Imec, a Leuven, Belgium-based nanoelectronics research center is collaborating with a subsidiary of Strategic Initiative Materials in Flanders to design innovative semiconductor materials for solar cells. As part of this partnership, innovative materials are screened as a choice for the normal solar cells made of copper indium gallium and selenium (CIGS).
GMZ Energy, a company specializing in nanotechnology-based thermoelectric materials, has declared that it has received $14 million through the Series C funding headed by Mitsui Ventures. BP Alternative Energy, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Energy Technology Ventures and I2BF Global Ventures were the other investors.
The Photovoltaic and Optoelectronic Devices Group at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Spain has developed dye-sensitized solar cells. These cells are also called as dye solar cells (DSC).
Scientists have been trying to achieve artificial photosynthesis for the generation of solar hydrogen. The process of photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide to convert solar energy into storable fuel. Researchers have been endeavoring to imitate and implement this process for photo-electrochemical cells (PEC) and similar energy device applications.
CellEra, which develops low-cost, platinum-free membrane fuel cells, has declared a funding round worth $9.2 million headed by Vodafone Group’s capital arm, Voadfone Ventures, and Carmel Ventures, a top-tier venture capital firm based in Israel.
Ecology Coatings has declared that it has synthesized bio-based generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ultraviolet (UV)-curable materials for producing coatings that can be used in food-contact applications and food packaging.
Avantium and Coca-Cola have signed a deal to jointly develop Avantium’s patented YXY technology for manufacturing 100% biobased PEF bottles.
Three new advanced resin grades from Cereplast have received the DIN CERTCO certifications of compostability. The Compostable 3002, Compostable 3010, and Compostable 3020 resin grades have improved properties and are designed for applications on blown film extruder lines during compostable bag manufacture.
Bayer MaterialScience LLC has developed a new polyurethane-based composite technology in response to the wind power industry’s desire for stronger, longer wind blades.
Reportlinker.com has added Visiongain's new market research report titled ‘The Biodegradable Plastic Packaging Market 2011-2021’ to its list of offering.
