Herein, we evaluate the conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) photosensitized using two different natural dyes extracted from Alpinia purpurata and Alstroemeria flower petals. The appreciable absorption capacity of the extracts in the visible light region was examined through absorption spectroscopy. The functional groups of the corresponding pigments were identified through Fourier transform spectroscopy…

Water contamination caused by dyes from increased human activities, in particular usage in the textile sector, has led to high rates of disposal of both natural and synthetic dyes in the water stream, affecting the color and the ability of the light to penetrate through the water system. Several methods have been used for the…
This work covers the development of non-fullerene acceptors for use in organic photovoltaics built using the N-annulated perylene diimide dye. The classic perylene diimide dye has been extensively used to construct non-fullerene acceptors, leading to device power conversion efficiencies of over 10%. Strong visible light absorption and deep frontier molecular energy levels have made such…
Intending to provide efficient and compact wastewater remediation, the present work is exploiting and introducing a novel composite prepared from porous starch aerogel (PSA) and organically modified Ca-montmorillonite (OMMT) for the removal of dyes from aqueous samples. First, potato starch components were used as a hydrolysis precursor to obtain PSA. The organoclay samples were prepared…
The textile industry has been exploring sustainable chemicals and natural alternatives to replace harmful and carcinogenic substances used in different stages of textile production for dyeing textiles. Natural dyes are gaining popularity, as they are environmentally friendly and less harmful. Betacyanin, a type of pigment obtained from red pitahaya, commonly known as red dragon fruit…
