  • Nanotechnology for Solar Module Applications: Zinc Oxide Nanostructures and Anti-Reflective Coating Modeling, Deposition, Analysis, and Model Fitting
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Katherine M. Han for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering presented on March 19, 2014. Title: Nanotechnology for Solar Module Applications: Zinc Oxide Nanostructures and Anti-Reflective Coating Modeling, Deposition, Analysis, and Model Fitting Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Chih-Hung Chang To become a competitor for fossil fuels such as coal, solar installations will need to be produced and installed at a price equal to or below grid parity. This price can be approached by either reducing the overall system cost or increasing system efficiency. The focus of this paper is on increasing both cell and module efficiency through application of nanotechnology and by numeral modeling. The first portion of this dissertation will focus on the production and characterization of zinc oxide urchin-like nanostructures. These nanostructures have a very high surface area to volume ratio. Such nanostructures could be appropriate for dye sensitized solar cells, an emergent PV technology. The second portion focuses on improving a solar module’s anti- reflective properties. In a traditional glass-encapsulated solar module at least 4% of the incoming light is lost to reflections off of the first optical interface alone. This in turn lower system efficiency and increases the levelized cost of energy. The power loss can be reduced greatly by thin film or gradient index anti-reflective coatings. An in-depth review of the current options for mathematical modeling of the optics of anti- reflective coatings is presented. The following chapter describes a numerical approach to anti-reflective interface design and a comparison between the finite- difference time-domain and the transfer matrix method of optical modeling.

  • SUNDIAL Prisum Monthly Newsletter January 2018 Happy New Year!
    SUNDIAL PrISUm Monthly Newsletter January 2018 Happy New Year! As PrISUm rolls into 2018 with Penumbra back in the States, the team looks back on quite a year of new endeavors . Penumbra became the first four door solar car in the United States to compete in the World Solar Challenge. Before going to the World Solar Challenge, Penumbra and a large variety of team members traveled to every county in Iowa sharing our passions for sustainable energy sources Penumbra Unveiled and education. Shortly after, Penumbra made her way to the land down under. Penumbra was PrISUm’s first car to make it to Australia and compete in the cruiser class. Now looking forward to PrISUm’s upcoming year, the team has two priorities. Now that Penumbra is back, members of the mechanical and electrical teams are working towards prepping the car for Formula Sun Grand Prix and the American Solar Challenge in July. The team members who aren’t working on Penny (and even most of them who are) are looking towards the next cycle. That’s right! PrISUm has started design work for the 15th car. No details are being released on the 15th car at this moment, but the team has learned a lot of helpful knowledge both from Penumbra’s design and build process, but also by learning from industry partners and other competitors. Outreach PrISUm prides itself in doing meaningful outreach to everyone in our community: young, less young, student, life long learner, and anyone in between. While SunRun was a great way to reach out to hundreds of thousands of people, it’s not the only time to see the car and team out and about.

    Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory December 2014 A Weapon Test at Supersonic Speed Also in this issue: A Model for Sustainability Crystal Orientation Mapping NuSTAR Looks at Neutron Stars About the Cover A team of Lawrence Livermore engineers and scientists helped design and develop a new warhead for the U.S. Air Force. This five-year effort culminated in a highly successful sled test on October 23, 2013, at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. The test achieved speeds greater than Mach 3 and assessed how the new warhead responded to simulated flight conditions. The success of the sled test also demonstrated the value of using advanced computational and manufacturing technologies to develop complex conventional munitions for aerospace systems. The artist’s rendering on the cover shows a supersonic conventional weapon as it emerges from its rocket nose cone and prepares to reenter Earth’s atmosphere.
