Finde da schon einiges spannend:
"In addition to the projects outlined, Dyesol has recently setup its state-of-the art solid state perovskite solar cell development facility for flexible/metal substrates in Manchester, UK, and has recently strengthened its team by recruiting three new PhD qualified specialists to focus on manufacturing processes for perovskite-based solar cells. Here we introduce our talented new recruits."
Aber auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Printed Power ist toll:
Proof-of-concept Initial activity focused on a developing a prototype that included power management, communication system, sensors, a solar collector and battery storage to prove device functionality.
The power management system is a key consideration, as it needs to optimise energy usage and allow a cold start (uncharged battery power-up). The work on this has advanced to the stage where a first stage integrated circuit has been developed to replace many components currently on a printed circuit board. In addition, communications system protocols have been developed to further reduce energy usage.
Work has commenced on the integration of a perovskite solar cell (ssDSC) with a printed battery, this is important to enable performance and size targets to be achieved.
The final solution will include an integrated solar collector, printed battery storage, power management chip, communication chip, and sensors as required, and be no larger than a thick credit card. Already a size reduction of 48 per cent has been achieved compared to the original prototype, with the target size on track.
From concept to product development While Dyesol’s research collaboration with NTU is focused on mid-term research and development activities in the field of solid-state DSC, the commercial relationship with Printed Power is focused on short-term product development.
Much of the know-how developed within Printed Power will be applicable to other Dyesol product development activities, and with the IP developed accessible to Dyesol, this work adds another dimension to Dyesol’s ever expanding IP Portfolio.
