Future Status

Solar energy has become one of the most important sources of renewable energy. This is evident in the fact that many organizations and individuals have resorted to renewable energy, without fear of depletion, without fear of the monthly costs of using fuel-based electricity.The study examined the mechanism of using solar energy and the mechanism of solar cells in converting sunlight into electricity in general, and thus allocating research in solar energy conversion technologies to electrical energy, and some systems of assessing of these technologies, in order to know the future status of the technology of converting solar energy, as well as to know the costs that these technologies must reach in order to be a candidate for bulk power.

Two Oxide Semiconductors, Namely, Bismuth Vanadate (BiVO4) and Silver Bismuth Tungstate (AgBiW2O8) Were Prepared by Solution Combustion Synthesis and their Attributes as Photocatalysts Were Comparatively Evaluated. A Key Conclusion of this Study Is that the Optical Characteristics Alone Provide only a Partial Glimpse into the Applicability of a Given Semiconductor for Solar Energy Conversion and Environmental Remediation. Thus while the Optical Bandgap of Bivo4 Is Lower than Agbiw2o8 (and Thus Is Able to Harness a Greater Portion of the Solar Spectrum), its Photocatalytic Activity for the Degradation of a Dye Is Inferior. this Finding Underlines the Fact that other Characteristics of the Semiconductor (band-Edge Alignment, Surface Quality Etc) Also Play as Critical a Role as the Optical Properties.
