Sustainability assessment of single-atom catalysts in the transition to greener chemical processes by Mark A. Bajada, Maxim Tschulkow, Gianvito Vilé

“…In particular, among the broad spectum of transition metal catalysts, we demonstrate that catalysts made from earth-abundant materials, such as nickel, outperform those based on rare and expensive metals like palladium or iridium, enabling more sustainable and cost-effective chemical production. …”

Numerical simulation of an HTL-free carbon-based perovskite solar cell with graphitic carbon nitride doped zinc oxide as electron transport layers by Joseph Kariuki, Nicholas Rono, Chinedu Christian Ahia, Eric Kibagendi Osoro, Edson L. Meyer

“…The optimal density defect of the absorber was maintained at 1.0×1012 cm−3, while the donor doping density of the ETL was achieved at 1.5×1022 cm−3 doping level. Utilization of palladium as the back contact led to achievement of a higher efficiency. …”
