  1. 1. Tuning Photovoltaic Properties of Two-dimensional Molybdenum Disulfide by Alloying: An ab initio study

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Mochen Li; [2023]
    Keywords : Photovoltaic; Molybdenum disulfide; Absorption coefficient; ab initio material design; Fotovoltaisk; Molybdendisulfid; Absorptionskoefficient; ab initio materialdesign;

    Abstract : Addressing the urgent need for innovative energy solutions amidst increasing environmental concerns, the focus on photovoltaic solar cells is intensifying. Currently limited by the Shockley-Queisser limit, conventional silicon-based solar cells offer a maximum power conversion efficiency of 32%. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

  4. 3. Processing techniques of perovskite solar cells : Properties depending on material and manufacturing

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikalisk kemi

    Author : Andréa Nordmark; Simon Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project investigates how different types of perovskite solar cells, differentiated by choice of materials and processing techniques, compares to each other regarding performance and characterization. The purpose of the project is to further develop perovskite solar cells and to improve the method of manufacturing for better performance. READ MORE

  5. 4. Monitoring of microclimate underneath agrivoltaic systems using IoT sensor station

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Erik Stridsman; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Microclimate monitoring; IoT; Albedo measurement; Temperature measurement; Humidity measurement; Arduino;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic systems work on the principle of combining farmland with Photovoltaic energy conversion giving the land it sits on dual purpose. Moreover, by combining solar electricity conversion and crop production additional benefits such as water saving and, in some cases even higher crop yields compared to open field conditions.
