Flexible, biodegradable and recyclable solar cells: a review
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Solar energy is conceivably the largest source of renewable energy at our disposal, but vital advances are expected to make solar cells economically viable. Biodegradable and flexible solar cells are currently under extensive ...
High-performance adaptive Perturb and observe MPPT technique for photovoltaic-based microgrids
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has witnessed double-digit growth in the past decade. The penetration of PV systems as distributed generators in low-voltage grids has also seen significant attention. In addition, the need ...
Thermochemical splitting of CO2 using solution combustion synthesized LaMO3 (where, M = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Al, Cr, Sr)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The effort of this paper was to recognize the inclusion of appropriate dopants that will upgrade the redox reactivity of La-based perovskites. By maintaining the fuel (glycine) to metal nitrate ratio () = 1, the LaMO3 ...
Thermal characterization of phase change materials based on linear low-density polyethylene, paraffin wax and expanded graphite
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Thermal characterization of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) based on linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), paraffin wax (W) and expanded graphite (EG) is reported in this paper. Investigated PCMs showed high potential for ...
Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications in greenhouses: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Greenhouses represent one of the largest energy-demanding sectors, requiring energy for indoor environment control for plant growth and crop yield. Thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) has been ...
Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage properties of LDPE/wax as a shape-stabilized composite phase change material
(2014 , Article)
Phase change material (PCM) composites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with paraffin waxes were investigated in this study. The composites were prepared using a meltmixing method with a Brabender-Plastograph. The ...
Effectiveness of Ni incorporation in iron oxide crystal structure towards thermochemical CO2 splitting reaction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Ni-doped iron oxide (NixFe3−xO4) materials were synthesized via the 1,2-epoxypropane assisted sol-gel method by varying the molar concentration of Ni from x=0.2 to 1. Sol-gel derived NixFe3−xO4 gels were ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline CoFe2O4-zirconia via propylene oxide aided sol-gel method
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, a Co ferrite/ZrO2 ceramic nanomixture, with a uniform distribution of Co ferrite and ZrO2, was synthesized by the propylene-oxide-assisted sol gel method. Cobalt, iron, and zirconium nitrate salts were used ...
Application of cobalt incorporated Iron oxide catalytic nanoparticles for thermochemical conversion of CO2
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This investigation describes the application of the sol-gel synthesized CoxFe3?xO4 (CF) materials towards the solar thermochemical fuel production. The CF materials were derived by sol-gel method (where x was varied in the ...
