Six-parameter electrical model for photovoltaic cell/module with compound parabolic concentrator (2016)
Journal Article
Li, W., Paul, M. C., Sellami, N., Sweet, T., Montecucco, A., Siviter, J., Baig, H., Gao, M., Mallick, T., & Knox, A. (2016). Six-parameter electrical model for photovoltaic cell/module with compound parabolic concentrator. Solar Energy, 137, 551-563. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2016.08.050

It is known that compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) can improve electrical performance of a photovoltaic (PV) flat-plate system. However, a lumped electrical model of a PV cell/module with CPC for assessing performance under different operating...

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 55(22), 6433-6437. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201601420

A surfactant-free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single-phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {... Read More about Facile Surfactant-Free Synthesis of p-Type SnSe Nanoplates with Exceptional Thermoelectric Power Factors.

A novel absorptive/reflective solar concentrator for heat and electricity generation: An optical and thermal analysis (2016)
Journal Article
Meng, X., Sellami, N., Knox, A. R., Montecucco, A., Siviter, J., Mullen, P., Ashraf, A., Samarelli, A., Llin, L. F., Paul, D. J., & et al. (2016). A novel absorptive/reflective solar concentrator for heat and electricity generation: An optical and thermal analysis. Energy Conversion and Management, 114, 142-153

The crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is one of the most efficient non-imaging solar concentrators used as a stationary solar concentrator or as a second stage solar concentrator. In this study, the CCPC is modified to demonstrate for th... Read More about A novel absorptive/reflective solar concentrator for heat and electricity generation: An optical and thermal analysis.
