At the current time, the world as we know it is at a crossroads; there is an urgent need to lower greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global rise in temperature. However, this is at odds with the increasing energy demands of the world's growing populatio ...
The developed world is built on the fact that energy is readily available and functionally infinite. The electricity from the wall, the gas at the station, and the heat in our homes are reliable and low-cost. But this comfort is so far only possible throug ...
The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradat ...
Phenothiazine is a versatile scaffold frequently used in both pharmaceutical and photovoltaic applications. Still, the structural diversity within the class of phenothiazine sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells is minute. Substituents are found in 3, ...
Failures in the metallic interconnections are among the main degradation modes for photovoltaic modules. Fatigue accumulation due to thermomechanical stresses can result in deterioration of the solder joints or in broken ribbons. In this paper, we first qu ...
