Improvement in dye sensitized solar cells from past to present Mohiuddin, Obaidullah; Obaidullah, Madina; Sabah, Cumali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01) Several emerging renewable technologies are available to satisfy the current energy demand and to minimize the effect of environmental degradation caused by high consumption of fossil fuels. These technologies are not mature enough to solve this problem but require more time for improving the efficiency, and cost reduction to become the economical alternative of fossil fuels. In this paper Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been discussed in detail owing to advancement in the technology. Since each compon...
First-principles design of efficient solar cells using two-dimensional arrays of core-shell and layered SiGe nanowires Pekoz, R.; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Raty, J. -Y. (American Physical Society (APS), 2011-01-20) Research for third generation solar cell technology has been driven by the need to overcome the efficiency and cost problems encountered by current crystalline Si- and thin-film-based solar cells. Using first-principles methods, Ge/Si and Si/Ge core/shell and Si-Ge layered nanowires are shown to possess the required qualities for an efficient use in photovoltaic applications. We investigate the details of their band structure, effective mass, absorption property, and charge-carrier localization. The strong ...
A Homopolar HTSG Topology for Large Direct-Drive Wind Turbines Keysan, Ozan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-10-01) For offshore wind energy, there is a trend toward larger wind turbines. The increased mass of a power-takeoff system increases the installation cost of the turbine. Direct-drive superconducting generators have the potential to reduce the installation cost of wind turbines. For a successful entry to the off-shore-wind-energy market, a high-temperature superconducting generator should be as reliable as conventional generators. It is proposed that a stationary superconducting direct-current-field winding may i...
Low temperature crystallization of amorphous silicon by gold nanoparticle Karaman, M.; AYDIN, MURAT; Sedani, S. H.; ERTÜRK, KADİR; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) Single crystalline Si thin film fabricated on glass substrate by a process called Solid Phase Crystallization (SPC) is highly desirable for the development of high efficiency and low cost thin film solar cells. However, the use of ordinary soda lime glass requires process temperatures higher than 600 degrees C. Crystallization of Si film at around this temperature takes place in extremely long time exceeding 20 h in most cases. In order to reduce this long process time, new crystallization techniques such a...
Improving the absorption of solar cells using antenna-inspired cavities Karaosmanoğlu, Barışcan; Tuygar, Emre; Topçuoğlu, Ulaş; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Wiley, 2019-08-01) We present new types of nanocavities to improve the absorption of solar cells for energy harvesting in wide frequency ranges of the optical spectrum. Using a full‐wave approach, as opposed to the commonly used ray‐based modeling of the light, antenna‐inspired cavities with horn shapes are proposed and introduced. The effectiveness of the designed cavities is demonstrated in comparison to the conventional textures involving inverted pyramids and nanocones. Highly accurate numerical results show that solar‐ce...
