In this paper, absorption and electrical calculations were performed using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) and CHARGE simulations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of optimizing the shape (nanodisk, sphere, and hemisphere), aspect ratio, diameter, lattice constant, and thickness of the nanostructure. These modifications significantly improved the performance of silicon solar cells, resulting in a PCE increase by 15.27%. The optimal PCE was obtained from modifying anti-reflection using a nanodisk structure with a diameter of 300 nm, a lattice constant of 600 nm, and a thickness of 187.5 nm.

This green manufacturing method significantly reduces environmental impact compared to traditional coating processes, a crucial aspect in today's world. Examination of the optical microstructure of the SiC composite revealed a clustering of reinforcements within the matrix, potentially resulting from additional barriers formed during the stirring process that impede the movement of SiC particles. Furthermore, incorporating copper-coated SiC reinforcement led to a more even distribution of reinforcements in the matrix. The ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness of the 3 wt% copper-coated metal matrix composite cast are 225.97 MPa, 130.27 MPa, and 76.5 BHN, respectively, demonstrating superior mechanical properties compared to the other cast composites.

Excess Fe compromised plant biomass, but Si improved it. Excess Zn provoked similar responses except in canola. In the monocot root AP, excess Fe increased phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), cell wall peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities. Phenolics accumulated mostly in monocots roots under excess Fe whereas lignin accumulated in nearly all roots and similar but weaker effects observed under excess Zn. Under excess Fe, Si stimulated cell wall POD activity and declined phenolics in monocot roots. The corresponding responses were much weaker in dicot roots. FTIR data differentiated altered cell wall functional groups in monocots and dicots after treatments, however, monocots data were more diverse than dicots. Si is more efficient to substitute for lignin metabolism in monocots than in dicots under excess Fe.
