Solar energy applications.

LIQUIDSEMITM SOLAR ENERGY

Thin Film Photovoltaics

Non-silicon, thin-film solar cells are gaining popularity because of their ability to take advantage of a broader range of the solar spectrum and for their low cost manufacturing techniques.  Our LiquidSemiTM solar technology is applicable to these markets to replace existing methods for manufacturing semiconductor layers in photovoltaic devices including rigid or flexible substrate devices and utilizing high volume deposition techniques. In addition, our semiconductor thin-films can incorporate nanostructures that have been identified as potential paths for creating next-generation, ultra-efficient solar devices.

Solar Fuels

LiquidSemiTM solar solutions can be used to manufacture catalyst materials that can produce hydrogen fuel from water using the sun’s energy.  Once stored, hydrogen can be used as a fuel source for fuel cells to create on-demand energy. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and heat without combustion. By using the sun’s energy, these materials could present a method for producing a renewable, reliable, and clean fuel source and safe, 24/7 power to homes and businesses.
