Abstract
Biodegradable solid-state devices are gradually gaining momentum in a bid to reduce pollution from electronic waste. In this study, bio-filter was synthesized using Ixora plant extracts that were doped with copper nitrate. The synthesized bio-filter is a polycrystalline dichroic filter, which can be used to reduce the infrared radiation on photovoltaic modules. The unconventional characterization techniques (i.e., voltage peak analysis (PKA) and absorption analysis (AA)) were adopted to understand the chemical structure and active bonds in the bio-filter. The material is highly crystalline with eight significant peaks whose intensities are greater than 2137 Wm −2 . It was discovered that the active bonds in the bio-filter are Cu–O, Cu–N, C–H, C-N, N–H and CH-N. This layer creates absorption levels that form the reflective cavities that resonate with the desired wavelengths. The absorption levels of the bio-filter 0.0135, 0.0155, 0.0175 and 0.0195.
