Photovoltaic (PV) cells, or solar cells, are semiconductor devices that convert solar energy directly into DC electric energy. In the 1950s, PV cells were initially used for space applications to power satellites, but in the 1970s, they began …
The current density of the coal-free sample also increased to a certain extent at a cell voltage of 0.7–1.0 V. This is because the organic compounds in wastewater A were oxidized via the catalysis of Fe 3+, which means that the oxidation of coal particles and organic matter in wastewater occurs simultaneously at a cell voltage of 0.7–1.0 V.
This process enhances light absorption and the resulting efficiency of solar cells by reducing surface roughness. It may be used in particular to mitigate wafer sawing damage. Alkaline wastewater containing silicon can cause the evolution of hydrogen, thus treatment processes must be carefully designed to avoid explosion risks.

Producing hydrogen from solar and wind energy is stored for electricity production via a fuel cell in case of excess electricity or selling hydrogen directly to the market (Bernal-Agustín and Dufo-López 2010; Nasser et al. 2022b). The main drawback of using wind and solar separately is the high hydrogen production cost compared to other ...

Symbol of a Photovoltaic cell. A solar cell or photovoltaic cell (PV cell) is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1]
The solar cells, which are primarily composed of silicon, undergo thermal processes to remove plastic and metal layers [35,36]. This purification process results in refined silicon, which can be reintroduced into the production of new solar cells or used in diverse silicon-based industries [37,38]. The metal framing, typically made of aluminium ...
The soil microbial fuel cell (SMFC) has been widely used for soil remediation for its low cost and being eco-friendly.
