From first generation biofuels to advanced solar biofuels
Roadmaps towards sustainable bioeconomy, including the production of biofuels, in many EU countries mostly rely on biomass use. However, although biomass is renewable, the efficiency of biomass production is too low to be able to fully replace the fossil fuels. The use of land for fuel production also introduces ethical problems in increasing the food price. Harvesting solar energy by the photo...
متن کاملHarnessing plant biomass for biofuels and biomaterials.
Modern societies have relied for more than a century on fossil carbon sources for the production of fuels or chemicals ranging from plastic polymers to drugs to food additives. The consequences of this utilization of fossil carbon-derived fuels – the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – are no longer deniable. There is general agreement among leading scientists that the increased con...
متن کاملPlasmonic polymer tandem solar cell.
We demonstrated plasmonic effects in an inverted tandem polymer solar cell configuration by blending Au nanoparticles (NPs) into the interconnecting layer (ICL) that connects two subcells. Experimental results showed this plasmonic enhanced ICL improves both the top and bottom subcells' efficiency simultaneously by enhancing optical absorption. The presence of Au NPs did not cause electrical ch...
متن کاملDesign of a GaInP/GaAs tandem solar cell for maximum daily, monthly, and yearly energy output
Solar concentrator cells are typically designed for maximum efficiency under the AM1.5d standard spectrum. While this methodology does allow for a direct comparison of cells produced by various laboratories, it does not guarantee maximum daily, monthly, or yearly energy production, as the relative distribution of spectral energy changes throughout the day and year. It has been suggested that ac...
متن کاملHarnessing Africa's untapped solar energy potential for health.
Dr Sam Wamani’s sister-in-law bled to death in his arms, a victim of obstetric complications. “It happened 10 years ago,” says the 33-year-old resident of Leba, in western Uganda. “My brother came to my door at 1 am. I had just graduated from medical school in Kampala, and he thought I could help. I said we had to get her to the health unit.” She could not walk, so they wheeled her on a bicycle...
