Meso-Substituted Porphyrins for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Among the several approaches for harnessing solar energy and converting it into electricity, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) represent one of the most promising methods for future large-scale power production from renewable energy sources. In these cells ...

Solar thermal harvesting for enhanced photocatalytic reactions

Demetri Psaltis, Jae-Woo Choi, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi

The Shockley-Queisser limit predicts a maximum efficiency of 30% for single junction photovoltaic (PV) cells. The rest of the solar energy is lost as heat and due to phenomena such as reflection and transmission through the PV and charge carrier recombinat ...

Silicone as a Multifunctional Material: Ultrafast Tuneable Lenses and Energy Harvesting Based on Silicone Membranes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Luc Maffli, Michele Ghilardi

In recent years, the development of soft and stretchable electronics and sensors has seen the wide use of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a convenient soft substrate on which such circuits are fabricated. When coupled with compliant electrodes, silicone mem ...

Cyclopentadithiophene-functionalized Ru(II)-bipyridine sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Aravind Kumar Chandiran

Two ruthenium sensitizers TT-230 and TT-232 based on cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene (CDT) were tested in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using,a tri-iodide/iodide redox couple, and their performances compared to the benchmark Z907. Both dyes of gen ...

Urban Morphology and Energy Consumption: Simplified Tools for the Estimation of Energy Needs and Solar Income at the Urban and District level

François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Gilles Desthieux

Urban form matters in assessing the energy consumption of buildings. This chapter introduces three useful tools to assess the environmental impact of the urban form and to define possible energy scenarios. These outcomes can be used to inform the redevelop ...

Metamaterial buffer for broadband non-resonant impedance matching of obliquely incident acoustic waves

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Broadband impedance matching and zero reflection of acoustic waves at a planar interface between two natural materials is a rare phenomenon, unlike its optical counterpart, frequently observed for polarized light incident at the Brewster angle. In this art ...

On The Optimization And Performances Of A Compact Piezoelectric Impact Mems Energy Harvester

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Pattanaphong Janphuang, Robert Andrew Lockhart

This paper presents the development of a compact energy harvesting configuration to convert low frequency, mechanical oscillations into usable electrical energy using AFM-like MEMS piezoelectric cantilevers coupled to a rotating gear. In this approach, one ...
