“…252,253 Despite the efficiencies obtained are still lower compared to the reference Ru-based dyes, thanks to their low cost and ready availability, these pigments are nowadays very much considered by those research groups who are focused on the development of the so-called biophotovoltaic devices. 181,254,255 In Section 8, the very recent work of Su and Lai on natural pigments coupled with alternative redox mediators has been mentioned, 178 but the very first demonstration of the good compatibility between pigments and water was provided by Rabani and coworkers. 256 In 2001, they exploited the promising prospects as a sensitizer of the seed coats of the pomegranate (PG) fruit, which is a rich source of anthocyanins.…”

Nowadays, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are the most extensively investigated systems for the conversion of solar energy into electricity, particularly for implementation in devices where low cost and good performance are required. Nevertheless, a key aspect is still to be addressed, being considered strongly harmful for a long time, which is the presence of water in the cell, either in the electrolyte or at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Here comes the present review, in the course of which we try our best to address the highly topical role of water in DSSCs, trying to figure out if it is a poisoner or the keyword to success, by means of a thoroughly detailed analysis of all the established phenomena in an aqueous environment. Actually, in the last few years the scientific community has suddenly turned its efforts in the direction of using water as a solvent, as demonstrated by the amount of research articles being published in the literature. Indeed, by means of DSSCs fabricated with water-based electrolytes, reduced costs, non-flammability, reduced volatility and improved environmental compatibility could be easily achieved. As a result, an increasing number of novel electrodes, dyes and electrolyte components are continuously proposed, being highly challenging from the materials science viewpoint and with the golden thread of producing truly water-based DSSCs. If the initial purpose of DSSCs was the construction of an artificial photosynthetic system able to convert solar light into electricity, the use of water as the key component may represent a great step forward towards their widespread diffusion in the market.

“…Water pollution 1,2 is one of the unstoppable environmental pollutions in the world when the population and industries are nearly uncontrollable growing. Many scientists put their efforts 3 into finding out the renewable materials or recyclable energy systems [4][5][6] for solving the problems of environmental pollution 7 and the high energy consumption. 8,9 Since pure water and electric power are the products of fuel cells, 10 water splitting cells have been designed to provide hydrogen and oxygen gases by splitting waste water, 9,11,12 which is seen as the best solution for solving the problems of water pollutions and replacing the fossil energy.…”

High-performance spintronic water-splitting devices with high applied power, spintronic population under room temperature have been demonstrated by the Ce 2 O 3 small polaron surface state-based spintronic injection system. Spintronic entanglement tomography decrypts the information about ultrahigh-energy conversion efficiency as high as 140% and the optimal applied voltage 0.682 V.Ce +3 ions demonstrate unpaired d orbital for achieving spin-orbital coupling by accepting the quantum information of angular momentum, spin, and orbital from incident laser light which modulated by ħ + ħ (""), ħ + (− ħ) (#"), ħ -(−ħ) ("#) and (−ħ) + (−ħ) (##) angular momentum. A practical way is been provided for achieving the spintronic entanglement in water splitting devices by describing the correlations between spintronic that interact and then separate. Thus, the quantum computing algorithm is encrypted and well decrypted by spin-orbital coupling. Besides, in this research, we demonstrated an ultrahigh energy conversion water splitting cells with spintronic injection and spintronic entanglement. Comparing with theory power for water splitting, the spintronic entanglement water splitting devices in our research saved 30% power to achieve water splitting and hydrogen generation.

“…However, ZrO2 NPs is a known ptype semiconductor with piezoelectric characteristics due to its acidic and basic nature. Therefore, ZrO2 NPs have been widely used in myriad applications ( Figure 1), including bone implants [32], dental [33], photocatalysis, refractory, energy [26], fuel cell [34], gas sensor [35], solar cells [36], and seed germination [37]. Therewithal ZrO2 NPs have antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer properties because of their unusual physiochemical properties [37][38][39].…”

Development of reliable and environmentally gracious routes for the fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles is a crucial step in nano-biotechnology. Among the all zirconia nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) draws more attention due to its significant biocompatible, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties. Many natural biomolecules in plant extracts such as alkaloids, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, polysaccharides, polyphenols, steroid, and vitamins could be involved in bioreduction, formation, and stabilization of ZrO2 NPs. In the last decade, numerous efforts were made to develop ecofriendly methods of synthesis to avoid the hazardous byproducts. In this review, green synthesis of ZrO2 NPs, their characterization techniques, and miscellaneous applications were discussed.
