Civil engineering department at the university of technology grants MSC to the student Hiba Sami for her thesis "Preparation of Nano – coating for solar cell as prevent the weather contamination". The research aims at preparing a thin layer of nanoparticles for nickel oxide with high photocatalysis properties to be used as a transparent, self-cleaning nanotube for solar cells to prevent the deposition of dust and air pollutants onto solar cells on the street, thereby reducing their efficiency over time.
