Different techniques are used to identify the structure of DFPDAEHPQD, such as 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) 13 C NMR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements. XRD analysis showed that DFPDAEHPQD had a polycrystalline nature, and TGA results illustrated that the DFPDAEHPQD was thermally stable up to about 300 o C. Optical parameters and absorption coefficient of DFPDAEHPQD were calculated using diffused reflectance (DR) measurements in a wide range of wavelengths (200 to 1600 nm). Two optical bandgap values (2.35 and 2.25 eV) were obtained in the applied range of photon energy using Kubelka–Munk theory (KMT). The first value (2.35 eV) is responsible for the direct transition, while the other value (2.25 eV) is responsible for the indirect transition. The AC conductivity obeyed the universal power-law σ AC (ω) = Aω s . Moreover, DFPDAEHPQD showed highly significant antitumor activity and cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines: HepG-2 and HCT-116, with the corresponding IC 50 values of 3.07 and 7.15 μg/ml, respectively. Finally, we hope that DFPDAEHPQD turns out to be environmentally friendly and more energy efficient a novel semiconductor for safe use in various electronic and biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":445633,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Solids","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114741868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Paschen-like curve is observed. Because of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer's excellent properties, it can be used in many fields, including food packaging and agriculture, after plasma treatment. A solution-casting approach was used to create pure polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. In the second regime, Oxygen plasma treatment was used to modify the PVA surface at a constant power of 1000W with different O 2 flow rates and pressures. XRD, ATR-FTIR, and UV-vis spectra were used to examine the surface properties of the films. An X-ray study revealed that the pure PVA film is semi-crystalline in nature. The transmission peaks of the treated plasma film are clearly intense at 15 sec, 26 mbar, and 6 L/min. At 26 mbar, a slight peak shift towards higher wavenumbers is observed, corresponding to the C-O stretching of acetyl groups. The highest transmittance, nearly 64 percent, is found in the UV region of the UV-vis spectra at the same optimised conditions as FTIR. As a result of these findings, PVA became a transparent material for greenhouses. technique is still limited in the second regime.

The average daily global hourly solar radiation values on horizontal surfaces (H) and the global hourly solar radiation values on inclined surfaces (Ht) had been measured in the south direction of the sun for the meteorological variables. Miguel et al. correlation was used to determine hourly values of the beam and diffuse components of solar radiation (SR) from global solar irradiance. In order to attain the best solar module performance throughout the year, the solar energy devices must be tilted south with a tilting angle equal to Tanta city's latitude.

The performance of 100 W solar silicon photovoltaic (PV) module in outdoor conditions can be studied by depending on the incident values of H and Ht. The obtained results showed that the efficiencies of the 100 W solar PV module in winter, spring, summer and autumn were 4.29, 3.78, 7.56 and 4.58 %, respectively. The maximum power point (Pmax) was calculated in July and its value was 45.98 W at solar noon and the minimum power point (Pmin) was calculated in October with a value equal to 18.56 W at solar noon.
