There exists a pressing need to find an alternative source of energy considering the ever increasing demand for energy and depletion of natural resources such as fossil fuels, natural gas, coal, and wood. The need for energy can be met through a sustainable and renewable source of energy. Wind energy can be classified as a form of solar energy. It can be described as the process by which wind is used to generate electricity or mechanical power. Wind turbine, similar to propeller blades of aircraft, rotate with the help of the moving air, and converts the kinetic energy into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for various purposes. For instance, it can be used for household electricity requirements or to power an electric generator.

Perovskite solar cells is the emerging class of thin-film photovoltaic cells. Perovskite solar cell is a type of solar cell that comprises perovskite structured compound. The perovskite structured compound is mostly composed of hybrid organic-inorganic lead or tin halide-based material, as the light-harvesting active layer. These perovskite materials possess intrinsic properties such as broad absorption spectrum, fast charge separation, long transport distance of electrons and holes, and long carrier separation lifetime. These distinct properties possessed by perovskites make them promising material for manufacturing solid-state solar cells. The solar cell efficiencies of devices using these cells have increased significantly over the past decade due to the constant developments. Furthermore, these perovskite solar cells have the ability to absorb light across all visible wavelengths and are easily fabricated. Perovskite solar cells are sued in various applications such as smart glass, outdoor furniture, portable devices, and automotive and other electronic applications. 

Lepidolite is a hard mica mineral composed of lithium, potassium, and aluminum silicates. It is usually violet colored mineral; however, it can be yellow or grey depending upon the quantity of lithium and other trace elements. Lepidolite is an ore of lithium; thus, it is a precursor for lithium production. The mineral has pearly texture, and is significantly used in jewelry due to its vibrant colors and appearance. Lepidolite is also known as a healing crystal; it is believed to reduce stress and bring prosperity. Therefore, demand for this mineral is high. Lepidolite is also employed as heat insulator in the industrial sector. The mineral is largely found in Brazil, the U.S., Russia, and several countries in Africa.

A tire can be made of various materials such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, synthetic textile, carbon black, fillers, stearic acid, zinc oxide, plasticizers, accelerators, and antioxidants. Although the major components of tire are natural rubber and synthetic rubber, various tire chemicals play an important role in tire manufacture. The raw materials used for this manufacture depend upon the type of tire and its intended usage. Tires can be classified into two basic types: on-road tires and off-the-road tires. Apart from the tire type, the composition of tire also depends upon the geographical conditions in which the tire is to be used mostly. Hence, depending upon geographical conditions and the type of tire, chemicals used in tire production vary. Tire chemicals used in formulations modify the properties such as elasticity, traction, rolling resistance, and weight of the tire.
