Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…In addition, two spray methods (dynamic and static mode) were also investigated based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and current-voltage characteristics to find the best method to synthesize CNZTS. The highest efficiency achieved was around 5.45% for pure Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) device using static mode, meanwhile the nickel-substituted samples behave like a metal instead of semiconductor when the Ni is substituted. …”

Unravelling gene regulation in the epidermis during differentiation by Anisa Banu Abdul Rahim

“…The rate-limiting enzyme adenosyl methionine decarboxylase (AMD1) promotes the synthesis of Spd and Spm from Put and changes in AMD1 levels directly influence the ratio and levels of all three polyamines. We find that AMD1 is highly enriched in the suprabasal layers of the human epidermis and is translationally upregulated during in vitro differentiation of immortalized and human primary keratinocytes. …”
