2. 1. Exploring Electron Transfer Dynamics of Novel Dye Sensitized Photocathodes : Towards Solar Cells and Solar Fuels

   Author : Lei Zhang; Leif Hammarström; Yiying Wu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electron transfer; Laser spectroscopy; Femtosecond spectroscopy; Transient absorption; NiO; DSSCs; DSSFDs; Charge separation; Solar energy conversion; Nanosecond photolysis; Photophysics; Kemi med inriktning mot kemisk fysik; Chemistry with specialization in Chemical Physics;

   Abstract : The design of dyes for NiO-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has drawn attention owing to their potential applications in photocatalysis and because they are indispensable for the development of tandem dye-sensitized solar cells. The understanding of the electron transfer mechanisms and dynamics is beneficial to guide further dye design and further improve the performance of photocathode in solar cells and solar fuel devices.

4. 2. XDSC : Excitonic Dye Solar Cells

   Author : Eva Unger; Gerrit Boschloo; Tom J. Savenije; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hybrid solar cells; energy transfer; dye-sensitized solar cells; TiO2; small-molecular semiconductor; hole-transporting dye; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Abstract : Solar energy is the foremost power source of our planet. Driving photosynthesis on our planet for 3 billion years the energy stored in the form of fossil fuels also originates from the sun. Consumption of fossil fuels to generate energy is accompanied with CO2 emission which affects the earth's climate in a serious manner. READ MORE

5. 3. On Generation and Recombination in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Thin-Film Solar Cells

   Author : Jonas Malmström; Lars Stolt; Uwe Rau; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; solar energy conversion; solar cells; Cu In; Ga Se2; device modelling; optical properties; electron-hole generation; light trapping; electron-hole recombination; Elektronik; Electronics; Elektronik;

   Abstract : The solar cell technology based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-films provides a promising route to cost competitive solar electricity. The standard device structure is ZnO:Al/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo films on a glass substrate, where the first three layers are n-type semiconductors with wide bandgaps, forming a pn-junction with the p-type CIGS absorber layer; the Mo layer serves as a back contact.

   Author : Wei Zhang; Lars Kloo; Neil Robertson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; perovskite solar cell; photovoltaic device; lead-free light absorbers; hole-transport materials; coordination complexes; p-type dopants; organic salts; surface passivation.; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Energy plays a significant role in our daily lives, but most energy provided by fossil fuels causes serious environmental problems including air pollution, global warming, and ecological damage. In addition, it has been estimated that all of our fossil fuels will run out in 2088 and thus it is highly important to study and apply renewable energy sources. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
