PHOTONIC CRYSTAL SOLAR CELLTech for Transfer TTO 17-12-2015 This invention presents a photovoltaic cell contained within a photonic crystal structure. It incorporates both photovoltaic and photonic structures into a single unit. The photonic crystal guides and concentrates sunlight into a photonic optical cavity, which is composed of photovoltaic material comprising a semiconductor heterojunction for forming a photovoltaic current. The solar cell is self-focusing in that it utilizes the known property of photonic crystals to propagate light in any direction, provided that the light is within a transmissible band. This property is exploited here to also make the device more efficient by concentrating incoming light into the photovoltaic region. Photovoltaics Photonic Crystals Tell me more |

OPTICAL FIBER 3D SOLAR CELLSTech for Transfer TTO 19-12-2015 In this invention, a dye-sensitized solar cell for harvesting solar energy is integrated with a piezoelectric nanogenerator for harvesting ultrasonic wave energy. The two energy harvesting approaches can work simultaneously or individually and can be integrated in parallel or in series for increasing the output current, voltage or power, respectively. The solar cell employs an optical fiber and semiconductor nanowires grown around the fiber. The fiber can transmit light, while the nanowires increase the surface area of light exposure. Light propagates through the fiber until it enters a nanowire where it reaches a photovoltaic element. Light in the fiber cannot escape until it interacts with a photovoltaic element, thereby increasing solar conversion efficiency. Fiber Optics Photovoltaics Tell me more |
