This article compares the properties of bacterial cellulose/fish collagen composites (BC/Col) after enzymatic and chemical cross-linking. In our methodology, two transglutaminases are used for enzymatic cross-linking—one recommended for the meat and the other proposed for the fish industry—and pre-oxidated BC (oxBC) is used for chemical cross-linking. The structure of the obtained composites is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and their functional properties by mechanical and water barrier tests. While polymer chains in uncross-linked BC/Col are intertwined by H-bonds, new covalent bonds in enzymatically cross-linked ones are formed—resulting in increased thermal stability and crystallinity of the material. The C2–C3 bonds cleavage in D-glucose units, due to BC oxidation, cause secondary alcohol groups to vanish in favor of the carbonyl groups’ formation, thus reducing the number of H-bonded OHs. Thermal stability and crystallinity of oxBC/Col remain lower than those of BC/Col. The BC/Col formation did not affect tensile strength and water vapor permeability of BC, but enzymatic cross-linking with TGGS improved them significantly.

Abstract Solar energy is found to be low cost and abundant of all available energy resources and needs exploration of highly efficient devices for global energy requirements. We have investigated methyl ammonium tin halide (CH3NH3SnI3)-based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for optimized device performance using solar capacitance simulator SCAPS-1D software. This study is a step forward towards availability of stable and non-toxic solar cells. We explored all necessary parameters such as metal work functions, thickness of absorber and buffer layers, charge carrier’s mobility and defect density for improved device performance. Calculations revealed that for the best efficiency of device the maximum thickness of the perovskite absorber layer must be 4.2 μm. Furthermore, optimized thickness values of (ZnO=0.01 μm) as electron transport layer (ETL), GaAs as hole transport layer (HTL=3.02 μm) and (CdS=10 nm) and buffer layer have provided power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 23.53%. Variation of open circuit voltage (Voc), Short circuit current (Jsc), Fill Factor (FF%) and quantum efficiency against thickness of all layers in FTO/ZnO/CdS/CH3NH3SnI3/GaAs/Au compositions have been critically explored and reported. Interface defects and defect density in different inserted layers have also been reported in this study as they can play a crucial for the device performance. Insertion of ZnO layer and CdS buffer layers have shown improved device performance and PCE. Current investigations may prove to be useful for designing and fabrication of climate friendly, non-toxic and highly efficient solar cells.
