Basic Fundamentals of Different Solar Cells, Solar Energy Materials and Photovoltaic Performances
Abstract: Solar cell is one of the thrust areas of modern technology in the field of renewable energy. Crystalline semiconductor wafer based solar cells (SCs) (thicknesses almost 200–300 μm) mainly crystalline-Si or GaAs based solar cells are playing the legend role in last few decades. With technological revolution, thin film SCs (thickness range 1–2 μm), dye-sensitized or Graetzel, organic/polymer and plasmonic solar cell respectively are known as 2nd,3rd, 4th and 5th …

Review On Bipolar Plate Geometric Design and Materials for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Applications
Abstract: Abstract Bipolar plates (BPs) are vital components in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), performing multiple essential functions that directly influence system efficiency, durability, and overall operational performance. They ensure uniform distribution of reactant gases across the active area, provide electrical conductivity between adjacent cells, assist in effective thermal management by dissipating heat generated during electrochemical reactions, and maintain proper sealing to prevent leakage of gases and coolant. Among these …
