Upcycling solar glass into Ce-doped oxyfluorides: spectroscopic and crystallization properties
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Rafaela Valcarenghi, Marcelo Sandrini +9
Oxyfluorides containing up to 80 wt% recycled glass from end-of-life solar panels have been investigated. Reduced processing temperature and high transparency have shown that the m…
Glassy materials for Silicon-based solar panels: present and future
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Vitor Santaella Zanuto +1
Glass provides mechanical, chemical, and UV protection to solar panels, enabling these devices to withstand weathering for several decades. The increasing demand for solar electric…
Towards long term sustainability of c-Si solar panels: the environmental benefits of glass sheet recovery
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Francisnara Tonholi +2
The cover glass in a silicon solar panel accounts for about 2/3 of the device's weight. Recycling these devices at their end-of-life is fundamental to reducing the industry's envir…
Float, borosilicate and tellurites as cover glasses in Si photovoltaics: optical properties and performances under sunlight
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Henrique Silva Muniz +10
One of the most significant materials in a solar panel is the glass, which provides transparency, UV protection as well as mechanical and chemical resistance. In this work, we desc…
Brazil electricity needs in 2030: trends and challenges
Marcos Paulo Belançon
The demand for electricity and the need to replace fossil fuels by renewables have been growing steadily, and this transition will have significant implications to our world that a…
Glass engineering to enhance Si solar cells: a case study of Pr-Yb codoped tellurite-tungstate as spectral converter
Maiara Mitiko Taniguchi, Vitor Santaella Zanuto, Pablo Portes +4
Spectral converters are known to increase photovoltaic energy conversion by minimizing losses due to fundamental non-absorption and thermalization processes, and have been suggeste…
On the prospects of enhance glass based devices with silver nanoparticles: the case of Pr3+ doped tellurite-tungstate glasses
Maiara Mitiko Taniguchi, Jorge Diego Marconi, Leandro Silva Herculano +1
The development of enhanced optical devices relies on key materials properties. In this context, researchers have investigated the effects of metal nanoparticles incorporation in a…
Low frequency Raman study of the Boson peak in a Tellurite-tungstate glass over temperature
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Guilhem Simon
In this work we present our findings performing low frequency Raman measurements over temperature in a tellurite-tungstate glass sample. The spectra could be fitted by using only t…
On the dynamics of bubbles in boiling water
H. V. Ribeiro, R. S. Mendes, E. K. Lenzi +2
We investigate the dynamics of many interacting bubbles in boiling water by using a laser scattering experiment. Specifically, we analyze the temporal variations of a laser intensi…
