Article Abstract
This work reports the capability of depth profile analysis of thin CuIn1-xGa(x)Se2 (CIGS) absorber layer (1.89 μm) with a sub-hundred nanometer resolution by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The LIBS analysis was carried out with a commercial CIGS solar cell on flexible substrate by using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (λ = 532 nm, τ = 5 ns, top-hat profile) and an intensified charge-coupled device spectrometer in atmospheric conditions. The measured LIBS elemental profiles across the CIGS layer agreed closely to those measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The resolution of depth profile analysis was about 88 nm. Owing to the short measurement time of LIBS and the capability of in-air measurement, it is expected that LIBS can be applied for in situ analysis of elemental composition and their distribution across the film thickness during development and manufacturing of CIGS solar cells.

Variability in radiation-related health risk and genetic susceptibility to radiation effects within a population is a key issue for radiation protection. Besides differences in the health and biological effects of the same radiation dose, individual variability may also affect dose distribution and its consequences for the same exposure. As exposure to radon progeny affects a large population and has a well-established dose-effect relationship, investigating individual variability upon radon exposure may be particularly important.

Aluminum-doped copper indium gallium selenide/sulfide (CIGAS) is a favorable absorber material for solar cell applications; however, the number of reports on CIGAS solar cells currently remains limited. In this study, we therefore employed SCAPS-1D software for the theoretical modeling of CIGAS thin film solar cells and investigated the effect of material properties and device configurations on solar cell photovoltaic (PV) parameters. Initially, key parameters such as thickness and charge carrier concentrations of each layer used in CIGAS PV devices were studied and optimized to obtain suitable conditions for high device performance.

In this study, Fe-Ni-layered double hydroxide modified crayfish shell biochar substrate (Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC) was successfully prepared and introduced into constructed wetland (CW) to research the Cr(VI) removal mechanism through substrate adsorption and microbial action. Adsorption experiments demonstrated the equilibrium adsorption capacities of Fe-Ni-LDH@CSBC for Cr(VI) could reach 1058.48 (C=10 mg/L) and 1394.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses significant challenges in conventional antibiotic treatments for chronic wound infections, highlighting an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. To address this issue, we developed a multifunctional electrospun nanofiber dressing co-loaded with anthocyanin (ATH) and asiaticoside (AS) that possesses antimicrobial activity. The tri-layer dressing contains three functional components: a hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile-anthocyanin (PAN-ATH) layer for pH monitoring, a hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) layer for exudate management, and a water-soluble pullulan-Bletilla striata polysaccharide-asiaticoside (PUL-BSP-AS) layer.
