By incorporating PDI-C8, a heterostructure is formed, enhancing visible light absorption and resulting in improved visible light sensing performance. Multiple material analyses also reveal that the organic PDI-C8 is stacked nearly vertically on the ZnO NRs, forming an organic layer with internal voids. As the amount of organic material increases, bubble-like microstructures may form on the surface. Furthermore, an appropriate heterojunction between ZnO and PDI-C8 facilitates broadband light sensing. Experimental results show that pure ZnO-NRs devices exhibit UV photosensing only, whereas ZnO-NRs devices with 1 drop of PDI-C8 exhibit strong blue and green light responses, and those with 3 drops of PDI-C8 demonstrate an improved red light response. These findings suggest that the sensing spectrum can be tuned by controlling the amount of PDI-C8 on ZnO NRs.

The viscoelastic property and the nonlinear behavior of the fluid flow embodied the Cauchy stress tensor of the tangent hyperbolic model. The flow is influenced by gravity, porous saturated spinning cone medium, and transverse magnetic field, which stimulates internal heating. Without fluid material deformation, a mathematical differential model is developed to describe the momentum and energy flow dimensions. A comprehensive analysis of the transformed theoretical model is conducted using the Galerkin-weighted residual method in the presence of radiative heat transfer and heat gain. It was revealed from the study that, a rise in the magnetic field intensity inspires Joule heating, increasing the fluid heat distribution and influencing the boundary layer viscosity. Also, radiative heat transfer moderating prompts temperature profile due to convective heat gain.
