- This federal grant award to the University of Illinois, a public land-grant research university, aims to develop high-efficiency, low-cost solar cell technology. The $320,000.00 grant will fund research into growing a thin gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) solar cell on top of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), which is expected to increase the short-circuit current density and overall efficiency of the GaAsP cell. The research seeks to mitigate issues with defects and low diffusion length in...
- This federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) is for a three-year project to develop a high-efficiency, high-temperature InGaN-based tandem solar cell designed to operate above 25% efficiency at temperatures above 400°C. The goal is to enable transformational improvements in solar power generation capabilities for space applications. The $593,533.24 grant leverages ASU's expertise in III-nitride materials and device...
- This is a $269,755.94 federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University to develop III-V/silicon multijunction solar cells optimized for space power generation. The goal is to create high-efficiency, radiation-hardened dual- and triple-junction photovoltaic devices that can be produced at lower cost compared to existing space solar cell technologies. Key aspects include using an inexpensive silicon substrate, metamorphic materials...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research valued at $336,000.00 to the University of Illinois, doing business as The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
