The influence of metal oxide transport layer and annealing temperature on perovskite solar cells (PSCs)
(2021)Organic-inorganic halide Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) are the leading third-generation solar cells with the possibility to provide a fraction of green and affordable energy in the next technological era of solar energy. ... -
Development of near real time and cumulative GIC proxy indices.
(2021)Geomagnetic storms are phenomena which can give rise to geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), which have an adverse effect on technology in that they can cause anomalous low frequency currents that damage critical ... -
Phytochemical investigation and biological studies of some South African plant species (Asteraceae and Hyacinthaceae)
(2021)Plants used in conventional medicine for the treatment of different ailments have been the bedrock for modern therapeutics. Scilla nervosa from the Hyacinthaceae family and Helichrysum panduratum and Helichrysum actutaum ... -
Baseline demand responsiveness framework for the conventional grid through appliance scheduling by evolutionary metaheuristics.
(2020)A major problem of many energy environments nowadays, is an obsolete and highly inefficient electricity supply system, the Conventional Grid (CG), characterized by a high peak to average ratio, out of an uncontrollable ... -
