The present work demonstrates the high photovoltaic power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.12% using single wall carbon nanohorn assisted carbon counter electrode based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which demonstrates a superior PCE compared to that of platinum (9.41%). This superior performance was a motivation to fabricate a dye sensitized solar module (DSSM) consisting of six series connected DSSCs arranged in a bifacial manner toward the application of building integrated photovoltaics. The DSSM demonstrated a remarkable, champion PCE of 19.71%. This high PCE, driven to fabricate an integrated device (photocapacitor), consists of a DSSM and a supercapacitor (SC). Upon two-sided illumination, the DSSM generated electrical power, and the same power is used for charging the supercapacitor. A working light emitting diode is demonstrated with discharge of the SC. The detailed fabrication strategies and results are discussed.
The flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretching sheet with non-uniform heat source/sink is considered in the present analysis. Effects of nonlinear thermal radiation and second order slip are taken along with uniform magnetic field. System of partial differential equations governing the described problem is reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations with aid of similarity transformations. Further, reduced equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 45 order method with shooting technique. Effects all flow pertinent parameters are recorded in terms of tables and graphs. The results are studied with help of plotted graphs, tables. Results are compared with existing one for some limiting cases and are found to be excellent agreement. It is found that both first, second order velocity slip parameters reduces the thickness of momentum boundary layer and hence decrease the velocity as a result of this one can find the increase in thermal boundary layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
