Aluminum matrix composites are widely utilized in many sectors, and their popularity is rising due to their ability to combine high mechanical characteristics with their lightweight. Stir casting is typically achieved in a closed crucible with an invisible flow pattern to produce aluminum alloy matrix composites. Researchers employed a hybrid method to optimize the stir casting parameters. The vast number of parameters and their overlap affects the uniform distribution of reinforcement particles. Investigators on their way to the best technique have gotten promising outcomes in their specific situations, but they still need more work to be able to generalize their findings to optimize the stirrer design to get efficient mixing. Due to an experimental technique alone is insufficient for optimizing stir casting parameters, researchers combined theoretical, experimental, statistical, and numerical simulation approaches to get more precise and reliable findings. The design of the experiment (DOE), particularly Taguchi, and other standard statistics such as ANOVA and regression were discovered to be the most often utilized statistical contributions. Recent attempts to simulate stir casting have begun to match the experimental or analog model data by developed numerical software and analytical analysis. Finally, previous study results and suggestions were collected and compared, arranged, revised, and presented simply about the proper stirrer design, stages, and position in that to make the paper unique.

Recent advances in the development of organic solar cells (OSCs) have produced power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 19%. Various studies have been conducted on scalable coating methods that are compatible with largearea production of organic photovoltaic modules. However, it is still difficult to control the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) morphology of the active layer during large-scale fabrication of OSCs. This study reports a morphology-controllable strategy in OSCs using water treatment (WT) in the stirring process of the active solution, thus resulting in vortex agitation. The effects of WT and water injection volume are investigated based on three reference cells for the optimization of small-and large-area devices, and the physicochemical and optical properties of the films are compared with those without WT. The thin films with WT exhibit a smoother morphology than those without WT, indicating well-dispersed donor-acceptor phases. Therefore, enhanced efficiencies of the films are achieved via WT. Furthermore, large-area solar cell modules with a total effective area of 10 cm 2 are fabricated, and they exhibit superior PCEs as high as 11.92% (H-NF-DIW10), indicating that the WT method is a simple and effective strategy to fabricate large-area organic photovoltaic modules.
