Spiral solar cell with enhanced absorption

SPIRAL SOLAR CELL WITH ENHANCED ABSORPTION

Tech for Transfer

TTO

19-12-2015

This technology provides improved solar cells with an increase in light absorption of up to 90%. It is based on semiconducting two-dimensional materials which exhibit great mechanical flexibility and can be rolled into a stack to make a spiral solar cell. The multi-layered cylinder structure is responsible for enhanced light matter interaction and hence for raising the absorption.

Optical Fiber 3D Solar Cells

OPTICAL FIBER 3D SOLAR CELLS

Tech 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.
