  • Recommended Pick and Place Tools for Leds from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors
    www.osram.com/os Application Note No. AN037 Recommended pick and place tools for LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Application Note Valid for: all SMT LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors Abstract OSRAM Opto Semiconductors SMT devices are developed for assembly by automatic placement machines. To achieve a damage-free processing of LEDs, appropriate and individual pick and place tools (the nozzles) must be used. The following pages provide information about important parameters that should be considered for LED assembly. Furthermore a recommended nozzle design for each LED in the OSRAM Opto Semiconductors portfolio is given. Authors: Retsch Stefanie / Lang Kurt-Jürgen 2021-06-22 | Document No.: AN037 1 / 21 www.osram.com/os Table of contents A.Pick-and-place process .......................................................................................... 2 B.Overview of recommended nozzle designs ............................................................ 2 A. Pick-and-place process As is the standard for SMT devices, all SMT LEDs from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors are designed for an automated pick and place process. To receive optimal process results, it is necessary to set the pick and place machine properly. In the initial production run, it must be ensured that the LED package can be grabbed by the nozzle and sucked out of the tape pocket. Therefore, an appropriate nozzle (pipette or pick-up tool) has to be used. This application note gives an overview on the recommended nozzles and the dimensions. An appropriate nozzle not only ensures a good pick and place process, it also helps to prevent damage to the LED. To avoid any damage during the pick-up process, the pick-up position should be controlled and adjusted during the set-up.

  • (FTO-Free) Graphene Cathode for Co-Mediated Dye-Sensiti
    Low-temperature Fabrication of Highly-Efficient, Optically-Transparent (FTO-free) Graphene Cathode for Co-Mediated Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Acetonitrile-free Electrolyte Solution Ladislav Kavan1,2*, Paul Liska1, Shaik M. Zakeeruddin1 and Michael Graetzel1 1Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces, Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland 2J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, v.v.i., Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Dolejškova 3, CZ-18223 Prague 8, Czech Republic *e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Propionitrile electrolyte solutions mixed with sulfolane or with 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetracyanoborate (ionic liquid) are optimized for Co(bpy)3+/Co(bpy)2+-mediated DSCs working at low illumination intensity. Highly-active cathode catalysts based on graphene oxide, either pure or mixed with graphene nanoplatelets or with stacked graphene fibers, can be prepared at temperatures ≤200oC. The catalytic layers are well adhering to the substrates, i.e. to FTO or to stainless-steel surfaces, both the flat steel sheet and the steel wires in woven fabric consisting of transparent polyester (PEN) fibers in warp and stainless steel wires in weft (Sefar B23). The dye- sensitized solar cells with various cathodes, fabricated either from Pt or from optimized graphene-based catalysts, and supported by either FTO or by stainless-steel/PEN fabric show similar solar conversion efficiencies between 6.9 and 7.9 % at 0.25 sun illumination. KEYWORDS: dye sensitized solar cell; electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; stainless- steel; woven fabric; Co-mediator 1 1. Introduction The dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) also called the Graetzel cell [1,2] is an efficient, low-cost photovoltaic device achieving competitive parameters on the lab-scale, but its pervasive commercialization still requires some improvements.

The cost reduction, together with transparency as a device feature, will enable a huge penetration of the organic light-emitting device (OLED) technology into the lighting market. This will help European lighting companies to maintain their leadership in this market at worldwide level. One of todays cost drivers for OLED is the substrate cost. Therefore one focus was on the development of low cost substrates. Three low cost substrate techniques were developed.

  • Embargoed to 00.01, 23 July 2021 Press Release the South Ken Green Trail – Welcoming People and Nature on Exhibition Road
    Embargoed to 00.01, 23 July 2021 Press release The South Ken Green Trail – welcoming people and nature on Exhibition Road An algae factory, a nest-like timber mound and giant slices of a decommissioned wind turbine blade form a series of new ‘green interventions’ unveiled today on London’s Exhibition Road. Together they are supporting the post-pandemic recovery of London’s arts and science district, and demonstrating how plants, greenery and biodiversity can be creatively embedded in London’s public realm, reclaiming space for nature amidst the bustle of the capital. The free-to-visit installations will be in place for everyone to enjoy until October alongside a new walking trail connecting them with other planting and green spaces across the district. A downloadable trail map will help visitors to explore and discover hidden nature in the city, with activities and events throughout the summer providing inspiring ideas for a greener future. Design teams were chosen as part of a competition organised by the London Festival of Architecture and Discover South Kensington. Each has worked with one of the three cultural partner institutions – the V&A, Science Museum and Goethe-Institut – to develop installations that can inspire visitors to Exhibition Road, and to encourage them to further explore this welcoming, vibrant and diverse district. By bringing together leading design and current research in biodiversity and sustainability, the installations epitomise the area’s role in promoting debate and driving progress to address society’s most pressing challenges. ● The Algae Meadow has been created by Seyi Adelekun and Wayward, in collaboration with the V&A, and working with specialists from UCL and Imperial College London.
