Role of Supplementary Cementitious Materials in Enhancing Strength and Workability of Green Concrete
Abstract: This collective review of ten seminal papers on green concrete highlights the growing emphasis on sustainable construction practices through the use of recycled materials, industrial by-products, and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The studies consistently demonstrate that green concrete can significantly reduce carbon emissions, enhance durability, and maintain structural integrity comparable to conventional mixes. Experimental investigations confirm the viability of incorporating fly ash, silica fume, slag, quarry dust, and recycled concrete …

Dye Sensitized Solar Cells Based on Extracted Natural Dyes and Synthetic Dyes with Nanocomposite Material
Abstract: Producing dye sensitised solar cells in their original colours required a number of different techniques. Plants and berries were used to extract these dyes. The DSSCs were manufactured by recycling the old dyes. It was clear that the efficiency of the power conversion was deteriorating. TiO2 mesoporous films' potential applications were also studied. This study employed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to examine the interactions of natural dyes with TiO2. Bi2O3 nanoparticles …
