“…Fadaam et al [ 41 ] demonstrated enhanced conversion for MnS through annealing at 300 °C with a band-gap energy of 2.9 eV. Cao et al [ 42 ] reported on the heterojunction structure of NiS2/MnS with 6.44 % and 4.81% for MnS FTO as a potential counter electrode to replace Pt as a low-cost and highly efficient material for dye-sensitized solar cells. Based on electrochemical, structural and optical analyses, the γ-MnS phase was investigated as an anode material and as efficient visible light emitters with improved cycling stability for Li-ion batteries [ 43 , 44 , 45 ].…”

The necessity to develop renewable energy resources that are highly durable and flexible with superior energy density and capacitance ability has attracted considerable interest in the field of solar cell research. Semiconducting compound materials that are easily available, hazard-free and cost-effective are emerging as potential solutions to tackle this challenge. Herein, we present multiple molecular precursors used to grow manganese sulfide nanoparticles through a proficient one-step heat-up approach. For all of the tested samples, the X-ray diffraction peaks correspond to a γ-MnS hexagonal wurtzite structure. UV-Vis spectroscopy yielded absorption wavelengths of 359–420 nm and band-gap energies of 3.78–4.0 eV. Photoluminescence analysis shows characteristics of red and blue shift from 451–602 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) reveal a narrow size distribution with nanosticks and large contact areas, which are critical for improved catalytic performance. The current study provides an improved pathway to a well-grown and uniform nanocrystal structure for applications in energy devices.

Clean sustainable energy and proper utilization of the available natural resources are of paramount importance for the modern societies. In this work, green composite materials were designed, fabricated and utilized as back sheets for the solar photovoltaic panels to investigate their effects on the output voltage of the solar cell unit. Such replacement of the back sheet of the solar cells would improve their efficiency while reducing the cost and enhancing better environmental conservations. Green back sheet composites were designed with 25 wt% and 50 wt% of high-density polyethylene with all Rhus typhina, Punica granatum and Piper nigrum powders. Investigations of the effect of green composite back sheet materials on solar panel output voltage harvesting have been carried out in Jordan at Zarqa city (latitude 32.07°, longitude 36.08°). Results have revealed that R. typhina and P. nigrum based composites with 25 wt% fiber loading have demonstrated much better output voltage comparable to the original back sheet cell. The maximum output voltage was found to be enhanced about 58 % with the green composite back sheets. This in order would improve the efficiency of such solar cell units and enhance better environmental indices.
