42 Electro-Optic Materials Business drivers
• Need for sustainable energy solutions, leading to • Growth of concentrator photovoltaics for clean energy generation • LED technology allowing energy-efficient and durable lighting solutions
• Continuous increase of telecommunication needs, leading to • Growing power demand for newly launched (telecom) satellites • Deployment of optical fibre networks
• Increasing safety and security needs • Creating a need for infra-red camera and detector systems used in night vision, fire- fighting and surveillance systems
43 Electro-Optic Materials Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV)
• Germanium-based solar cells offer highest ConcentrationConcentration withwith lenslens systemsystem energy conversion ratio • Industrial efficiencies up to 40% (cfr. Si 15%-20%)
• Higher cost limits use to niches (space)
• Concentration set-up allows cost-effective use on earth CPVCPV bbasedased solarsolar panelpanel • Using concentration optics (lenses or mirrors) • Using concentrations of up to factor 1,000x • Applicability limited to • Sun-rich countries (direct sunlight needed) • Larger installations (sun tracking required)
44 Electro-Optic Materials High-efficiency solar cells
• Best energy conversion ratio • III-V compounds are deposited onto a germanium substrate to form a number of cells
on top of each other front • Allows to convert solar spectrum more A/R* contact A/R* efficiently top cell (1.8eV) GaInP • Industrial efficiency up to 40% tunnel junction middle cell (1.4eV) Ga(In)As • World record at 42% tunnel junction bottom cell (0.7eV) • Application Ge substrate • Main application up to today is Ge back contact for space solar cells *A/R: Anti-Reflective coating
• Use of these cells in terrestrial applications is rapidly growing, using concentration (CPV)
45 Electro-Optic Materials Principle of Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV)
• Using high concentration factors (100x – 1000x), the
relative cost of the cell in the
Concentrating optics system goes down
• Increased efficiency of total system more than offsets the
higher cost of high efficiency 80-85% optical efficiency solar cells
Module efficiency • Cell also needs to resist to higher temperatures >30 % feasible (Si cells are less tolerant)
40% cell efficiency Heat sink

46 Electro-Optic Materials Advantages of tracking systems
• Optimisation of effective surface following the sun movement • During the day • Over the seasons
• Concentration mandatory for CPV to allow concentration

47 Electro-Optic Materials Where to install CPV?
• Direct irradiation required to allow for concentration to function • Sufficient irradiation required for optimal cost structure Courtesy of Concentrix GmbH, Germany • Regions with direct irradiation (marked in yellow) are potential markets for efficient use of CPV systems
48 Electro-Optic Materials Basic idea is translated in a wealth of designs
49 Electro-Optic Materials CPV summary
• High system efficiency allows efficient land use
• Efficiency remains high with high ambient temperatures

78 Group Research & Development Key activities
79 Research & development: An integrated approach
• Technology platforms are found both in Group R&D and in the business unit R&D
• Part of the R&D performed by each BU is specific to the BU technology and market, and therefore might not fit in a technology platform
• Group R&D creates, fosters and develops Group innovation projects from the idea stage to venture unit status
80 Competence platform Recycling & Extraction Technology
• Development of metallurgical processes to close the materials loop: • Waste-free recycling • Green processes
• High throughput of precious and specialty metals • Strong knowledge base built on historical expertise of the predecessors of Umicore
81 Competence platform Fine Particle Technology
• Development of micron- and nano-sized functional materials: metals, alloys, oxides • Functionalisation of particles for specific applications: coatings, dispersions • Cost-effective industrial scale processing and production processes
82 Competence platform Scientific & Technical Operations Support
• State of the art laboratory and pilot installations • Advanced research methods: • Computer modelling • High throughput experimentations
• Data mining
• IP-protection, external funding, external network management and scouting
83 Competence platform Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)
• Scientific and technology development to implement Umicore’s EHS-policies • EHS-related risk assessments
• Toxicity and exo-toxicity evaluation
• Product life cycle analysis
84 Competence platform Analytical Competencies
