Production & Research Institute has developed CIGS solar cells New Method for laptop battery
Japan Institute of Industrial Science and Technology to develop the use of Cu-In-Ga-Se (CIGS) thin film compound solar cells New Method for the raw material of selenium (Se) utilization increased to more than 10 times. In this way Apple Battery, can reduce the production cost of solar cells to make mass production possible.
New Method is based on multiple steam made of the method developed, multi-steamed the law is copper (Cu), indium (In) and selenium and other elements in the same time, steam the vacuum, thus producing a CIGS thin film. The past, the use of selenium steamed with steam, replaced by high-frequency gas discharge plasma generated by the decomposition of selenium. Plasma decomposition of selenium have been free of emergence, reactivity is improved. As a result, successfully reduced the consumption of selenium to the previous 1 / 10 below. That previously required 10 times the number of elements such as copper and indium selenium raw materials, in the course of most of the membrane material attached to the interior side of membrane, etc., resulting in waste.
Fabrication of thin film using the new system, its surface smooth and dense A1008, A1012, the particle size is also larger. In addition, has confirmed that the production of small-area CIGS solar cell has the same conversion efficiency of the original product.
In the future, Industrial Technology Research Institute will continue to study the new system method is applied to a large area of membrane technology, the module approach will also promote the efficiency of the battery as well as the low-temperature membrane technology development.
Power Ni-MH battery breakthrough in packaging technology have been
High-energy power Ni-MH battery is a very broad range of applications of high-capacity, high-power-driven battery at the same time, it is a substance “activity” outside the Plaza strong easy, packaging technology, demanding battery. The battery manufacturers have achieved industrialization Chunlan, recently passed hundreds of experiments, the access to the battery to meet international standards of the latest packaging technologies, so as to high-energy power Ni-MH battery lightweight A1022, A1039, standardized, modular and systematic provision of high reliability, manageability and economy as a whole solution.
It is understood that Chunlan first address the high-energy power Ni-MH battery technology, hydrogen storage, followed by solution heat dissipation, discharge effect, the stability of a series of technical problems. In addition, the Chunlan using world-class production equipment, and the application of such cells to meet EU environmental requirements, a non-toxic high-density packaging materials. After testing, application of the latest packaging technology Chun-lan, high-energy power Ni-MH batteries, cooling speed, discharge performance, strong, 3C discharge capacity of up to 90% of rated capacity, normal use temperature range of -30 ℃ -55 ℃; storage temperature range of -40 ℃ -70 ℃, the use of the process do not need maintenance, and no escape of any substance, even if there is short circuit, fall, heat, vibration and other phenomena will not explode, burning.
As the packaging technology is very advanced, and therefore, Chunlan high-energy power Ni-MH battery than other types of battery with light weight, small size, big power, high energy to carry out combination, modularization and system integration effect is good, power management sensitivity, reliability, , economy, very remarkable.
U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to implement research projects UAV fuel system A1057, A1060
United Kingdom, “Defense News,” April 10, 2007 report, Millennium Cell has acquired technology companies Protonex a subcontract for the joint development of long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle fuel systems, Millennium Cell’s hydrogen fuel cell technology is first-class development of business.
As the prime contractor for the Air Force Research Laboratory, Protonex Technology, Inc. is developing a UAV power system that would Millennium Cell’s Hydrogen on Demand (HydrogenonDemand (r)) technology with a high-power fuel cell system integrate, this battery system is designed to allow the current UAV flight time from less than 2 hours to more than 6 hours.
This high-performance fuel cell system will meet the rapidly growing needs of military UAVs, which will be used for the design of unmanned aircraft surveillance, search and rescue, biological and chemical warfare agents, monitoring, and require long-endurance of the other major tasks .
Protonex Technology, Inc. is working with UAV manufacturers to work together A1061, A1078, integrating high-performance power system to meet the needs of more than the current battery-powered system, a greater payload and longer life time of need.
Millennium Cell president AdamBriggs said the mission-critical power systems to achieve the current battery-power applications can not be realized, and for our two companies provide a good opportunity for early market integration and application of our proposal. Protonex, CEO ScottPearson that, in assessing the possibility of hydrogen storage solutions, we decided to Millennium Cell’s Hydrogen on Demand technology is to meet the performance requirements of UAV the best A1079 choice.
