This study evaluates the impact of the stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) technique for solar radiation management (SRM) on the potential of photovoltaic energy in four climatic regions throughout Nigeria. The photovoltaic energy potential for the SRM scenario ( PVEsrm ) and the reference database ( PVEref ) were evaluated using solar radiation and temperature data from the ARISE-SAI-1.5 model and from the MERRA-2 climate data repository, respectively. Before projecting the impact of the SAI approach on photovoltaic energy generation, the agreement between PVEsrm and PVEref was evaluated using the index of agreement metric. The analysis showed that the index of agreement had values of 0.90 in the Sahel, 0.98 in the Guinea Savannah, 0.97 in the rainforest, and 0.82 in the coastal regions. Other validation metrics used also showed similar trends across the climatic regions in Nigeria. The projected analysis of the impact on photovoltaic energy generation between 2035 and 2069 indicated potential gains of + 5.20 in the Sahel, + 3.60 in the Guinea Savannah, and + 3.40 in the rainforest, but a decline of − 3.20 in the coastal region, all values in watts per square meters. In conclusion, this study reveals that the implementation of the SAI approach for solar radiation management would have a relatively gainful influence on solar power generation in the Sahel, the Guinea Savannah, the rainforest but declined effect in the coastal region. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the influence of solar radiation management and renewable energy generation in different climatic zones across Nigeria.

The discovery of the first infectious variant in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has posed concerns over global health due to the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent variants. While the majority of patients experience flu-like symptoms such as cold and fever, a small percentage, particularly those with compromised immune systems, progress from mild illness to fatality. COVID-19 is caused by a RNA virus known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Our approach involved utilizing immunoinformatic to identify vaccine candidates with multiple epitopes and ligand-binding regions in reported SARS-CoV-2 variants. Through analysis of the spike glycoprotein, we identified dominant epitopes for T-cells and B-cells, resulting in a vaccine construct containing two helper T-cell epitopes, six cytotoxic T-cell epitopes, and four linear B-cell epitopes. Prior to conjugation with adjuvants and linkers, all epitopes were evaluated for antigenicity, toxicity, and allergenicity. Additionally, we assessed the vaccine Toll-Like Receptors complex (2, 3, and 4). The vaccine construct demonstrated antigenicity, non-toxicity, and non-allergenicity, thereby enabling the host to generate antibodies with favorable physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, the 3D structure of the B-cell construct exhibited a ProSA-web z-score plot with a value of -1.71, indicating the reliability of the designed structure. The Ramachandran plot analysis revealed that 99.6% of the amino acid residues in the vaccine subunit were located in the high favored observation region, further establishing its strong candidacy as a vaccination option.

In this research, an innovative Z-scheme vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 )/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) photocatalyst was synthesised using a facile thermal treatment method, and its photodegradation performance and physicochemical properties were evaluated. The heterostructure provided high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and pore volume, which encouraged charge carrier separation and transfer, as well as supplied abundant micro-mesoporous structures and active sites for photocatalytic redox reactions. The successful incorporation of V 2 O 5 between g-C 3 N 4 layers can be proven by proposing the synthesis mechanism, as well as conducting morphology, crystal structure, elemental, and chemical analysis through scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diff raction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. Using these combined photocatalysts, ciprofl oxacin (CIP) was successfully degraded up to 90.17% removal effi ciency in the visible-light spectrum. The superior photocatalytic activity of g-C 3 N 4 composite over V 2 O 5 is primarily due to its increased light absorption capacity, as well as increased surface area, pore size, and volume, eff ective charge transfer, and optimal band alignment between g-C 3 N 4 and V 2 O 5 . This research provides a signifi cant future perspective for the utilisation of Z-scheme V 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalyst for water treatment, especially those involving endocrine-disrupting compounds and antibiotics like CIP.
