CuZnSnSe (CZTSe) is a promising material for thin-film solar cells due to its suitable band gap, high absorption coefficient, and composition of earth-abundant and nontoxic elements. In this study, we prepared CZTSe thin films from Cu/SnSe and ZnSe stacks using a two-step annealing process. Initially, Cu-Sn-Se (CTSe) films were synthesized by sequential deposition and annealing of Cu and SnSe precursors in either a selenium (Se) or tin-selenium (Sn+Se) atmosphere.

A microcrystalline p-ZnTe layer and n-CdS were grown on glass/ZnO substrate by closed space sublimation method. As frontal contact to CdS, the transparent ZnO and as a back contact to ZnTe, silver conductive paste (Ag) treated at 50 °C in vacuum were used.

- * Researchers developed five new sulfanilamide Schiff bases using microwave irradiation, testing them for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against various bacteria, as well as their cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines.
- * The Schiff bases showed better effectiveness than the original sulfanilamide, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, with specific compounds significantly reducing cancer cell viability, indicating the importance of halogen groups in enhancing their effects.
Luteolin derivates are plant compounds with multiple benefits for human health. Stability to heat and acid hydrolysis and high resistance to (auto)oxidation are other arguments for the laden interest in luteolin derivates today. The present study was designed to compare the in silico and in vitro anti-proliferative potential of two luteolin derivates, luteolin-7--glucoside/cynaroside (7-Lut) and luteolin-8--glucoside/orientin (8-Lut).
