Energy storage system for solar cells by using graphene quantum dot battery

Abstract

This project aims to investigate and develop an energy storage system utilizing solar energy sources through the integration of solar cell technology and Graphene Quantum Dot Battery, representing a novel approach to enhancing energy storage efficiency and prolonging the lifespan of renewable energy systems. The selection of graphene and quantum dots as materials for battery development is attributed to their exceptional properties, including high electrical conductivity, charge storage capacity, efficient energy transfer, and enhanced stability.

Objective

การใช้พลังงานทดแทนจากแหล่งพลังงานแสงอาทิตย์ได้รับความสนใจเนื่องจากเป็นพลังงานสะอาดและยั่งยืน แต่การเก็บพลังงานที่ผลิตได้ในระหว่างวันยังคงมีข้อจำกัดในการใช้งานในช่วงกลางคืนหรือเมื่อพลังงานผลิตต่ำ การพัฒนาระบบกักเก็บพลังงานที่มีประสิทธิภาพสูงจึงมีความสำคัญเพื่อให้การใช้พลังงานแสงอาทิตย์เป็นไปอย่างยั่งยืนและมีประสิทธิภาพสูงสุด แบตเตอรี่กราฟีนควันตัมดอทมีคุณสมบัติเด่นในการเก็บพลังงานและการถ่ายโอนพลังงานอย่างรวดเร็ว โดยสามารถเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพและยืดอายุการใช้งานของแบตเตอรี่ได้ จึงเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีในการพัฒนาระบบกักเก็บพลังงานจากแสงอาทิตย์

Co-encapsulation Techniques for Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 Impacts on Stability and Efficacy: Antioxidant activity, and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion

This study aims to investigate the co-encapsulation technique of vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 within liposomes to enhance their stability and encapsulation efficiency and evaluate their antioxidant activity and release behavior under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Liposomes were prepared using the High-Speed Homogenization Method, and their characteristics, including particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and antioxidant activity, were analyzed using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. The results demonstrated that co-encapsulation significantly improved the stability of vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 compared to single encapsulation. The liposomes exhibited high encapsulation efficiency and maintained strong antioxidant activity. The release profile under simulated gastrointestinal conditions also indicated a sustained and controlled release. These findings highlight the potential of the co-encapsulation technique in enhancing the efficacy of functional bioactive compounds, making it applicable to the food and nutraceutical industries.

Ginbanirose

The Ginbanirose project aims to develop herbal extracts for alleviating menstrual pain using key ingredients: roselle, banana inflorescence, and ginger. These ingredients contain bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties. The extracts are enhanced through liposome encapsulation technology, which improves absorption and stability. The production process involves herbal extraction, freeze-drying, and liposome formulation using lecithin and stabilizers. Experimental results demonstrate high phenolic content and antioxidant activity via the DPPH method. Ginbanirose addresses women’s quality of life concerns while offering significant business opportunities in the rapidly growing herbal market, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

New chili varieties resistant to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl diseases and high pungency

The research aims to develop chili Thai commercial varieties for resistance to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl virus disease. The varieties allowing farmer to reduce the use of chemical pesticides for disease and pest control, also increases productivity and lowers production costs for farmers. The development new varieties are under studied of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students by using conventional and molecular plant breeding. The new chili varieties were released to farmer and commercial companies for development for Thai commercial seed industry.
