-based BOD-Pyr compound was synthesized according to the literature and HOMO LUMO energies of were calculated by DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method using on Gaussian 09 W. Au/BOD-Pyr/n-Si/In Schottky diode fabricated thermal evaporation spin coating technique. The electronic photovoltaic properties have been investigated current-voltage (I-V) measure...

Structural optimization of microwire arrays is important for the successful demonstration practical feasibility radial junction crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. In this study, we investigated an optimized design tapered (TMW) to maximize light absorption c-Si cells, while minimizing surface recombination, simultaneously improving open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density (Js...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic compounds. Removal of these compounds has a great importance for environment. Removal of PAHs from soil is difficult as these chemicals are persistent in the soil. In this research, bioremediation of soil contaminated by (PAH) using Bacillus subtilis DSMZ 3256 (B.subtilis) strains was studied. The effect of electrokin...

Because, each electrode response depends upon its material nature as well as its surface properties, gold (Au) and glassy carbon (GC) electrodes were investigated as inert indicator electrodes (IIE) in addition to platinum (Pt). Indeed, platinum differs from gold as it has the higher exchange current density (10 mA/cm2 for Pt, against 0.3 mA/cm2 for Au). However, gold is known as a more inert m...

in this study, different methods of separating of the microalgae from the culture medium as one of the most important and expensive steps in achieving commercial production of biodiesel from microalgae was investigated. electro coagulation-flotation (ecf) was preferred among these methods due to its process simplicity and capability to scale up. the effect of three parameters, i.e., initial ph,...

Boron-doped zinc oxide sheet-spheres were synthesized on PET-ITO flexible substrates using a hydrothermal method at 90 °C for 5 h. The results of X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that the B atoms were successfully doped into the ZnO lattice, the incorporation of B led to an increase in the lattice constant of ZnO and a change in its internal stress. The growth me...

background: natural organic matter is the cause of many problems associated with water treatment such as the presence of disinfection by-products (dbps) and membrane fouling during water filtration. in this study, the performance of the peroxi-electrocoagulation process (pep) was investigated for the removal of humic acids (has) from aqueous solutions. methods: pep was carried out for the remov...
