Erbium-incorporated silicophosphate glasses are very desirable in principal sectors such as photonics, optoelectronics, lasers, and illuminating diodes. The focus of the current investigation has been on determining how the erbium dopant affects the optical, physical, and structural characteristics of the silicophosphate-based glasses. The pure silicophosphate glasses and doped with various contents of erbium were prepared by the sol-gel process in this work.

- The study explores the use of a new natural dye from Moroccan red algae in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), marking the first investigation of this material for such an application.
- Key pigments in the red algae, including phycoerythrin, carotenoid, and chlorophyll, were identified as crucial for enhancing the semiconductor's performance.
- The DSSC achieved an efficiency of 0.93%, with further analysis on its absorbance, photoluminescence, and electronic properties conducted through density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Optical and morphological properties of Curcuma longa dye for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
November 2021
New experimental results of morphological and optical properties of Curcuma longa dye thin film were investigated. The thin films were deposited by physical vapor deposition technique. Morphological properties were measured using atomic force microscopy technique and they show a granular structure which above there are nanotubes shapes.
