Silicon, the material of high-tech devices from computer chips to solar cells, requires a surface coating before use in these applications. The coating “passivates” the material, tying up loose atomic bonds to prevent oxidation that would ruin its electrical properties. But this passivation process consumes a lot of heat and energy, making it costly and limiting the kinds of materials that can be added to the devices.
Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology show that a recently discovered class of materials can be used to create a new kind of solar cell.
The Coalition for American Solar Manufacturers (CASM) today announced appeals in recent trade cases to counter illegal Chinese trade practices. A key appeal, according to CASM, challenges a loophole in the scope of the U.S. trade remedies that allows Chinese producers to evade duties and continue to benefit from illegal, export-intensive subsidies and dump product into the U.S. market.
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology produce new photoactive micelles with potential applications in photofunctional dyes and sensors.
