Does roof shape matter? Solar photovoltaic (PV) integration on building roofs
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Bérénice Guiboud
This paper focuses on roof-shape classification and solar potential for integrating photovoltaics (PV) on roofs. A machine-learning approach, Support Vector Machine (SVM), is used to classify the roof shapes in the city of Geneva. The impact of various roo ...
2016Integrated Photo-Electrochemical Solar Fuel Generators Under Concentrated Irradiation- Part II: Thermal Management a Crucial Design Consideration
Sophia Haussener, Saurabh Yuvraj Tembhurne
Concentrating solar irradiation for use in integrated photo-electrochemical devices potentially provides an economically competitive pathway for hydrogen generation, even with partial use of rare material components. Heat transfer and thermal management ar ...
Electrochemical Soc Inc2016Solar-to-Hydrogen Production at 14.2% Efficiency with Silicon Photovoltaics and Earth-Abundant Electrocatalysts
Christophe Ballif, Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Antonin Faes, Jan-Willem Alexander Schüttauf, Matthieu Despeisse, Julien Claude Bailat, Miguel Antonio Modestino, Enrico Chinello, Antonio Delfino, David Lambelet
Affordable, stable and earth-abundant photo-electrochemical materials are indispensable for the large-scale implementation of sunlight-driven hydrogen production. Here we present an intrinsically stable and scalable solar water splitting device that is ful ...
Electrochemical Society2016Polymer-based photocathodes with a solution-processable cuprous iodide anode layer and a polyethyleneimine protective coating
Matthew Thomas Mayer, Marcel Roland Schreier
Organic semiconductors have been proven to be suitable for efficient photovoltaic generation during the last decade but have been scarcely assessed as photoelectrochemical devices. In this work we present the fabrication and characterization of a new effic ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2016Reliable Averages and Risky Extremes
Michael Lehning, Annelen Kahl, Viet Anh Nguyen, Karine Maria Sarrasin
With the perspective of Switzerland’s phase-out from nuclear energy, solar energy potential may take a leading role for the country’s future in renewable energy. Unlike nuclear power stations, photovoltaic (PV) production is prone to intermittency as it de ...
2016The influence of the Level of Detail (LOD) on the assessment of the photovoltaic (PV) potential in urban environments
Stéphane Bonjour, Jérémie Stoeckli
In the 3D-modelling universe, the Level of Detail has a crucial role, as it is the case to assess the PV potential in urban environments using this kind of models. According to the CityGML standards, there are five levels of detail, going from the footprin ...
2016Cu2O Nanowire Photocathodes for Efficient and Durable Solar Water Splitting
Michael Graetzel, Jingshan Luo, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Marcel Roland Schreier, Ludmilla Steier, Minkyu Son
Due to its abundance, scalability, and nontoxicity, Cu2O has attracted extensive attention toward solar energy conversion, and it is the best performing metal oxide material. Until now, the high efficiency devices are all planar in structure, and their pho ...
American Chemical Society2016Toward Large-Area Solar Energy Conversion with Semiconducting 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
The recently discovered unique optoelectronic properties and chemical robustness of mono- or few-layer two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, and WSe2 have opened new possibilities for solar en ...
Amer Chemical Soc2016Synthesis of mesoporous functional hematite nanofibrous photoanodes by electrospinning
Iron(III) oxide (hematite, Fe2O3) nanofibers, as visible light-induced photoanode for water oxidation reaction of a water splitting process, were fabricated through electrospinning method followed by calcination treatment. The prepared samples were charact ...
