We report on copper nanoparticles produced by laser ablation, in acetone and methanol, from a Cu target using a 1064 nm nanosecond pulsed laser. The morphology, size, structure and chemical composition of the nano-particles are investigated as a function of the solvent employed. Different analyses confirm the metallic nature of the nanoparticles, w...
As Si single-junction technology is approaching its Shockley–Queisser theoretical limit, relevant efforts are being expended towards the development of multi-junction modules. In this work, we employ an optical model based on Monte Carlo ray tracing to compare four different multi-junction modules in a voltage-matched two-terminal (VM2T) configurat...
The electrochemical synthesis of ammonia through the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is receiving much attention, since it is considered a promising alternative to the Haber–Bosch process. In NRR experiments, a Nafion membrane is generally adopted as a separator. However, its use is controversial since ammonia can be trapped in the membrane, to s...
The development of a highly efficient multijunction technology is a key challenge for the future of photovoltaic and for the transition to more renewable energy sources. In this scenario, four-terminal architecture (4T) compared to the classic tandem design allows a large intrinsic robustness to the variations of the solar spectrum, which continuou...
Bifacial photovoltaics and multijunction systems represent the most promising alternatives to overcome the theoretical limit of single-junction Si photovoltaics, and these solutions can also be combined to achieve higher performances. This work investigates the outdoor performance of a bifacial four-terminal photovoltaic system based on combining a...
Bifacial photovoltaics (BPVs) are emerging with large momentum as promising solutions to improve energy yield and cost of PV systems. To reach its full potential, an accurate understanding of the physical characteristics of BPV technology is required. For this reason, we collected experimental data to refine a physical model of BPV. In particular,...
