Solar cell technology is a prominent clean energy resource. Particularly, organic solar cells, part of the third generation of solar cells, are getting attention as a core technology for metropolitan solar ray energy generation as they can be printed and related to exterior wall surfaces or glass windows of buildings.

Zinc-air batteries, which generate electricity with a chemical reaction in between oxygen in the atmosphere as well as zinc, are considered to be next-generation prospects to meet the explosive demand for electric vehicles as opposed to lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers in South Korea integrated 2 processes to engrave a nanostructure of little pyramids onto the surface of a silicon wafer. Along with trapping much more light and also enhancing the cell effectiveness, the team declares that its nanostructure improves the mechanical flexibility of the cells. This can potentially enable making use of much thinner silicon wafers than is currently feasible in manufacturing.

Scientists in South Korea have used the process to raise performance and also the replicability of large-area organic cells. The technique was utilized during film formation to speed up solvent evaporation.

Scientists in Korea have efficiently established a high-efficiency large-area organic solution processable solar cell by controlling the speed at which the option of basic materials for solar cells ended up being strengthened after being covered.

Researchers in South Korea have actually dealt with graphene and also carbon nanotubes to establish a functioning lithium-ion battery that can be extended by approximately 50% without damages to any one of the elements. According to the researchers, the battery stands for a substantial action in the advancement of body-implantable or wearable digital gadgets.

A Korean research study group has actually created a high-performance ceramic gas cell that can operate butane gas. Because butane can be liquified as well as therefore can be kept and also brought conveniently, the brand-new innovation is anticipated to broaden the application variety of ceramic gas cells to mobile as well as mobile applications such as electrical automobiles, drones as well as robotics. Formerly, ceramic gas cells had actually just been thought about for application to large-capacity power generation systems because of their high-temperature procedure.
