University of Basrah Researcher Publishes Study in a British Journal
Dr. Hussein Nasser Khalaf Al-Salman, a faculty member at the College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah, has published a research paper titled “Enhancing the Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using FeS–TiO₂ Nanoparticles as a Photoanode” in the British journal Scientific Reports, which is ranked in the first quartile (Q1) of the Scopus index.
The study aimed to improve the efficiency of solar energy conversion in Fe/S–TiO₂ nanocomposites, proposing their use as a potential photoanode material for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
The research involved the synthesis of iron-doped titanium dioxide (Fe/S–TiO₂) integrated with sulfur nanoparticles. The results demonstrated a conversion efficiency of 6.46% for the dye-sensitized solar cells compared to 3.43% for pure titanium dioxide under full sunlight exposure. These findings suggest that the proposed nanocomposite is a promising photoanode candidate for high-efficiency DSSCs.
