… lected as a target to test the photocatalytic activity of prepared carbon nitride nanosheets under direct solar irradiation. The results showed the structure of the g-C3N4 nanosheets when the sample had been treated for a longer time compared to the regular treatment time. The optical band gap results remained the same …

… ibited a nanocrystalline fluorite structure with a direct band gap of 3.02 eV, enabling efficient visible light driven photocatalytic water splitting. Under natural solar irradiation, the optimized CBO achieved excellent H2 and O2 evolution rates of 776.3 μmol g-1 and 388.2 μmol g-1 respectively. A high hydrogen evolut …

… . The paper presents two case studies of residential architecture in Muscat, Oman. Through simulations of solar insolation as well as daylight studies, it shows how architectural form can respond to two solar phenomena - heat and light – in such a way that insolation on glazed facades is minimized, while illuminance of …
