Neodymium Indium sulphide (Nd4In5S13) photoactive electrode was produced by spin‐coating for photoelectrochemical cell. The photoactive electrode is analysed for its crystalline, structural and elements makeup in addition to its optical and electrical responses. A 56 nm sized orthorhombic crystallite was found and geometrical compact structures were observed. The presence of chief elements with core levels of In3d, Nd4d and S2p were detected. The bandgap energy was found to be 4.1 eV. Electrochemical investigations were performed to evaluate the photoactive efficiency of the electrode. Photo‐cyclic voltammetry present a specific capacitance under illumination to be 570 Fg−1, as contrasting to 481 Fg−1 when in dark. A photocurrent density of 282 mA cm−2 was obtained from photo‐linear sweep voltammetry. It had also been discovered that the transient chronoamperometry provided a photocurrent density of 46.1 mA cm−2. Whereas electrical impedance spectroscopy presented internal resistance (Rs) to be 232 Ω. All scan rates show an increase in the specific capacitance of photo‐electrode when illuminated. The research created an effective photo‐electrode for renewable energy structures. It can be posited that the study presented a pragmatic photoelectrode, which had the potential to be employed in sustainable energy frameworks, including but not limited to photovoltaics, supercapacitors, and photoelectrochemical solar cells.

Spin coating from a single source precursor is used to produce a transparent conductive electrode for a photoelectrochemical cell. Yb 2 S 3 :Cu 2 S:ZnS is discovered in the composite using X-ray diffraction analysis with a crystallite size of 44 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveal that the composite comprises Yb, Cu, Zn, and S with an optical bandgap of 2.49 eV. Electrical investigations in a photoelectrochemical cell are measured using cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, transient chronoamperometry (CA), and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Every experiment shows that the photocurrent density of the electrode is higher than when it is in the light. At all scan rates, light causes the photoelectrode's specific capacitance to increase. Specific capacitance is found to have a maximum value under illumination of 789 Fg À1 as opposed to 745 Fg À1 in the absence of a light source. The highest photocurrent density achieved by the electrode through CA is 23.5 mA. R s value of 23.4 Ω is subsequently obtained by the EIS investigation. It might be stated that this work introduces a useful photoelectrode that can be used in renewable energy systems such as photovoltaics, supercapacitors, and photoelectrochemical solar cells.

The development of emerging technologies in a wide variety of distinct fields requires continuous innovation and implementation to advance civilization. The goal of this scientific scheme is to find smart technological materials. Recent years have seen an increase in attention to electrospinning, an electrostatic fiber fabrication method, owing to its flexibility and possibility of utilizing it in the fields of manufacturing, biomedical, textile, and aerospace industry. Similarly, self-healing materials have fascinated many researchers recently due to their effectiveness in improving the durability of materials and products. The concept of self-healing is a fresh perspective for advanced and responsive materials. They can be fabricated to mimic the healing ability of biological organisms, and therefore, can automatically and instantly repair damaged parts. Integrating electrospun nanofiber (0.01 to 10 μm diameter range) with a self-healing mechanism is applicable in various engineering applications. Core/shell nanofibers have been recently used in advanced composites to induce self-healing and to enhance material reinforcement.
