Flexible, biodegradable and recyclable solar cells: a review
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Solar energy is conceivably the largest source of renewable energy at our disposal, but vital advances are expected to make solar cells economically viable. Biodegradable and flexible solar cells are currently under extensive ...
Thermochemical copper Oxide - Copper sulfate water splitting cycle for solar hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the solar thermochemical copper oxide - copper sulfate (CO-CS) water splitting cycle is thermodynamically investigated. CO-CS cycle consists of two steps: first step - exothermic oxidation of CuO via water ...
Sustained solar fuel production in multiple thermochemical cycles using sol-gel derived ferrite nanopowders
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the sol-gel synthesis of Mg-doped Niferrite i.e. Ni-Mg-ferrite was attempted by using propylene oxide (PO) as a proton scvanger. Effects of two important synthesis paramaters such as amount of PO added during ...
Performance enhancement of self-cleaning hydrophobic nanocoated photovoltaic panels in a dusty environment
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
The efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panels drops significantly in dusty environments. The variation in temperature could have a substantial impact on PV panel cells, which could further lead to high deterioration and ...
A cascaded boost inverter-based open-end winding three-phase induction motor drive for photovoltaic-powered pumping applications
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
Although PWM inverter-fed drives are now a well-established technology in industrial applications, the generation of common mode voltage associated with these modulation techniques results in undesired bearing current and ...
High-performance adaptive Perturb and observe MPPT technique for photovoltaic-based microgrids
(
IEEE
, 2011 , Article)
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has witnessed double-digit growth in the past decade. The penetration of PV systems as distributed generators in low-voltage grids has also seen significant attention. In addition, the need ...
Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Computational thermodynamic analysis of solar fuel production via metal oxide based H2O and CO2 splitting thermochemical cycles
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In this paper thermodynamic feasibility of the production of solar fuel via SnO2/SnO based thermochemical CO2 splitting redox reactions was investigated. The first step is the thermal dissociation of SnO2 into SnO where ...
Thermochemical conversion of H2O and CO2 into solar fuels via metal oxide based redox reaction
(
AIChE
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of the production of solar syngas (a mixture of H2 and CO with molar ratio equal to 2: 1) via ZnO/Zn based thermochemical H2O and/or CO2 splitting redox reactions. Solar syngas ...
Thermochemical splitting of CO2 using solution combustion synthesized LaMO3 (where, M = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Al, Cr, Sr)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The effort of this paper was to recognize the inclusion of appropriate dopants that will upgrade the redox reactivity of La-based perovskites. By maintaining the fuel (glycine) to metal nitrate ratio () = 1, the LaMO3 ...
