Photodoping in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells With MXenes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrafast tandem spectroscopy and DFT modeling reveal the separate dynamics and the imbalance of electrons and holes in wide bandgap perovskite solar cells with MXene incorporation. The enhanced photoconversion performances of the devices are traced to photodoping, with selective hole trapping and suppressed recombination of electrons.

Soltrec – Pressurized Volumetric Solar Air Receiver Technology

Energy Procedia, 2015
AbstractDuring the EU FP7-Solugas project the feasibility of the solar hybrid technology with a pressurized air receiver and a gas turbine was demonstrated. Over the last years the coupling of solar heat to air-Brayton cycles has been identified as a way to accelerate the CSP market penetration competing directly with conventional combined cycle plants.
