Nowadays, a large role in perfumery is played by low alcohol and non-alcoholic perfumes.

In low-alcohol spirits, the highest alcohol content reaches 40 °, that is, up to a degree of vodka, and the lowest is up to 10 °. For these strains, you need to be very careful in choosing odorants and follow the dissolution table exactly (see below), otherwise many of them, with this low alcohol content, will again stand out from the mixture. It is best to use oils that are free of terpenes and sequiterpenes. Recently, essential oil manufacturers have put on sale such oils, free from terpenes and sequiterpenes, which do not give turbidity in weak alcohol.

It is these oils that must be used for the production of low-alcohol and non-alcoholic perfumes, as they have:

higher concentration than conventional essential oils;
purity of smell due to; removal of terpene from the essential oil, which interferes with aroma;
greater shelf life, since terpenes, which are rapidly oxidized by atmospheric oxygen, are removed;
solubility in weak alcohol or vodka and finally;
the resulting cheapness.

Oils free from terpenes and sequiterpenes can be dissolved in ordinary vodka, but it is better to proceed as follows: first, the essential oil is dissolved in 95% alcohol and a sufficient amount of distilled water is gradually added to this solution, with frequent shaking, diluting to 20°. If you want to make cheap low-alcohol perfumes, then prepare a 1% solution of essential oil in 70% alcohol or a 10% solution in 80% alcohol and dilute it with water, in some cases up to 10°. In the manufacture of low-alcohol perfumes face difficulties in filtering, but they can be easily eliminated. First of all, you need to ensure that as many odorous substances and essential oils are put into the mixture as can actually be dissolved in diluted alcohol of one or another fortress.

If you take more of them, then after mixing, an excess amount of odorous substances will be released again and remain on the filter during filtration, which should definitely be avoided. However, the excess of odorous substances can be easily determined: after mixing with water and accurately determining the strength of alcohol, small fatty particles or a pearly coating of a larger or smaller size appear on the surface of the milky-turbid mixture, which mostly float to the walls of the vessel, where they accumulate. In cases where such fatty particles are noticeable, we advise you to add more alcohol or, with a new portion, take less odorous substances for fragrance. Below are some recipes for low-alcohol perfumes. First, odorous substances such as vanillin, coumarin, heliotropin, artificial musk, etc. are dissolved in the prescribed amount in 95% alcohol, then the essential oils of st. After repeated shaking and complete dissolution, add distilled water in small portions, with constant shaking.

When compiling other toilet waters, it must be borne in mind that the addition of substances such as borax, ammonia, etc. to 20% of the liquid. causes turbidity and precipitate. In such cases, you need to use a stronger alcohol.

Basis non-alcoholic spirits (Sinalco) serves water. Non-alcoholic perfumes are prepared either by boiling strong-smelling plants in water, or by introducing odorous substances into distilled water. In the latter case, the water must be unconditionally distilled so that it does not spoil. In the preparation of non-alcoholic perfumes from plants, the leaves and roots are cut very finely or even powdered. The crushed herbs are then placed in a closed vessel and boiled in a small amount of water. They can also be distilled with water; we recommend this method, although it is a little more expensive. Therefore, for more expensive varieties of non-alcoholic perfumes, they take water distilled along with rose flowers or orange blossom.

A little salicylic acid is usually added to the water to prevent spoilage. But often non-alcoholic perfumes are prepared in such a way that odorous substances are simply added to distilled water and shaken well. First, you should make a test and establish how much odorous substances dissolve in water and how much remain undissolved. This amount, as can be seen from the solubility table, is not very large, but it is quite sufficient. Odorous substances, especially essential oils, can also be first carefully ground in a porcelain mortar with magnesium carbonate and then this mixture added to water, then shaken thoroughly, then the mixture is filtered. Here again, oils st, i.e., free from terpenes, can be recommended, because relatively good alcohol-free perfumes can be made with them.

Paints for coloring must, of course, be soluble in water.

Efficient solar cells made from multiple hemispheres 25.02.2024

Solar panels typically have a flat structure to maximize the absorption of sunlight, working best when the rays hit them at a certain angle. New research claims that creating tiny domes on the surface of solar cells can improve their efficiency by 36% and 66%, depending on the polarization of the light. In this case, the light will be captured at a wider angle - up to 82 degrees.

The presented development has significant potential for the development of more efficient solar cells that can overcome traditional limitations and find application in various fields where a reliable source of energy is required.

Scientists have previously experimented with different surface shapes, including incorporating spherical silica nanoshells to capture more sunlight and extract more energy from it. For the new study, a team from Abdullah Gul University in Turkey conducted complex simulations of how dome-shaped protrusions improve the efficiency of solar cells.

Scientists investigated photovoltaic cells made from the organic polymer P3HT:ICBA as an active layer located above an aluminum layer and a plexiglass substrate. The whole thing was coated with a transparent protective layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). This sandwich structure was stored across the entire dome, or "hemispherical shell" as the developers call it.

The researchers conducted 3D finite element analysis (FEA), breaking down complex systems into manageable chunks for better modeling and analysis.

Solar cells with bumps showed 36% and 66% improved light absorption compared to flat surfaces, depending on the polarization of the light. The projections allow light to enter from a wider range of directions and at a greater angle - up to 82 degrees.

Although physical prototypes of such solar cells have not yet been created, the simulations carried out are a significant step towards the development of more efficient solar technologies. If these principles are successfully implemented, they could have applications not only in rooftop solar panels, but also in a variety of applications, including wearable electronics, biomedical devices, greenhouses and the Internet of Things.
