Solar research – a review and recommendations for the most important supplier of energy for the earth with solar systems

Nanostructured Photothermal Materials for Environmental and Catalytic Applications

“…Solar energy is produced from the fusion of hydrogen inside the sun [31] and has the following advantages: It is universal, harmless, enormous, and long-lasting. The sun provides the energy needed by living creatures on the earth directly or indirectly [32]. For example, plants convert solar energy into chemical energy and store it in their bodies through photosynthesis.…”

“…The first generation of solar cells mainly involve monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon solar cells. The second-generation solar cells are manufactured with various thinfilm substrates, mainly CdTe and amorphous silicon thin-film cells [31,32,36]. At present, the third-generation solar cells are in the research and development stage, among which dye-sensitized solar cells, chalcogenide solar cells, and organic solar cells are promising photovoltaic technologies for both outdoor and indoor applications [37][38][39].…”

Fuzzy Logic Control for High-Frequency Switching in Photovoltaic SEPIC DC/DC Converters and Three-Phase Inverters

“…However, renewable energy has become increasingly important in today's world as the human race faces the threat of climate change. Among the various available energy sources, solar energy is regarded as a clean and sustainable resource [1][2][3][4]. Using solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity and store it in high-capacity batteries is a highly efficient method for modern residential and industrial applications.…”

Dopant-induced electronic design of redox-active elements in LiMn2O4 spinel structures

“…1,2 For example, solar, wind, and geo-thermal energy resources have been researched to maximize the utilization of these resources in a sustainable way. 3,4 Despite significant efforts, the intermittent nature of energy resources depending on natural conditions is not easy to resolve. Thus, a stable energy supply/ storage system, such as Li-ion batteries, is required for grid-scale energy-storage applications and for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices.…”
