Znln2S4 ‐based photocatalysts for producing hydrogen by water splitting under visible light
Hydrogen (H 2 ) is a clean energy carrier widely used in oil refineries, fertilizers, chemicals, and steel manufacturing. Presently, the majority of H 2 is produced from either steam methane reforming of natural gas or coal gasification; however, these technologies result in a massive amount of CO 2 emission. Alternatively, the use of photocatalysts for producing H 2 via water splitting is an eco‐friendly and sustainable approach, among which the selection of highly efficient, stable, and cheap photocatalysts is the key. In this review, Znln 2 S 4 ‐based photocatalysts are thoroughly described in terms of the fundamentals and thermodynamics of water splitting, fabrication methods, and different heterostructure photocatalytic systems. After this, recent developments in the large‐scale implementation of photocatalytic reactors are discussed. Finally, a summary of future research directions and major conclusions is provided. With proper modification, such as heterojunction systems and the selection of proper fabrication methods, Znln 2 S 4 ‐based photocatalysts could be superior materials for water splitting. In short, this review article could offer meaningful and useful insights and guidance for the development of Znln 2 S 4 ‐based photocatalysts in water splitting for producing H 2 under visible light.
A Numerical Study on Effects of Buffer Layers Electron Affinity on Cu2ZnSnS4 Based Solar Cell Using SCAPS-1D
Researchers are focusing more on CZTS type solar cells because of the competent characteristics of its constituent materials than CIGS, Si, CdTe solar cells. CZTS based thin-film is getting concern for its promising materials to implement in different photovoltaic applications with advantages like low manufacturing cost, high efficiency. Here, a numerical study and simulation is carried out using SCAPS-1D software in order to find a high-efficiency Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cell with a Cadmium free buffer layer. We optimized the thickness and electron affinity of buffer and absorber layer of the MoS2/CZTS/In2S3/ZnO/n-ITO, MoS2/CZTS/SnS2/ZnO/n-ITO and MoS2/CZTS/Zn2SnO4/ZnO/n-ITO solar cells. Where, different photovoltaic parameters such as Voc, Jsc, Fill Factor and efficiency have been studied and compared. Taking operating temperature of 300K, firstly we investigated best buffer layer among In2S3, SnS2 and Zn2SnO4 where efficiency of these layers were 15.26%, 15.28% and 15.25% respectively. After that, optimizing absorber layer, efficiency of 18.12% was achieved from the proposed model.
A Hypothetical Design Of Small Hydro Power Plant Using Sewage Water In The Perspective Of Dhaka City
At present, because of the growing rate of energy consumption along with the optimization of power supply, it is essential to build more substations, transmission lines and new power plants. In Bangladesh, our environment is also being polluted day by day because of an unplanned sewage system and its water. Dhaka is one of the biggest and densely populated megacities in the world. Intending to fulfill their water demand Dhaka WASA (Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage) produces 2,500 million liter of water every day. Which gives average 28 cubic meter water supply per second. Besides, Dhaka has 2,148 mm rainfall annually of 306 square km area. Which may be a great source for water supply to generate electricity. After the usage of water, usually, we throw away all the water in the river. But before throwing away, we can accumulate and can supply waste water to a sewage water treatment plant. Later the refined water will be supplied to a vortex gravitational turbine to produce electricity. At last, the water will be discharged to the river.
A Review on Feasibility of Solar Based Renewable Energy: A Projection Up to 2050
As energy demands are increasing exponentially due to the rapid growth in the world's population as well as in economic and technological advancement, to meet the needs of an increasing energy-dependent society, the world needs to think about sustainable renewable sources. According to the World Energy Assessment, by the year 2050, the energy demand is expected to increase near 30TW. Existing non-renewable sources, especially fossil fuels, are rarely sufficient to meet this enormous energy demand. The objective of this paper is to discuss why we should focus on renewable sources, its immense feasibility and how these sources, especially solar energy, will change the energy scenario in upcoming decades. In this paper, the whole work is divided into three sections. In the first section, the importance & the motivations behind concerning renewable energy is discussed. Furthermore, in the second and third sections, the present scenario of renewable energy as well as solar cell technology and a projection up to 2040-2050 along with scopes and challenges will be discussed respectively.
Feasibility & Resources of Biomass Energy: Perspective Bangladesh
Most of the cities in Bangladesh undergoes frequent power cut every day let alone rural areas. As energy demands are increasing daily, it is mandatory to find alternative energy sources. It is expected that energy demand will be dou-bled within the next decade. In this paper, our concern is on renewable sources. Bangladesh is an agricultural country. There are many farms in our native areas. Wastes of those farms like cattle dung, urine, etc. are being wasted every day. A brief overview of the present energy scenario of Bangladesh, energy sources, the possible amount of wastes, how to utilize these wastes to produce electricity and finally how this energy will contribute to the energy sector of Bangladesh will be presented in this paper. The discussion will be presented in several parts. Produc-tion of power from cattle dung or other wastes done by anaerobic digestion is the first method. The generation of power from urine is the second method. And wastes management system will also be discussed. The feasibility of raw re-sources related to the generation of electricity perspective Bangladesh will also be discussed in a wider sense.
Optimal Placement of FACTS Devices in the Power System Using ANN to Increase the System Loadability
Continuous monitoring of online voltage stability as well as increasing loadability of the existing electrical power system transmission lines are the most important issues for energy management systems in modern days. In this regard, the task of monitoring online voltage stability for various loading conditions is very much complex and time-consuming. This paper demonstrates an efficient voltage stability monitoring system using the computation of line voltage stability indices involving an artificial neural network (ANN) for reducing the complexity of an online voltage monitoring system that can provide warning information to the operator before voltage collapses. Comparative studies of system voltage stability and loadability at load point after placing the FACTS devices in the weakest lines of the power system are presented in this paper. In order to evaluate our proposed system how does it work; a series of experiments were conducted involving IEEE 14 bus power system network. The simulation result confirms that the proposed system can ensure power system operation security as well as reduce electrical power system installation cost by increasing system loadability.
