Recently, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a new method for coating nanowires on flexible graphene sheets. This method can produce low-cost, transparent and flexible solar cells that can be used on the surfaces of windows, roofs, and other objects. The latest research results were published in the recent Nano Express newspaper. The co-authors include MIT postdoctoral scientists Pu Huixing and Zhang Shenggen, associate professor of materials science and engineering, Sergey Gretek, and others. 8 researchers from MIT. At present, most solar cells are made of silicon. Since silicon needs to be highly purified and then made into crystals and cut into thin slices, the price has always been relatively expensive. Many researchers are exploring alternatives to silicon, such as nanostructures or hybrid solar cells, and indium tin oxide (ITO) is a transparent electrode used in these new types of solar cells. Gretek said: "At present, ITO is the first choice for transparent electrode materials, such as touch screen smartphones. However, the price of indium in this compound is high, and graphene is composed of ubiquitous and inexpensive carbon. ." Gretek said that graphene may be a new material to replace ITO. In addition to its low cost, it also has advantages such as good flexibility, light weight, high mechanical strength and chemical stability. Due to the stability and inert structure of graphite, it is highly challenging to construct a semiconductor nanostructure directly on the surface of pure graphene without affecting its electrical properties and structure. So Gretek and his team used a series of polymer coatings to change the properties of graphene so that it could bind the zinc oxide nanowire layer and then cover it with a sulfide quantum dot that responds to light waves or a Material polymer for P3HT. Gretek said: "Despite the changes, the intrinsic properties of graphene remain unchanged. It is a composite material with significant advantages." The MIT team has confirmed that electrodes based on graphene and ITO are comparable in terms of efficiency. In the case of covering sulfide quantum dots, graphene has a 4.2% lower power conversion efficiency than a general-purpose silicon cell, but will be competitive in special applications in the future. In addition, Zhang Shenggen, a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Department of Materials Science and Engineering, said that unlike other semiconductors whose temperature has been steadily increasing, graphite electrodes coated with zinc oxide nanowires can completely control the temperature at 175. Below Celsius.
Metal bonded diamond grinding can be metal
bond diamond grinding wheel or metal bond CBN Grinding Wheels. Diamond and CBN
are two types of super abrasive types. CBN abrasive is mainly used for high
speed steel, mould steel, HSS steel which include big amount of iron portion.
Metal bond Grinding Wheels have advantage
of long life time and high precision conformity.They can also be made to all types
of Grinding Heads and drilling bits. Kemei produces all these metal bond
grinding tools. If you need any type ,please contact us.
Due to different material have different
hardness and toughness, we offer full sizes diamond cutting wheels in metal bond,
resin bond and nickel-based electroplated bond. The perfect cutting ability
give very nice surface, no chipping or broken. We always offer you the most suitable
grinding solutions and grinding wheels.
