Thin-Film Photovoltaic - Features, Applications and Development of TFPV by NanoMarkets The overall TFPV market has rocketed upward. Driven in part by a shortage of silicon, and in part by the rise of building-integrated photovoltaics, thin film photovoltaics now account for about 23 percent of the market. NanoMarkets expects the thin film share to exceed 50 percent by 2015. Read Article

Solar Energy - An Overview on the Development and Expansion of the Solar Energy Industry by NanoMarkets Solar power has come a long way since its origins as a niche technology for satellites, finding its way into a wide range of large and small power generation applications. This range of applications is what makes photovoltaics unique among alternative energy technologies, most of which can only succeed by incorporating themselves into the existing power infrastructure.

Organic Photovoltaic - Applications and Development of OPV Materials for Portable Electronics by NanoMarkets Organic photovoltaics are relatively cheap to fabricate using inexpensive, well-understood coating processes on large, flexible substrates such as plastic. The flexible product is light, easy to install and the nature of the photoactive materials allows them to perform well in variable light Read Article

Indium Tin Oxide - Materials, Applications and Development of ITO in Touch Screen Technology by NanoMarkets Transparent conductors combine the electrical conductivity of metal with the optical transparency of glass. They are the ideal material for touch screens. The dominant transparent conductor is indium tin oxide (ITO), which is found in nearly every touch screen on the market today. Read Article

Electronic Coloring - The Future of Color for Electronic Paper by NanoMarkets The term "electronic paper" covers displays that use reflective rather than emissive technology to create images. With reflected light better sources usually mean clearer images for the viewer. E-paper doesn't have to feed backlights, it uses much less power than other display types. Read Article

Photovoltaics (PV) - Materials, Applications and Development of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics by NanoMarkets Advances in technology, a greater awareness of "green" issues, and increasing government support are helping to drive growth for photovoltaics (PV) built directly into building materials of commercial and residential buildings.

Silver Nanoparticles - Materials, Applications and Market Opportunities of Ag Nanoparticles by NanoMarkets NanoMarkets predicts that by 2015, 184.5 million ounces of silver will be used by the electronics industry. Nano-sized silver and other conductive inks can be ink-jetted, saving both material costs and production runs. Read Article

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) - Material, Properties, Applications and Market Opportunities of Zinc Oxide by NanoMarkets Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is emerging as a material of interest for a variety of electronic applications. It can be used in a large number of areas, and unlike many of the materials with which it competes, ZnO is inexpensive, relatively abundant, chemically stable, easy to prepare and non-toxic. Most of the doping materials that are used with ZnO are also readily available. Read Article

Hybrid OLEDs - Features and Applications of Hybrid Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Display Technology by NanoMarkets For OLED displays to be competitive with established display technologies like LCD or PDP, they need to be comparable in price to these technologies, at least in the mid-term future. This will require that OLED production be optimized such that it is simple and scalable to enable competitive pricing of the finished product. Read Article

Fuels Rev Up Catalyst Demand - Global Market and Opportunities for Catalysts in the Refining and Petrochemical Industries by NanoMarkets The analyzing and quantifying of opportunities for catalysts used in refining and petrochemicals production, couldn't come at a more relevant time.
