Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogenase enzymes: Application in biofuel cells and inspiration for the design of noble-metal free catalysts for H2 oxidation
Pascale Chenevier,Laurent Mugherli,Sunita Darbe,Léa Darchy,Sylvain DiManno,Phong D. Tran,Fabrice Valentino,Marina Iannello,Anne Volbeda,Christine Cavazza,Vincent Artero +10 more
TL;DR: A solution may be found in nature with metalloenzymes involved in hydrogen metabolism, called hydrogenases, which can be used directly in biofuel cells or serve as an inspiration to chemists for the elaboration of bio-inspired electrocatalytic materials as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Spectrum-splitting photovoltaics: Holographic spectrum splitting in eight-junction, ultra-high efficiency module
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated holographic optical element is used to split the incoming solar spectrum into four different spectral bands, each diffracted onto the appropriate subcell, and a preliminary design for this holographic spectrum splitter composed of twelve simple, commercially available holograms predicts an achievable 76.1% optical efficiency and 37.9% two-terminal module efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transparent coatings made from spray deposited colloidal suspensions.
TL;DR: It is drawn the counterintuitive conclusion that a nonstable colloidal solution gives a smoother coating than a highly stabilized colloid solution, leading to a more transparent coating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectrally Matched Quantum Dot Photoluminescence in GaAs-Si Tandem Luminescent Solar Concentrators
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the efficiency of a GaAs/Si tandem LSC as a function of luminophore absorption edge and emission wavelength for QD luminophores dispersed in an LSC waveguide with embedded, coplanar GaAs cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Polyhedral Specular Reflector: A Spectrum-Splitting Multijunction Design to Achieve Ultrahigh ( >50%) Solar Module Efficiencies
Carissa N. Eisler,Cristofer A. Flowers,Emily C. Warmann,John V. Lloyd,Pilar Espinet-Gonzalez,Sunita Darbe,Michelle Dee,Matthew D. Escarra,Emily D. Kosten,Weijun Zhou,Harry A. Atwater +10 more
TL;DR: A spectrum-splitting design, the polyhedral specular reflector (PSR), that employs an optical architecture to divide and concentrate incident sunlight, allowing the incorporation of more junctions compared with traditional monolithic architectures is proposed.
