  2. 1. Combined Electrical Power Generation using Solar and Wind

    Author : Ingemar Mathiasson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave length bands; atmospheric transmittance; energy storage; Wind turbine; wind speed; quantum dots; electrical load.; extinction coefficient; silicon solar cell; solar cell;

    Abstract : The need for systems for renewable electrical power production is enormous worldwide.This applies to systems of varying size and capacity. From small systems for household purposes up to large systems for regional purposes. If possible, all systems should be linked in a common power grid. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantum Dot Solar Cells: Towards Environmentally Friendly Materials

    Author : Viktor A. Öberg; Erik Johansson; Muhammet S. Toprak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum dots; Nano-crystals; Energy conversion; Solar cells; Quantum dot solar cells; Low toxicity; Silver Sulfide; Silver Bismuth Sulfide; Lead Sulfide; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : To decrease the world’s energy dependence on fossil fuels, energy production and specifically electricity production needs to shift to more sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is solar cells as they directly convert energy emitted from the sun into electricity. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ultrafast Photoinduced Processes in Core and Core–Shell Quantum Dots for Solar Cell Applications “Tiny Crystals for Big Applications”

    Author : Mohamed Qenawy; Kemisk fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum dots; core–shell; electron injection; hole injection; hole trapping; exciton migration; solar cells; ultrafast dynamics; time-resolved spectroscopy.;

    Abstract : The balance between our demands of energy and the energy we are consuming is not in equilibrium anymore. Therefore, the search for other energy resources is indispensable. Sustainable energy sources offer the alternative to the fossil fuels. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Study of II-VI Semiconductor Nanocrystals Sensitized Solar Cells

    Author : Chunze Yuan; Ying Fu; Lars Kloo; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum dots; quantum rods; nanocrytals; solar cells; colloidal; type-II; electron injection; organic electrolyte.;

    Abstract : Semiconductor nanocrystals, also referred to as quantum dots (QDs), have been the focus of great scientific and technological efforts in solar cells, as a result of their advantages of low-cost, photostability, high molar extinction coefficients and size-dependent optical properties. Due to the multi-electron generation effect, the theoretically maximum efficiency of quantum dots-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) is as high as 44%, which is much higher than that of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs).
