Summary: Chemical bath deposition is used to deposit tin oxide as an electron-transport layer in perovskite solar cells. Thioglycolic acid, the conventional chemical used in this process, has been found to negatively affect the stability of the cells. In this study, oxalic acid is introduced as a replacement for thioglycolic acid. Oxalic acid acts as a chemical linker to facilitate particle attachment to the substrate and can be easily removed through thermal annealing and a mild H2O2 treatment. This rational design of the tin oxide layer resulted in significantly improved efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cells.

Summary: In this study, a copper oxide thin film was prepared using the CW laser assisted-chemical bath deposition (LACBD) technique. The effect of laser wavelength on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of CuO film was investigated. Increasing the laser wavelength resulted in decreasing the grain size of the film and enhancing the crystallization. The p-CuO/n-Si heterojunction photodetectors exhibited two peaks of response at 450 nm and 800 nm.

Summary: Various pesticides and organic compounds generated as a result of rapid industrialization and pharmaceutical companies pose a major threat to the environment. Novel photocatalysts based on zinc oxide and titanium oxide exhibit great potential towards absorption of these organic pollutants from wastewater. However, several limitations like poor affinity, particle agglomeration, high band gap, and recovery issues need to be addressed to enhance their efficiency and make them cost effective and sustainable.

Summary: The formation of Cd-free Zn1-xSnxOy (ZTO) thin film buffer layers for CIGSe solar cells was studied using chemical bath deposition. By modifying the deposition procedure, flatter ZTO films were obtained with inhibited columnar growth. Increasing the concentration of Sn in the chemical bath resulted in a nontrivial increase in the bandgap. Using a 20% Sn concentration, the CIGSe solar cells achieved similar performance to those with a CdS buffer layer, with a maximum efficiency of 10.4% and an average efficiency of 9%.

Summary: The study presents a convenient and scalable solution route, chemical bath deposition (CBD), for fabricating efficient hole transport layer, planar NiOx film, for inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). The CBD process allows adjustment of the film properties by varying the cation concentration, resulting in enhanced charge transport efficiency and improved efficiency of the solar cells from 16.14% to 18.17%.

Summary: This article reviews the possibilities of photocatalytically active ZnO nanomaterials synthesized using atomic layer deposition (ALD). ZnO, a widely researched photocatalytic material, is influenced by factors such as structure and morphology. The discussion includes the structural possibilities and the incorporation of other materials (such as elements, metals, or semiconductors) to form composite materials, such as ZnO/TiO2 heterostructures, polymer fibers, carbon nanomaterials (e.g. carbon nanotubes or graphene-oxide), and biomaterials.

Summary: Three commercial exterior photocatalytic paints and one In-house paint were tested using NO ISO method, showing little or no photocatalytic activity without weathering. Different paints require different weathering conditions for activation, with the STO paint showing fast and durable activation through condensation-only weathering. The presence of surface HNO3 affects the NOx removal activity of all paints towards the end of the irradiation period.

Summary: This study fabricated double-walled TiO2 nanotube arrays using an anode oxidation method with Zinc counter electrode, and investigated their photodegradation performance. It was found that the choice of counter electrode significantly influenced the structural and optical properties of TNAs, and TNAs prepared with Zinc counter electrode demonstrated superior photodegradation efficiency compared to other counter electrodes. The optical, structural, and surface morphological properties of TNAs were correlated with their photodegradation performance when prepared with different counter electrodes.

Summary: This study investigated the combining ability and heterosis of six mungbean parental lines and their F(1) hybrids. The results showed significant genetic variability among the parents and hybrids for yield and its components. Both additive and non-additive gene effects were involved in the inheritance of the measured traits. Specific combining ability had a higher effect than general combining ability for plant height and seeds per pod. BARI Mung-1, PS-7, and BMXK1-14004 were identified as the best general combiners for yield, while BMXK1-14004 x Sonali mung and BMXK1-14004 x PS-7 were the best heterotic hybrids.
