Their two-dimensional structure, coupled with outstanding chemical, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties makes them suitable for charge transport in small molecule non-fullerene acceptor (SM-NFA)-based BHJOSCs. INTIC a rarely studied SM-NFA is used for this study due to its superior near-infrared absorption and smaller bandgap compared to other NFAs. In this study, we perform a numerical investigation of BHJOSCs with PBDB-T:INTIC as the active layer with graphene derivatives as transport layers, mainly as hole transport layer utilizing SCAPS-1D software. We first validate the software using a reference device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PBDB-T:NCBDT/PDINO/Al, as reported experimentally. Next, we replace the non-fullerene acceptor NCBDT with INTIC. Additionally, graphene derivatives are explored as replacements for the conventional PEDOT:PSS HTL, owing to their enhanced role in charge extraction, transport, and their ability to provide protection against environmental degradation and improved durability. Specifically, graphene, p-graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are employed as HTLs.

AISI H13 hot work tool steel is well-suited for applications involving forming and hot working tooling, owing to its exceptional strength, hardness, hardenability, and resistance to thermal softening. The great mix of characteristics makes it challenging to manufacture. This study evaluates the latest EDM techniques applied to machining AISI H13. This study investigates the influence of peak current (10A–30A), pulse ON-time (100μs–250μs), pulse OFF-time (7μs–18μs), and powder concentration (2gm/L-5gm/L) on surface roughness (SR), tool wear rate (TWR), and material removal rate (MRR) for machining AISI H13 material by nano particle mixed EDM. The experimental runs were developed using concepts from Response Surface Methodology within the Design of Experiments (DOE) framework to minimize the number of tests conducted. Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed to develop regression models, resulting in quadratic model for SR, TWR and MRR. ANOVA was used to assess the influence of input factors on outcomes. Optimization was conducted utilizing Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The execution of a test run facilitated a comparison between the actual outcomes and the optimized results. In both instances, RSM and GA yielded satisfactory results. A scanning electron microscope was employed to investigate the morphology of machined surfaces. The impact of EDM bombardment on the machined surface and its layers was assessed by examining a cross-section under SEM. This allowed for a comparison of the composition of the recast layer, heat-affected zone, and base metal through visual inspection and EDX analysis. The micro-hardness of the machine surface integrity was evaluated by analysing the heat-affected zone, recast layer, and parent material.

The preparation of pure r-GO sheets and SnO₂/r-GO NCs was accomplished by the use of the one-pot green method. Several imaging and spectroscopic methods, including as X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL), UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman scattering microscopy, were used in order to describe the materials that were synthesized. Following the addition of r-GO, the crystallite size of the SnO₂ nanoparticles increased. Using transmission electron microscopy, it was discovered that the SnO₂ nanoparticles were securely linked to the r-GO sheets. According to the results of the optical experiments, the bandgap energy of the SnO₂/r-GO NCs was slightly lower when compared to the energy of the pure r-GO sheet. After r-GO doping, the PL spectra of the SnO₂/r-GO NCs were found to be less intense compared to those of pure r-GO. This indicates that the recombination rate of the surface charges (e⁻/h⁺) reduced. The results of this study indicate that the degrading efficiency of SnO₂/r-GO NCs was nearly twice as high as that of methyl orange (MO) dye, which was 99%. This is in comparison to the 95% efficiency of pure r-GO. A unique strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic effectiveness of SnO₂ nanoparticles is suggested in this study. This strategy involves fusing graphene derivatives with SnO₂ nanoparticles.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21085,"journal":{"name":"Results in Surfaces and Interfaces","volume":"19 ","pages":"Article 100466"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143580178","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}

Chitosan, a derivative of chitin derived from abundant crustacean shell waste, has notable properties that make it suitable for applications in various fields, including wastewater treatment, food packaging, wound dressing, biomedical uses, and more. Chitosan is also known to absorb oil, making it an eco-friendly adsorbent for oil spill removal applications. This study aims to explore the extent of chitosan's eco-friendly application in cleaning used lubricant oil, explicitly focusing on removing permanganate content from used oil. Chitosan solution was added to the used oil, and the treated oil was analyzed using FTIR and UV–Vis. The FTIR spectrum, covering a range of 3500–600 cm⁻¹, indicated the presence of chitosan functional groups in the treated lubricant oil, enhancing its environmental compatibility. Additionally, the UV–Vis testing revealed an energy gap of 5.14 eV. The chitosan mass and pH conditions were found to play significant roles in the treatment process. Seven grams of chitosan in 2 L of used oil optimally reduced permanganate content by approximately 64%–66%. In acidic conditions (pH 3), chitosan further reduced permanganate content by around 67.82%.

The adsorption equilibrium data for the Cr(VI) adsorption process fitted well with the Freundlich isotherm model of adsorption and adsorption kinetics disclosed that the data are in excellent agreement with R² values of 0.98721 for the pseudo-second-order, indicating that the sorption process is by chemisorption.
