Eco-friendly green synthesis of Fe-doped WS using neem leaf extract: unlocking large interlayer spacing for improved capacitance and rapid ion transport.

Iron-doped tungsten disulfide (Fe-WS) nanoparticles were synthesized a green method using neem leaf extract. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed structural changes, with the formation of a hexagonal structure. The -spacing is increased by Fe doping (6.

Accessing the synthesis of natural products and their analogues enabled by the Barbier reaction: a review.

The Barbier reaction is significantly referred to as one of the efficient carbon-carbon bond forming reactions which involves the treatment of haloalkanes and carbonyl compounds by utilizing the catalytic role of a diverse range of metals and metalloids. The Barbier reaction is tolerant to a variety of functional groups, allowing a broad substrate scope with the employment of lanthanides, transition metals, amphoteric elements or alkaline earth metals. This reaction is also water-resistant, thereby overcoming the challenges posed by moisture sensitive organometallic species involving C-C bond formation reactions.

Exploring the synthetic potential of epoxide ring opening reactions toward the synthesis of alkaloids and terpenoids: a review.

Epoxides are oxygen containing heterocycles which are significantly employed as crucial intermediates in various organic transformations. They are considered highly reactive three-membered heterocycles due to ring strain and they undergo epoxide ring opening reactions with diverse range of nucleophiles. Epoxide ring-opening reactions have gained prominence as flexible and effective means to obtain various functionalized molecules.

A novel investigation of pressure-induced semiconducting to metallic transition of lead free novel BaSbI perovskite with exceptional optoelectronic properties.

The structural, electronic, mechanical, and optical characteristics of barium-based halide perovskite BaSbI under the influence of pressures ranging from 0 to 10 GPa have been analyzed using first-principles calculations for the first time. The new perovskite BaSbI material was shown to be a direct band gap semiconductor at 0 GPa, but the band gap diminished when the applied pressure increased from 0 to 10 GPa. So the BaSbI material undergoes a transition from semiconductor to metallic due to high pressure at 10 GPa.

Improving the efficiency of a CIGS solar cell to above 31% with SbS as a new BSF: a numerical simulation approach by SCAPS-1D.

The remarkable performance of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS)-based double heterojunction (DH) photovoltaic cells is presented in this work. To increase all photovoltaic performance parameters, in this investigation, a novel solar cell structure (FTO/SnS/CIGS/SbS/Ni) is explored by utilizing the SCAPS-1D simulation software. Thicknesses of the buffer, absorber and back surface field (BSF) layers, acceptor density, defect density, capacitance-voltage (-), interface defect density, rates of generation and recombination, operating temperature, current density, and quantum efficiency have been investigated for the proposed solar devices with and without BSF.
