Processing factors affecting roughness, optical and mechanical properties of nanocellulose films for optoelectronics
This work aims to understand how nanocellulose (NC) processing can modify the key characteristics of NC films to align with the main requirements for high-performance optoelectronics. The performance of these devices relies heavily on the light transmittan ...
Elsevier Sci Ltd2024Encapsulation strategies for mechanical impact and damp heat reliability improvement of lightweight photovoltaic modules towards vehicle-integrated applications
Lightweight modules are essential for next-generation vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) applications, such as solar-powered cars, allowing integration of solar cells beyond the roof, and on the hood, boot and body panels, and thereby extending the dri ...
Elsevier2024Assessing the Charge Carrier Dynamics at Hybrid Interfaces of Organic Photoanodes for Solar Fuels
Kevin Sivula, Yongpeng Liu, Han-Hee Cho, Alexander Wieczorek
Organic semiconductors (OSCs) have emerged as promising active layers for photoanodes to drive photoelectrochemical (PEC) oxidation reactions. Interfacing an OSC with an inorganic electron transport layer (ETL) is key to enabling both high performance and ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Modeling, design and economics of PEC devices
Photo-electrochemical (PEC) devices allow for converting solar energy into chemical energy and for the production of energetically dense solar fuels. Light absorption, charge separation and transport, electrochemical reactions, and ionic transport are requ ...
EPFL2024Stress tolerance of lightweight glass-free PV modules for vehicle integration
Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes, Jacques Levrat, Gianluca Cattaneo, Fahradin Mujovi, Umang Bhupatrai Desai, Matthieu Despeisse
Electric vehicles (EVs) currently dominate the sales in the automotive market. A big leap in this market can be made by developing a photovoltaic product that can be integrated to an EV, as it can boost the driving range of the EV while reducing the chargi ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Dissecting the photoacidity of spiropyran/merocyanine molecular switches in water.
Photochemistry is a discipline that studies the interaction between light and matter with the scope to induce chemical transformations. The first conjugation between light and chemistry can be dated back to the lifespan of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, who is c ...
EPFL2023On the possibility of extending the service life of winter roads using renewable energy sources
It is hard to overestimate the role of winter roads in the land logistics of the northern regions. In recent years, climate change has not only significantly reduced the service life of winter roads, but also made them less predictable. This forces transpo ...
2023Routing and charging game in ride-hailing service with electric vehicles
This paper studies the routing and charging behaviors of electric vehicles in a competitive ride-hailing market. When the vehicles are idle, they can choose whether to continue cruising to search for passengers, or move a charging station to recharge. The ...
New York2023X-Ray Observation of Venus with the INTEGRAL Telescope
X-Ray observation of Venus using JEMX instrument on INTEGRAL telescope in the 18.04.22 to 24.04.22 window. Abstract: On April 22 and 24, 2022, Venus was observed with the JEM-X detector of the INTEGRAL space telescope. The observation performed yielded a d ...
2023Resource aware pricing for electric vehicle charging
Electric vehicle charging facilities offer their capacity constrained electric charge and parking to users for a fee. As electric vehicle adoption grows, so too does the potential for excessive resource utilization. In this paper, we study how prices set b ...
