Optimizing Charge Transport Layers to Enhance the Performance of Lead-Free RbGeI Perovskite Solar Cells: A Comprehensive Analysis of ETL and HTL Engineering.

This study investigates innovative hybrid perovskite solar cells using rubidium-germanium-iodide (RbGeI) as the substrate, incorporating various hole transport layers like CuO, CuO, and SnSe, and wide-bandgap chalcogenide electron transport layers (ETLs) like IGZO, WS, InS, and ZnSe. After selecting IGZO as the optimal ETL, its depth was optimized using the SCAPS-1D simulator to evaluate device performance. Three device configurations were examined: device-I (Al/FTO/IGZO/RbGeI/CuO/Ni), device-II (Al/FTO/IGZO/RbGeI/CuO/Ni), and device-III (Al/FTO/IGZO/RbGeI/SnSe/Ni), with a detailed analysis of the doping concentration, thickness of the layer, density of defect, operational temperature, and interface defects.

Comparative evaluation of three herbal extracts on growth performance, immune response, and resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Litopenaeus vannamei.

This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with herbal extracts from Artemisia herba-alba, Lonicera japonica, and Lilium candidum on growth performance, survival, feed utilization, antioxidant capacity, and immune response in Litopenaeus vannamei. The efficacy of these herbal-supplemented diets was assessed in enhancing resistance against Vibrio parahaemolyticus-induced Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (Vp ). A total of 2,400 shrimp post-larvae (initial weight 0.

Combined Axial and Peripheral Melorheostosis in a Young Boy: A Unique Case.

Background: Axial melorheostosis is a rare clinical condition with only a few cases identified worldwide. The combination of axial and peripheral melorheostosis has not reported before, to the best of our knowledge.

Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of a 9-year-old boy, who was referred with pain and swelling over the medial upper right leg with slight limping of insidious onset over a 3-month period.

Rheological and chemical properties of reclaimed asphalt pavement using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) additive as a modifier.

Utilizing waste materials and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in road construction is gaining research interest. The pricey nature of building roads is attributed to the energy required for new material production and its environmental impact. The study investigated rheological and chemical properties of reclaimed asphalt pavement using PET additive as a modifier.
