In the present study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to explore the optoelectronic and thermoelectric features of YAgSe₂ and YAgTe₂ materials. The cohesive energies for YAgSe₂ and YAgTe₂ were predicted to be −4.57 eV/atom and −4.76 eV/atom, respectively.. Both materials display no signs of dynamic instability, as indicated by the absence of imaginary modes, signifying that they are thermodynamically stable. Both materials show semiconducting properties, based on their electronic band structure, although YAgTe₂ has a narrower band gap than YAgSe₂, which renders it more suited for infrared absorption. The visible and near-infrared regions have high absorption coefficients, suggesting they could be used as absorber layers in optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, the important thermoelectric parameters are determined for evaluating thermoelectric performance. With low lattice thermal conductivity and favorable ZT, both materials exhibit potential thermoelectric efficiency, especially at high temperatures. The addition of YAgSe₂ and YAgTe₂′s optical and thermoelectric features makes them material choices for solar energy conversion and storage. The investigation highlights the potential of these materials for sustainable energy technologies and provides an extensive theoretical framework for comprehending their features.

These problems persuade the growing demand for carbon nanostructures, as low effective cost adsorbents which possess acceptable adsorbent properties and are environmentally friendly, for achieving this objective. The assessment was carried out on using different constituent’s agro-precursors activated by Lab synthesized alkaline potassium ferrate-assisted (K₂FeO₄; KF)/ potassium hydroxide (KOH; K), then introducing N-atom through hydrothermal route (N-doped porous bio-carbons). The carbon precursors used were giant reed (GR), date palm fiber (DP), and sugar-cane bagasse (SCB). The investigated adsorbents were characterized by different techniques; while their adsorption behavior was estimated from the removal efficiency of anionic dye [reactive black 5 dye (RB5) together with cationic dye [methylene blue (MB)]. The data showed that the N-doped activated bio-carbon (SCB-KF) had the greatest BET surface area and total pore volume, measuring 503.5 m²/g and 0.403 cm³/g, respectively.
