However, deep defects due to lattice disorders in the 3D halide perovskite cause to limit the performance of the halide perovskite solar cells. We have numerically simulated and investigated the optimum deep defect density of the 3D-MAPI layer of the p-i-n solar cell model with the structure of Glass/ITO(TCO)/PEDOT: PSS(HTM)/i-2D-MAPI/i-3D-MAPI/i-2D-MAPI/PCBM(ETM)/Ag. Due to the degradation of the organic components under some environmental conditions, the Pb-based organic perovskite solar cells need protective films. This 2D-3D-2D perovskite solar cell has been modeled as a stable perovskite solar cell, by inserting thin 2D-MAPI layers on both sides of the 3D-MAPI to reduce the degradation and moisture issues. Using SCAPS-1D solar cell simulation software, the deep defect density in the 3D halide perovskite layer was optimized to obtain the best performance of the cell model. Our simulation results have indicated that the deep defect density of the 3D-MAPI layer should not exceed 1012cm−3 for high performance. Also, low dark saturation current density and low Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination current density were observed at the low deep defect density in the 3D-MAPI layer.","PeriodicalId":6855,"journal":{"name":"2021 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon)","volume":"34 1","pages":"659-663"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80351243","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}

Central composite design of experiments (DOE) was applied to develop a statistical model to identify the main effects and interaction effects of process parameters: acid concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time. The proposed quadratic model showed a high adjusted determination coefficient (0.91) and Fischer's test value (22.4), indicating that the model is adequate to characterize the relationships among the process parameters and explain the variation observed in response. Acid concentration and reaction temperature have significant first order and quadratic effects on hemicellulose recovery. However, reaction time exhibited only a significant quadratic effect on hemicellulose recovery. The maximum hemicellulose yield (15.78%) was obtained at optimal conditions of 0.26 moldm−3 acid concentration, 98.1°C reaction temperature, and 30.48 min reaction time.

The same heat treatment process applied in the local industry comprising solution treatment: keeping at 530°C for 4 hours, followed by age hardening treatment: keeping at 205°C for 150 minutes and air cooling, was carried out at laboratory scale. The average hardness and strength of heat-treated samples were measured as 66.5 HV and 210.5 MPa, respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) examination showed that secondary phase precipitates formed during this aging treatment belong to two types of precipitates, they are Silicon-Iron rich and Magnesium-Silicon-Iron rich precipitates. The average number of precipitates, precipitate size and area covered by precipitates were calculated by Image J software. Percentages of precipitates belong to three different size ranges were analyzed as 50.10 percent, 45.13 percent, and 4.77 percent for $0.0-0.2 mu mathrm{m}, 0.2-1.5 mu mathrm{m}$ and above $1.5 mu mathrm{m}$, respectively.

During December, when both the solar irradiation and temperature were high, the water spray system in combination with two agro shading nets (each with a shading rate of 40-50%) could effectively reduce the temperature to $2 pm 2 {}^{0}mathrm{C}$ and control solar irradiation below 13500 lux. Under an initial biomass density of 0.2875 g/L and an atmospheric air flow rate of 1 vvm, Haematococcus pluvialis showcased a maximum biomass accumulation of 0.45 g/L and the maximum productivity of 20 mg/L/day. In addition, the reactor system and its design exhibited good performance, implying a potential scale-up opportunity.

Sri Lanka being an island surrounded by the sea with about 1300 km long coastal belt, the country holds a theoretical potential of generating a significant amount of power for the national grid from wave energy conversion. Hence this research is focused on the analysis of an improved wave energy convertor which suits Sri Lankan coastal weather conditions. Analysis was conducted based on the wave patterns in the coastal belt to identify the most suitable places to implement wave energy converters. A comparison of existing wave energy conversion technologies and computation simulations were conducted to identify suitable technology for the local wave conditions. The study revealed that the point absorber type wave energy converter was the best solution compatible with wave conditions for the selected coastal region. Buoy geometry of the point absorber was analyzed using computational simulations to select the best geometry. The simulation results showed that the half capsule shape produced the highest force extraction compared to the other shapes.","PeriodicalId":6855,"journal":{"name":"2021 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon)","volume":"35 1","pages":"245-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73676480","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}

In the recent past, rice straw has gained momentum as a source of cellulose. However, it is notable that rice straw generated from rice cultivation has less or no commercial value. In this study, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was extracted from Sri Lankan traditional rice straw variety Pachaperumal and hybrid variety BG352 in two distinct stages. Initially, a series of chemical treatment methods that includes removal of wax and oil, lignin, hemicellulose and silica was employed to extract cellulose fibers from the aforementioned rice straw varieties. Then, using high-intensity ultrasonication (HIUS) process microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) was isolated from the obtained chemically extracted cellulose fibers. FTIR analysis validated that the chemical composition of MFC from both varieties were mainly cellulose where hemicelluloses and lignin were successfully removed during the set of chemical processes. Study revealed that around 34 per cent cellulose was extracted from Pachaperumal and around 25 per cent cellulose was extracted from BG352. Out of these chemically extracted cellulose fibers around 16 per cent of MFC was disintegrated from Pachaperumal and around 9 per cent from BG352 via HIUS process. SEM analysis showed that the diameters of the MFC were in 200 to 300 nanometer range Results indicated that traditional variety yielded high amount of MFC than technically modified variety via the efficient multi-step treatment process with potential industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":6855,"journal":{"name":"2021 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon)","volume":"59 1","pages":"164-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78176843","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}
