  Machine Learning Framework for Optimizing Polymer–Metal Oxide Composites as Charge Selective Layers in Perovskite Solar Cells

  By Himanshu Rai, Prabakaran Maruthamuthu Paramasivam, S. Sivakumar, P. Senthilkumar

  Abstract: To achieve high-performance and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), it was important to incorporate innovative interfacial materials to tune the balanced charge extraction, low recombination, and enhanced operational lifespan. On this note, polymer composites with metal oxides have been proposed as promising candidates as charge selective layers (CSLs), whereby they present a rare combination of tunable energy levels, improved film forming abilities, and better interface engineering capabilities. In this …

  Electrospun Antibacterial Polymer Composite Scaffolds Incorporating Silver Nanoparticles for Enhanced Wound Healing

  By Kumaresan. T, Subhashini. S, M. Chrispin Das, P. Senthilkumar, Chandra Sekhar K, P. Janagarathinam, Sumanth S, Denis R

  Abstract: The present study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan nanofiber scaffolds incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to enhance antibacterial activity and biological performance. Uniform nanofibers with controlled morphology were fabricated using electrospinning, and different AgNP concentrations were introduced to investigate their influence on fiber structure, antimicrobial response, and cellular interactions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that increasing AgNP content resulted in well-distributed fibers with reduced diameters, …
