Abstract: According to a main objective of the present invention, the three-dimensional arrangement of solar cells is adjusted so as to use sunlight directly coming from the sun mainly for solar power generation while transmitting wavelengths necessary for the growth of plants and reflecting wavelengths unnecessary for or hindering the growth of plants among wavelengths of sunlight passing through the solar cells to use the reflected wavelengths for additional solar power generation.
Sunlight reflected by the dichroic optical filter may be used to additionally generate electricity using solar cells provided perpendicular to the dichroic optical filter, thereby maximizing the use efficiency of sunlight.

Abstract: Proposed is a CO2-reduction membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which is a novel MEA capable of changing a reaction condition to an alkaline condition from a problematic acidic condition unfavorable to reactions on a cathode side during catalytic reactions using a cation exchange membrane (CEM) as a separator. In addition, the MEA can reduce a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which is a side reaction. In addition, a method of manufacturing the MEA, and a CO2-reduction assembly including the MEA are also proposed.

Abstract: Proposed is an iridium alloy catalyst having reversible catalytic activity for an oxygen evolution reaction (OER), a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and a hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) by including an iridium alloy including iridium (Ir) and nickel (Ni). The iridium alloy catalyst according to the present disclosure is rapidly converted to an iridium alloy catalyst in an oxide form and an iridium alloy catalyst in a metallic form according to applied voltage by controlling its crystallinity. Thus, even in case an oxide layer is formed after the OER, the oxidation layer disappears during the HER and HOR and the properties of an iridium metal catalyst remain, thereby maintaining HER/HOR performance.

More particularly, the CIGSSe thin film for a solar cell shows a decrease in peak intensity of sulfur from the surface of the thin film to the local minimum value point of sulfur content in the depth direction, after the analysis based on the Auger electron spectroscopy, and thus controls the band-gap in the thin film. Therefore, the solar cell including the CIGSSe thin film shows an excellent effect in improving photoelectric conversion efficiency.
