In this work, we systematically investigated the influence of solvent viscosity on the synthesis, structural properties, and optoelectronic behavior of TiO2 NPs prepared by PLAL. Two distinct liquid environments were selected: Deionized water, characterized by low viscosity, and glycerol, which operates under high viscosity. We analyzed how fluid viscosity affects the morphology, crystallinity, optical response, and device performance of NP. XRD, TEM, and FE-SEM structural and morphological data demonstrate that water-based synthesis facilitates the formation of smaller, anatase-type TiO2 nanoparticles. In contrast, glycerol significantly enlarges the NP size and promotes the coexistence of anatase and rutile phases, as well as aggregates, due to lower cooling rates. Optical data reveal a blue shift in the absorption edge and a larger band gap, measuring 3.76 eV and 3.54 eV, respectively, for NPs derived from Deionized water and glycerol. The NPs were used to fabricate an Al/TiO2/n-Si heterojunction for photodetection studies, showing better performance for glycerol-based NPs, with responsivity measured at 0.185 A/W at 380 nm, a detectivity of 6.24 × 10 11 Jones in the UV range, and an external quantum efficiency exceeding 60%. Thus, this work highlights the importance of solvent viscosity in tailoring NP features and optimizing TiO2-based optoelectronic devices, contributing valuable insights to the sustainable and controlled production of nanoparticle materials for enhanced photodetection.

This study numerically investigates the combined heat transfer and fluid flow behavior in a double-pipe heat exchanger enhanced with spring-shaped turbulators and Al₂O₃ nanofluids. Four configurations are analyzed: circular turbulators (Case A), elliptical turbulators (Case B), circular turbulators with nanofluids (Case C), and elliptical turbulators with nanofluids (Case D), all compared against a smooth-pipe baseline. A validated 3D CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model implementing the realizable k-ε turbulence model (y+ ≈ 1) and second-order discretization evaluates key parameters, Nusselt number, friction factor, and thermal performance across Reynolds numbers (3,000 ≤ Re ≤ 20,000). Results demonstrate that elliptical turbulators (Case B) outperform circular designs by 12–45% in heat transfer enhancement, with peak improvements (48.7%) at Re = 3,000, attributed to stronger secondary flows. Nanofluid addition further augments performance, particularly in laminar-transitional regimes, with Case D achieving the highest thermal efficiency. However, enhancements diminish at higher Re (>13,100) as natural turbulence dominates. Pressure drops, penalties increase by up to 211.46 Pa (Case D at Re = 20,000), highlighting a critical trade-off between heat transfer and hydraulic losses. 3D thermal contours reveal that elliptical turbulators create

In the present work, tin dioxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) were synthesized using the laser ablation technique and employed in constructing high-performance photodetectors. SnO2 NPs were prepared using Nd:YAG laser pulses 1064 nm ablated on Sn target immersed in deionized water, and the effect of different laser pulse energies such as 300 mJ, 500 mJ, and 700 mJ on the properties of SnO2 NPs was investigated. Optical, structural, and electrical characterizations were performed using UV–VIS spectroscopy, XRD, and TEM. The results have shown that SnO2 NPs ablated at the highest energy produce a good photodetector due to their optimal size, phase, and band gap (Eg). The nanoparticles had a tetragonal rutile phase as confirmed by XRD; the band gap energy gap also increased with low laser energy due to quantum confinement where the energy gap was 4.42 eV, 3.92 eV, and 3.81 eV for 300 mJ, 500 mJ, and 700 mJ, respectively. The photocurrent determined the optoelectronic properties under white light, and the devices belonging to 700 mJ SnO NPs obtained the highest photocurrent density. The spectral responsivity analysis showed that SnO2/n-Si photodetectors exhibit three response bands at ~ 363 nm, ~ 660 nm, and ~ 806 nm, regarding the highest responsivity of 0.19 A/W, 0.25 A/W, and 0.37 A/W, respectively. The results demonstrate that laser ablations are a good green and eco-friendly method for SnO2 NP synthesis suitable for future sustainable energy applications, including renewable energy sources and optical sensing that preserve the environment. This work may suggest that SnO2 NPs may be applied in self-powered photodetectors and efficient solar energy systems to produce green nanomaterials for future energy applications.
