Spin-Coated Kesterite Based CZTS (Cu₂ZnSnS₄) Thin Films: Structural, Optical, and Compositional Analysis for Photovoltaic Applications

In this work, spin-coated Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) thin films with systematically varied thicknesses were investigated to understand their influence on structural, compositional, and optical properties relevant to high-performance photovoltaic applications. CZTS absorber layers were fabricated using a sol-gel spin-coating technique, which offers simplicity, low cost, and excellent thickness control, followed by annealing at 450°C under a nitrogen atmosphere to promote crystallization and phase formation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that films with a thickness of approximately 608…

Attempting Doping Activation via Rapid Thermal Annealing in As-Doped Polycrystalline CdSeTe Solar Cells

Doping the absorber layer is a critical process for enhancing the performance of polycrystalline CdSeTe solar cells. Replacing traditional Cu doping with Group V dopants offers a pathway to fabricate devices with improved efficiency and stability. However, the dopant activation rate in polycrystalline structures remains low, typically only a few percent. While rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has been successfully employed to achieve high activation rates in single-crystal CdTe devices, its application to polycrystalline CdSeTe solar

Green Synthesis and Characterization of ZnS and ZnS@Ag₂S Core–Shell Nanoparticles Using Mint Leaf Extract

In this study, zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS NPs) and zinc sulfide @ Silver sulfide core-shells (ZnS@Ag₂S NPs) were prepared using the green method with mint leaf extract as a reducing and coating agent, at varying concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) (0.005, 0.01, and 0.02 M). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) results showed the formation of a cubic phase of ZnS NPs and a monoclinic phase of Ag₂S with increasing silver nitrate concentration. The average crystalline size of ZnS…

Corrosion and Wear Resistance of Electro-Deposited Zn–Ni/ZnS Nanocomposite Coatings on Mild Steel for Mechanical Applications

A sulfate–chloride electrolyte was used to deposit alloy layers on AISI 1018 coupons while co-introducing ZnS nanoparticles (5–20 g/L) to tune microstructure and durability under combined saline exposure and dry sliding. Cross-sectional SEM confirmed continuous deposits of ~24–26 μm, and XRD indicated γ-phase dominance with pronounced grain refinement: crystallite size decreased from 42 ± 3 nm (particle-free) to 28 ± 2 nm at 15 g/L. In 3.5 wt% NaCl, polarization data showed a progressive ennoblement…

High-Efficiency Double-Heterojunction Based Dual-Absorber Perovskite Solar Cell via Numerical Optimization

In this study, a novel double-heterojunction perovskite solar cell (DHPSC) with the following structure: FTO/ZnO/CH₃NH₃PbI_3−xCl_x/CH₃NH₃SnI₃/p⁺⁺ZnTe/Au was designed. It was optimized using the wxAMPS simulation software. A systematic parametric analysis was performed to investigate the influence of electron transport layer (ETL) ZnO and hole transport layer (HTL) thicknesses on photovoltaic performance. That includes short-circuit current density (J_sc), open-circuit voltage (V_oc), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (η). The results indicate that once a minimum ZnO thickness is achieved,…

Domain Knowledge-Guided Training for NIDS: A Class-Agnostic Evaluation of Robustness on Imbalanced Datasets

The rapid expansion of IoT and cloud services has increased the scale and complexity of modern networks, making intrusion detection challenging. Although deep learning-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) often report high accuracy, such metrics can be misleading on highly imbalanced datasets, where performance is dominated by majority classes and rare attacks remain poorly detected. This issue stems from global optimization strategies that encourage models to rely on dominant feature patterns, limiting their ability to…
