Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) are one of the most studied cost-efficient solar cells with commercially available Ru-based dyes as the photosensitizer[1]. There has been a considerable interest to utilise natural ...

The utilization of toxic chemicals for the synthesis of nanoparticles has limited its application in the field of nanotechnology. The use of natural precursors in the nanoparticle synthesis has opened new paths in the ...

Graphene is one of the most promising nanomaterial due to its unique combination of exceptional properties with wide range of applications. Single atomic thickness with extremely high electron mobility and a zero-band ...

The R&D works on so-called ‘batteries beyond lithium-ion’ took an exponential growth in recent days due to the overwhelming demand for secondary batteries; particularly for portable electronic and automotive applications. ...

This study investigates the changes in future climate over Jaffna peninsula in Sri Lanka using data extracted from variable resolution Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) simulations. CCAM is based on a quasi-uniform ...

Tetragonal zirconia is known as ‘ceramic steel’ due to its excellent hardness and fracture toughness. However, at low temperatures (< 300 C) and in the presences of hydroxyls, tetragonal zirconia transforms into ...

Clothing of the conventional radiation shielding protects patients and medical personnel from unnecessary radiation exposures constructed from lead-soaked sheet materials, which is a source of environmental pollution. ...

Minimizing the optical losses is very crucial in achieving higher efficiencies is silicon solar cells. More than 30% of the incident light is lost via reflection in planner silicon solar cells and this is more pronounced ...

The use of plants for the preparation of medicines has been increased in the world due to the presence of antimicrobial agents in the plants. Antimicrobial agent is a compound which selectively destroys or inhibits the ...
