A parabolic trough solar collector acting as a desorber (vapor separator) has been recently suggested (Lecuona-Neumann, Rosner, & Ventas-Garzón, 2016) and (Famiglietti et al. 2018). The desorber significantly reduced the complexity and cost of a solar driven absorption heat pump. However, it introduced an innovative flow layout, which is a two-phase, boiling, gravity driven and stratified counter flow. The comprehension of its capabilities is necessary in order to unveil its potential. In the current work, a simplified assumption of the complex flow is suggested and implemented in finite difference and thermodynamic simulations of a single-effect absorption cycle acting as an air cooled chiller using NH3/LiNO3 as the working fluid. The performance of the cycle has been investigated for satisfying the cooling demand of a representative living apartment in the Mediterranean climate. The results of the simulations are compared with experimental data.

The recent sky-rocketing performance of perovskite solar cells has triggered a strong interest in further upgrading the fabrication techniques to meet the scalability requirements of the photovoltaic industry. The integration of vapor deposition into the solution process in a sequential fashion can boost the uniformity and reproducibility of the perovskite solar cells. In addition, mixed-halide perovskites have exhibited outstanding crystallinity and higher stability compared with iodide-only perovskite. An...

Trevino, Jacob; Forestiere, Carlo; Dİ MARTİNO, Giuliana; Yerci, Selçuk; Priolo, Francesco; Dal Negro, Luca (2012-05-07)
We report on the design, fabrication and measurement of ultrathin film Silicon On Insulator (SOI) Schottky photo-detector cells with nanostructured plasmonic arrays, demonstrating broadband enhanced photocurrent generation using aperiodic golden angle spiral geometry. Both golden angle spiral and periodic arrays of various center-to-center particle spacing were investigated to optimize the photocurrent enhancement. The primary photocurrent enhancement region is designed for the spectral range 600nm-950nm, w...
Improvement of multiband absorption with different technics (graphene, ito, and hole) for metamaterial absorber at optical frequencies
Mulla, Batuhan; Sabah, Cumali (2018-10-01)
Three absorption improvement techniques are numerically applied to a multiband metamaterial absorber design for solar energy harvesting. These techniques are the following: the reshaping of the back metallic plate, the integrating of graphene sheets, and the utilizing of indium tin oxide (ITO), in the design. Based on numerical simulation results, each of these methods has the capacity to enhance total absorption rates. In addition to the enhancement in the total absorption rates, new absorption peaks are a...
Adsorption of RuSex (x=1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene: First principle calculations
AKTÜRK, OLCAY ÜZENGİ; Tomak, Mehmet (2015-08-30)
We have investigated the adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene. The change of the adsorption energy with the number of Se atoms and magnetization values are investigated. Electronic properties of adsorption of RuSex (x =1-5) cluster on Se-doped graphene are investigated. The highest adsorption energy belongs to RuSe adsorbate. The biggest magnetization value belongs to RuSe2 adsorbate. This adsorbate makes the substrate half metallic. This property is important in electronic device appli...

The fabrication of flexible organic photovoltaics (OPVs) which utilize transparent and conducting single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films as current collecting electrodes on plastic substrates in zinc oxide nanowire (ZnO NW)/poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices is reported. The bulk heterojunctions for exciton dissociation are created by directly growing ZnO nanowires from solution on the SWNT electrodes and spin coating the P3HT polymer. A maximum OPV power convers...
