Hub de innovación tecnológica: Eficiencia energética y Energías Renovables

We should lead the science from the university labs to the marketplace step by step. There will be no opportunities if you don't seek them. Solar Semiconductors Morelos will attend this meeting looking for strategic partners inside the industry and technical collaboration with GIZ and the Queretaro innovators.   References: CONNEC  Project Queretaro Energy Cluster  Licore - Digital Power Solutions SEDESU - Secretary of Sustainable Development

Talking about strategies for high efficiency kesterite solar cells

Dr. Edgardo A. Saucedo visits BUAP after the MRS congress in Cancun, Mexico and gives us a motivational talk about kesterites PV technology. He is the leader of the Solar Energy Materials and Systems Group at IREC and leads the European STARCELL project too. Kesterites are a promising PV material, it's metal elements, Copper, Zinc, and Tin are abundant on earth crust. This material owns a tetragonal lattice similar to commercial PV technology. As Dr. Saucedo said, they come from the royal family of photovoltaics. Kesterites comes from the royal family of photovoltaics   Source: PV-Education Crystal structure of the royal family…

Chemical deposition of antimony sulfide & silver antimony sulfide

The following photographs show the first 30 minutes of the solution reaction for the chemical deposition of antimony sulfide thin films. This material is a p-type semiconductor. It is deposited as an amorphous source (Sb-S). The films have the necessary content to produce an orthorhombic lattice after heating above 250 ºC. ApplicationAntimony sulfide is used for the research of thin-film solar cells with the following configuration TCO/CdS/Absorber/BackContact.  This film is achieved using the formula reported in the paper I publish during my Ph.D. program (With no AgNO3).  Find it here.
