Schematic of microplastic (MP) pollution, removal, and degradation. MPs originate from plastic waste, accumulate in ecosystems, and are removed via magnetic separation or degraded by biodegradation, AOPs, and electrochemical processes for recycling.

Incorporation of Ag into CeO₂ increases oxygen vacancies and lowers down the overpotential of the catalyst for electrocatalytic evolution of H₂ and O₂.

A Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) absorber film, fabricated at low temperature using atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) printing, is used to fabricate simple heterojunction solar cells on rigid and flexible substrates.

An effective route that produces flat, planar protonic half-cells with impressive dimensions of up to 50 × 50 mm², constructed using NiO–SrZr_0.5Ce_0.4Y_0.1O_3−δ as the fuel electrode, ensuring minimal warping and no cracks in the end-fired state.

A Co–Ni–CuBTC composite shows enhanced charge separation, reduced recombination, and synergistically enhanced photocatalytic H₂ production at 23.9 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ under visible light.

The project has been designed to produce hydrogen with catalytic water splitting reactions.

An electrocatalyst is needed to efficiently lower the reaction barriers to produce hydrogen through the H₂ evolution reaction (HER).

Schematic illustration of scientific information extraction from papers using LLMs.

Schematic of Cu-TiO₂-based DSSC, showing the layered structure, charge transport, and performance comparison with TiO₂. The J–V characteristics and PCE highlight the enhanced photovoltaic efficiency of Cu-TiO₂ photoanodes.
