Novel organic dyes, JK-34, JK-35 and JK-36 containing bis-dimethylfluorenyl amino coumarin unit are designed and synthesized. Nanocrystalline TiO2 dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using these dyes. Under standard global AM 1.5 solar condition, the JK-34 sensitized cell gave a short circuit photocurrent density of 10.05 mA cm?2, open circuit voltage of 0.65 V, and a fill factor of 0.68, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency η of 4.54%. We found that the power conversion efficiency was shown to be quite sensitive to the structural modifications of bridging thiophene moiety.

The novel form of composite walling system consists of two skins of profiled steel sheeting with an in-fill of concrete. Such walling system can be used as shear elements in steel framed building subjected to lateral load. This paper presents the results of small-scale model tests on composite wall and its components manufactured from very thin sheeting and micro-concrete tested under monotonic and cyclic shear loading conditions. The heavily instrumented small-scale tests provided information on the load-deformation response, strength, stiffness, strain condition, sheet-concrete interaction and failure modes. Analytical models for shear strength and stiffness are derived with some modification factor to take into account the effect of quasi-static cycling loading. The performance of design equations is validated through experimental results.

Copper Oxide (CuO) films were deposited on the n-type silicon wafer by rf magnetron sputtering for heterojunction solar cells. And then the samples were treated as a function of the annealing temperature (300-600℃) in a vacuum. Their electrical, optical and structural properties of the fabricated heterojunction solar cells were then investigated and the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of the fabricated p-type copper oxide/n-type Si heterojunction cells were measured using solar simulator. After being treated at temperature of 500℃, the solar cells with CuO film have PCE of 0.43%, Current density of 5.37mA/㎠, Fill Factor of 39.82%.

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have attracted significant interest in an interdisciplinary research field for the decades as a next-generation photovoltaic device due to their unique advantages. One of requirements for OPVs having high power conversion efficiency is the favorable energy level alignment between the electrode/organic and organic/organic interfaces to manage the exciton dissociation and improve the charge transport. In this review, strategies to enhance the OPV performance by controlling the energy level alignment are discussed. The insertion of an exciton blocking layer leads to the efficient dissociation of photogenerated excitons at the donor/acceptor interface enhancing the short-circuit current density. The choice of a donor having a high ionization energy and an acceptor having a low electron affinity increases the open-circuit voltage. The insertion of an appropriate work function modifier which reduces the charge injection barrier removes the S-kink in current density-voltage characteristics of OPVs and improves the fill factor. This review would give a valuable guide to design the efficient OPV structure.

We have studied photovoltaic characteristics of single-junction GaAs solar cells with/without an $MgF_2/ZnS$ anti-reflective coating (ARC) illuminated by low-density concentration (<10 suns). By the ARC deposition, the short-circuit current density ($J_{SC}$) and the fill factor (FF) are increased by $5mA/cm^2$ and 5% at a standard illumination (1 sun), respectively, and the resulted conversion efficiency is enhanced by 45%. In contrast with the cell with no ARC showing a rapid degradation with increasing concentration power, the efficiency of ARC-deposited cell remains almost constant as ($17.7{\pm}0.3$)% regardless of the concentration. It informs that ARC treatment is very effective in GaAs concentrator solar cells.

This work is concerned with the fabrication process and photo-response characteristics of Cd S/(p) Si solar cells. In order to fabricate the cell. low grade Si wafer has been used as an absorber and Cd S which works as a window material has been prepared by vacuum evaporation. Cd S thin film, as evaporated, is polycristal and resistance is very high but these properties are improved by annealing. The properties of the fabricated cells are found to depend largely on the transmittance of Cd S. The effects of Cd S thickness and annealing condition on the fill factor and efficiency of the cell are investigated quantitatively.

태양광 패널 등가모델을 결합한 태양광 발전 패널 모의 장치(SAS)는 정확도 면에서 많은 장점이 있다. 특히 SAS에서 사용되는 등가회로 모델은 주변 환경에 맞게 빠르게 변하는 I-V 출력특성을 추출하며, 추출시간이 짧다. 이러한 방법을 이용하려면 제어기를 주목해야하는데, 보통 전압 또는 전류 제어기 하나만 사용한다. 하지만 Fill factor가 높은 패널인 경우, 전압 또는 전류제어기 하나만 사용하여서는 제어가 잘 되지 않기 때문에 본 논문에서는 전압과 전류제어기 모두 사용하되, 필요에 따라 스위칭 하여 사용하는 하이브리드 제어기법을 제안한다. 이러한 기법을 통하여 모두 제어가 가능한 기법을 제안한다.

The energy conversion characteristics of $TiO_2$ paste of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) was investigated. In the case of DSSC without a binder, the current density increased due to the development of porosity. As for DSSC with a binder, the fill factor increased due to the development of network among the particles. The energy conversion efficiency of 7.2% was obtained due to the porosity and the network as for DSSC with the mixed binder (Vol. 50:50).

The performance modeling of a $25{\mu}m$ pitch VGA ${\mu}$-bolometer with the self-aligned thermal resistor structure is carried out. The self-aligned thermal resistor can be utilized for the maximizing the thermal resistance and the fill factor of a bolometer, so the performance improvement can be expected. From the results of the performance modeling of the micro-bolometer with self-align thermal resistor for a $25{\mu}m$ pitch $640{\times}480$ microbolometer designed with $0.6{\mu}m$ minimum feature size, the drastic improvements of NETD from 38.7 mK to 19.1 mK, responsivity of 1.9 times are expected with a self aligned thermal resistor structure. The main reason for the performance improvements with a self-aligned thermal resistor structure comes from the increasement of the thermal resistance.
