Abstract One of the main components worldwide transition to sustainable energy is solar cells, usually referred as photovoltaics. By converting sunlight into power, they lessen their reliance on fossil fuels and release greenhouse gases. Because cells are decentralized, distributed systems may be developed, which increases efficiency cells. Chalcogenide perovskites have drawn interest due potential in conversion since provide distinctive optoelectronic characteristics stability. But high temperatures lengthy reaction periods make it difficult synthesise process them. Therefore, we present inaugural numerical simulation using SCAPS-1D for emerging inorganic BaZrS 3 /CuO heterojunction This study delves behaviour diverse parameters photovoltaic devices, encompassing (η) values, short-circuit current density (J sc ), fill factor (FF), open-circuit voltage (V oc ).

Improper disposal of household and industrial waste into water bodies has transformed them de facto dumping grounds. Plastic debris, weathered on beaches degrades micro-particles releases chemical additives that enter the water. Microplastic contamination is documented globally in both marine freshwater environments, posing a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems. The small size these particles makes susceptible ingestion by low trophic fauna, trend expected escalate. Ingestion leads adverse effects like intestinal blockages, alterations lipid metabolism, histopathological changes intestine, contributing extinction vulnerable species disrupting ecosystem balance. Notably, microplastics (MPs) can act as carriers for pathogens, potentially causing impaired reproductive activity, decreased immunity, cancer various organisms. Studies have identified seven principal sources MPs, including synthetic textiles (35%) tire abrasion (28%), highlighting human contribution this pollution. This review covers aspects microplastic pollution, sources, extraction methods, its profound impact Additionally, it explores preventive measures, aiming guide researchers selecting techniques inspiring further investigation far-reaching impacts fostering effective solutions environmental challenge.
