Due to energy crises in the future, much effort is being directed towards alternate sources. Solar energy is accepted as a novel substitute for conventional sources of energy. Out of the long list of various types of solar cells available on the market, solid state photoelectrochemical solar cells (SSPECs) and dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are proposed as an alternative to costly crystalline solar cell. This review provides a common platform for SSPECs and DSSCs using polymer electrolyte, particularly on polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymer electrolytes. Due to numerous advantageous properties of PEO, it is frequently used as an electrolyte in both SSPECs as well as DSSCs. In DSSCs, so far high efficiency (more than 11%) has been obtained only by using volatile liquid electrolyte, which suffers many disadvantages, such as corrosion, leakage and evaporation. The PEO-based solid polymer proves its importance and could be used to solve the problems stated above. The recent de…

Comments OffBiodegradable Golf Ball Made Of Lobster Shells
University of Maine researchers have developed a biodegradable golf ball made from lobster shells. Although biodegradable golf balls already exist, this is the first to be made with crushed lobster shells with a biodegradable binder and coating, creating value from the waste material. “We’re using a byproduct of the lobster canning industry which is currently miserably underutilized — it ends up in a landfill,” David Neivandt says. “We’re employing it in a value-added consumer product which hopefully has some cachet in the market.” And that cachet doesn’t come with a higher price tag. Biodegradable golf balls that are now on the market retail for a little under $1 per ball. The raw materials for the lobster shell balls cost as little as 19 cents per ball. The ball is intended for use on cruise ships. The composite material is probably not nano. Read More

Research and Markets Ltd. reports that the market for carbon nanotubes ( CNT s), nanofibers, fullerenes and POSS and graphene grew at an annual rate of 30% per year up to 2008; however the market slowed down due to the global recession but picked up again in the fourth quarter of 2009, driven by demand from the semiconductors, electronics and energy markets. According to their report , these will continue to be the main application markets through to 2017, when the market for these nanomaterials will account for an estimated US$3205.8million in revenues. Main market drivers include the need to improve the performance and speed of semiconductors and electronics, reduce costs and increase safety in aerospace and military applications, and increase the efficiency of devices. There are over 100 companies producing carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, fullerenes, POSS and graphene, with many more companies utilizing these materials for incorporation into new products and processes across a raft of industries. Main producers and application developers are Arkema, Bayer, Showa Denko, NEC , Hyperion Catalysis, Mitsui, Nanocyl, Shenzhen Nanotech Port, Iljin Nanotech and Mitsubishi Chemical. This new 132 page report from leading technology publisher Future Markets, Inc. provides a comprehensive analysis of these exciting new markets through to 2017.

Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center ( PARC ) has developed a new printing technology that promises to pack more energy into batteries for electric vehicles. By printing a striped pattern of energy storage materials and highly conductive materials, researchers at PARC are making electrodes that are much thicker than those in conventional batteries. These could increase battery storage capacity by 10 to 30 percent while costing little more to manufacture, says Scott Elrod, director of the Hardware Systems Laboratory at PARC . The technology could also apply to metal-air batteries that could store far more energy than anything on the market today. Read More
