NREL and Stanford Team up on Peel-and-Stick Solar Cells
2013-01-10 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
It may soon be possible to charge cell phones, change tint on windows, or power small toys with peel-and-stick versions of solar cells. Stanford University and NREL showed that thin-film solar cells less than 1-micron thick can be removed from silicon substrate by dipping in water at room temperature. After exposure to 90°C, they can attach to almost any surface. "Peel and Stick: Fabricating Thin Film Solar Cells on Universal Substrates," paper appears in online version of Scientific ...This story is related to the following:Trade Associations

"NREL to Help Convert Methane to Liquid Diesel - Advanced Research Project Could Lead to ...
2013-01-03 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
NREL will help develop microbes that convert methane found in natural gas into liquid diesel fuel, which could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower dependence on foreign oil. Every molecule of methane vented to atmosphere has global-warming capacity of 12 molecules of carbon dioxide. Consortium of scientists says that if wasted gas can be turned into liquid, it can be piped to refineries where it can be turned into diesel suitable for trucks and cars, or even jet fuel for use ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:
