摘要:
An efficient dye doped solar cell that improves upon the conventional dye-sensitized solar cells known within the art. The present inventive dye doped solar cell and its method of manufacture completely eliminate an electrolyte component common to conventional solar cells thereby removing numerous complications found in conventional dye doped cells such as inconsistent reproducibility and safety issues due to leakage of the electrolyte component. The dye doped solar cell of the present invention provides a novel replacement for the conventional electrolyte layer that provides significant improvements in both the safety and function of the inventive dye doped solar cell while eliminating the troublesome electrolyte component that is required in the conventional dye-sensitized doped solar cells known within the art.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for producing, capturing and storing hydrogen in a hydrogen absorption rod. The hydrogen absorption rod comprises a zeolite core material surrounding a conductive rod, wherein the zeolite core material is suitable for releasing captured hydrogen to a hydrogen fuel cell. More specifically, the apparatus and method utilize solar-generated electric current to separate hydrogen from water, whereupon the released hydrogen is captured in the hydrogen absorption rod. The hydrogen absorption rod is configured to allow for ease and safety of transportation, storage, and use of hydrogen gas in hydrogen fuel cells.
摘要:
A method of dissociating or decomposing the elemental components of a medium within a treatment zone via application of radio frequency energy. The selected medium may be communicated to a treatment zone, such as a chamber, wherein the chamber walls and/or a plurality of antenna disposed within the chamber or treatment zone emit radio frequency energy capable of separating the elemental components of the selected medium. The plurality of antenna may further comprise a chemical coating disposed thereon to facilitate the medium separation process. Denser elemental components may be removed from a bottom portion of the chamber or treatment zone, while lighter elemental components may be removed from an upper portion of the chamber or treatment zone. A vacuum pump or any other means known within the art may be used to remove the elemental components from the chamber or treatment zone.

摘要:
Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices known in the art to produce an electric current in the presence of light when placed in a closed electric circuit. The amount of electric current generated is typically a function of the area of the cell exposed to light. The invention is an improved photovoltaic cell comprised of multiple layers of semiconductor material forming N-P junctions with interdispersed light transmitting particles in a ceramic sleeve. The light transmitting particles act as waveguides enabling light to be transmitted through multiple layers of semiconductor material to lower N-P layers, where they are absorbed, generating an electric current. Photovoltaic cells of a plurality of layers and in varying dimensions may be fabricated, yielding a variety of form factors available to the photovoltaic cell designer and enabling photovoltaic cell use in numerous applications. The present invention is also directed to a method for fabricating such photovoltaic cells.
