Construction of magnetically recoverable novel Z-scheme La(OH)3/α-MnO2/MnFe2O4 photocatalyst for organic dye degradation under UV-visible light illumination

G. Palanisamy et al.

Summary: The magnetically recoverable La(OH)(3)/alpha-MnO2/MnFe2O4 nanocomposite prepared via a simple wet impregnation process exhibits remarkable photocatalytic activity. The ferromagnetic behavior of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles and the high light absorption capacity of alpha-MnO2 nanorods contribute to the improved photocatalytic performance. This composite material shows potential applications in the energy and environmental sectors.

Effect of photovoltaic performance of plant-based cocktail DSSCs and adsorption of nano TiO2 onto the solvent-influenced dye sensitizers

Pooja Prakash et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to fabricate an effective solar cell using extracts from Aloe Vera, False Daisy, Papaya leaves, and a combination of these extracts. The sensitization time and extraction procedure of natural dye sensitizers were optimized and analyzed. The absorbance spectra of the natural dyes and the characteristics of the dye molecules were examined. The DSSCs photovoltaic characteristics were analyzed by various parameters, and the efficiency of the nano TiO2-based DSSC using the Cocktail extract was found to be approximately 1.79%, while the Aloe Vera extract achieved an efficiency of about 0.75%. The combination extract in ethanol displayed high photosensitization effects.

Performance of Natural Dye Extracted from Annatto, Black Plum, Turmeric, Red Spinach, and Cactus as Photosensitizers in TiO2NP/TiNT Composites for Solar Cell Applications

Shibu Joseph et al.

Summary: This study focuses on selecting and extracting natural dyes for use as sensitizers in DSSCs, utilizing fresh sources such as annatto fruits, black plums, cactus fruits, turmeric roots, and red spinach leaves. The dye pigments were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and FT-IR, with the highest power conversion efficiencies achieved using dyes extracted from annatto fruits. The accessibility and low-cost nature of these natural resources make them unique candidates for solar cell fabrication.
