Industrialization and transportation cause enormous emissions of several toxics and hazardous gases like NO2, NH3, Acetone, LPG, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and many others from various industries such as power generation plants, automotive, aerospace, glass, ceramic, petrochemical, food processing etc. These gases spread rapidly over the large area within a short time and are dangerous to human health can cause severe respiratory diseases, lung infection, and causes even death. Therefore, it is important to detect the concentration of these toxic gases in the atmosphere and take safety precautions. Sensor is a device which provides a usable output in response to a specified measure. Sensors are found in many devices such as automobiles, airplanes, cellular telephones, radios, chemical plants, industrial plants and countless other applications.

The twenty-first century is experiencing an immense fatigue of energy with an advancement of the global economy. The world’s hunger for energy with maintaining the same living standards, the conventional energy sources does not hold the ability to meet the world’s energy requirements. Thus, it is of immense inevitability to generate and store energy. The elegant energy storage devices such as batteries, conventional capacitors, and supercapacitors have fascinated great attention of worldwide researchers to decode the global energy dilemma. Among various energy storage systems, the electrochemical capacitors (EC’s), also known as supercapacitors is fabulous leading one consideration. It is generally observed that supercapacitors show higher specific power than batteries. However, their specific energy is generally lower than that of batteries. Supercapacitors have attracted great attention due to eco-friendly, being lightweight, long lifespan, high efficiency, short charging time, etc.

The heavy industrialization and continuously growing population lead to the tremendous environmental pollution. Organic impurities such as dyes, alcohols and acids are discharged into potable water sources and consequently causing water pollution. Therefore, one of the primary challenges to sustain modern society is to acquire adequate water resources of a required quality for various elected uses. It is well known that some of the dyes are carcinogenic. Therefore, after propagation within the aquatic environment they can cause critical damage to aquatic life by increasing chemical oxygen demand, and as well toxicity. Therefore, the removal of these dyes from wastewater before discharging to the environment is necessary. Nowadays various wastewater treatment methods have been explored. however, among them, advanced oxidation processes (AOP’s) have been demonstrated to be effective for the degradation of organic pollutants. Semiconductor heterogeneous photocatalysis comes under AOPs and has enormous potential to mineralization of organic pollutants in the wastewater by means of a photocatalytic (redox) reaction.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are electrically conductive materials with a comparably low absorption of light. They are usually prepared with thin film technologies and used in opto-electrical devices such as solar cells, displays, opto-electrical interfaces and circuitries. Spray pyrolysis is bound to produce non-stoichiometric oxide thin films and can create high quality large area uniform thin films. This ability makes them highly suitable for production of transparent conductive oxide thin films with cost effective and simple chemical technique.

Nowadays, we are facing energy crises and global warming seriously. The stock of non-renewable energy sources is going to end in some days, the solution of this is to use the renewable energy sources which are freely available, clean, most promising energy sources. Among all, solar energy has large capacity to fulfil the whole world energy needs, one-hour solar energy is sufficient to fulfil all the population energy demand for one year. The TFNML perceives great research in the field of Solar Cells. Most of the research was done on photo-electrochemical solar cells (PEC), electrochemical photovoltaic cell (EPCV), dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC), quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSC), etc. At the beginning of the research on solar cell, it was centred on the materials like TiO2, ZnO, Cu2O, Cu2SnS3, Cu2ZnCd (S, Se)3, CZTS, CCTS, etc. These materials have been synthesized by methods like chemical bath deposition, hydrothermal, spray pyrolysis, electrodeposition, SILAR, sol-gel, etc.

Water splitting is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down into oxygen and hydrogen: 2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2 Efficient and economical water splitting would be a technological breakthrough that could underpin a hydrogen economy, based on green hydrogen. A version of water splitting occurs in photosynthesis, but hydrogen is not produced. The reverse of water splitting is the basis of the hydrogen fuel cell.

Water resources are essential for life as we know it, in cultivated farmland, sustainability, human consumption, economic development, and environmental systems . Globally, over five billion inhabitants are dependent on groundwater and surface water systems since people use these resources in numerous ways such as potable water, housing, crop production, and manufacturing applications. The degradation of water resources is a much-studied phenomenon and can be caused by natural processes (climate change, water-rock interactions, and geological factors) and human activity (agriculture practices and urban waste), as well as the presence of considerable chemical compounds since the industrial revolution. Despite this, the management of surface water and groundwater as resources remains complicated in many circumstances and relevant information remains unknown. Apart from anthropogenic activities, natural heterogeneities of rock/soil interact with water, influencing natural water cycles and affecting water quality across all domains. Such modifications can have severe repercussions for the functioning of human health and the living organism
