Nuclear power plays a significant role in fulfilling the energy needs of Pakistan and its share in the total energy mix has increased from 4.7% to 8.8% in the past seven years. As per the Pakistan energy outlook report (2021–2030), this share i...

Herein, two commercially available spiral-wound nanofiltration (NF) and reverse-osmosis (RO) membrane elements were tested for aqueous ammonium nitrate salt separation. The effect of feed concentration and salt rejection as a function of transmembran...

All inorganic perovskite colloidal nano crystals are an emerging class of optoelectronic materials. However, their colloidal and structural stability during isolation and washing are major hurdles for their commercial application. Their intrinsic che...

The 6th Conference on Emerging Materials and Processes (CEMP 2023) was held on 22–23 November 2023, at the School of Chemical and Materials Engineering (SCME), National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan “ht...

Energy is the primary concern of the modern era and the requirement of energy is being increased day by day; energy resources are not sufficiently available for sustainable development. It is crucial to generate affordable and pollution-free sources...

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have the potential to generate electricity under sunlight at a low cost. In this study, the influence of active layer thickness, defect density, temperature and the presence of reflective coating is studied for the structur...

Due to growing industrialization and population increase, water scarcity is becoming a major global concern. Desalination is often regarded as a potential solution to the worldwide water crisis; however, due to rising prices and energy usage, desalin...

Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through carbon capture and conversion to fuel and other useful products is a focus of recent research. Among all fuels, CO2 to methanol stands out for its efficiency and promise. To make the CO2-to-methanol (CT...

This study investigates the flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet using a Darcy-Forchheimer (DF) model. We employ numerical analysis with a copper (Cu) nanofluid suspended in water, considering Cattaneo–Chris...

Photosensitizers have been used for years to treat or diagnose several oncological diseases. In this research, we evaluate Rhodamine (Rh-640 perchlorate), a second-generation photosensitizer’s mediated preliminary photodynamic effects. To inves...
