The photovoltaic modules performance is hugely influenced by the Partial Shading (PS) effect, which results in the reduction of output power. It is caused by shadows of buildings, trees, moving clouds and towers. Under PS conditions, shaded modules receive less irradiance as compared to the unshaded modules, and this leads to overheating of PV array. The present work has been developed by a technique based on Dual Exponential Sawtooth (DES) pattern to reconfigure the PV modules so as to increase the PV output power under PS conditions along with the energy savings and economical aspects. In this technique, the PV modules of Total Cross Tied (TCT) technique and their physical locations are arranged as per DES pattern to distribute the shading effect over the entire array without altering the electrical connections of the PV modules. The DES arrangement gives the enhanced power of 41.48% by reducing the effect on any row of the shaded modules. Further, it provides the details about power sharing percentage as the number of shaded modules increase and also the affect of dynamic shade variation over the entire PV array. The proposed method validation with the existing methods for the analysis, simulation and hardware experimentation shows better performance in terms of mismatch losses and fill factor.

Thus, the advancement of effective photocatalysts represents a significant approach in addressing the energy crisis and environmental challenges. Spinel ferrites, with the general formula of MFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (M is a divalent metal ion such as Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Ni<sup>2+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Cu<sup>2+</sup>, etc.), have attracted considerable research interest. Interesting physicochemical properties such as narrow bandgap, magnetic recyclability, large surface area, excellent photoactivity, non-toxicity, earth-abundance, easy synthesis, stability, and other exciting properties have seen spinel ferrites emerged as suitable candidates for photocatalytic hydrogen fuel generation. For these reasons, this review attempts to provide an overview of the application of spinel ferrites in photocatalytic hydrogen fuel generation. Herein, latest research conducted in the last decade on the use of spinel ferrite as main and co-catalyst in photocatalytic hydrogen production has been reviewed. Attention has been paid to the crystal structure, prospects and shortcomings as photocatalysts, and synthesis methods, including advantages and disadvantages of various synthesis approaches of spinel ferrites. Moreover, the pathways to improve the performance and efficiency of spinel ferrites for effective water splitting are highlighted in this review. Finally, current challenges, future outlook, suggestions and research gaps in the use of spinel ferrites in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction have also been highlighted. The primary objective of this review is to demonstrate that spinel ferrites are regarded as a significant semiconductor photocatalyst due to their efficient absorption of visible light, suitable band alignment, and magnetic recyclability. This review offers a thorough understanding of spinel ferrite-based photocatalysts, encompassing recent research discoveries and progresses.

In our study, we have optimized ETL-free bifacial PSCs via simulation by selecting the suitable front transparent electrode (FTE), hole transport layer (HTL), and rear transparent electrode (RTE). Our investigation reveals that a potential well-like structure, associated with a small conduction band offset (CBO) at the FTE/perovskite interface holds significant potential for enhancing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the device. The upward shift in the valance band of HTL promotes recombination and reduces the device performance. The bandgap and electron affinity of RTE highly influence the band alignment at HTL/RTE interface. The NiO/Ag/NiO (NAN) tri-layer RTE provides a better band alignment with HTL, and improves the charge transportation and, hence, the device performance. Moreover, the thickness of the interfacial defect layer at the FTE/perovskite and perovskite/HTL interfaces significantly impacts device performance.

The effect of precursor concentration of MgO coating on the performance of DSSCs were investigated. It was found that, optimized coating of MgO for 90 seconds on SnO<sub>2</sub> improved all photovoltaic parameters, resulting in enhancement in efficiency by 42% compared to that of DSSC with bare SnO<sub>2</sub> photoanode. The coating of MgO would have reduced the trap states and suppressed interfacial recombination losses by preventing back electron transfer from the conduction band of the semiconductor to HOMO of dye molecule or redox species.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949821X24000450/pdfft?md5=ce30cb3374aa2bae15a4d71a3c669b6f&pid=1-s2.0-S2949821X24000450-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
