- Company Profile:
A chemical element used as a dopant in making n-type semiconductor layers.
Industry:Energy
The evolution of gas from one or more of the electrodes in the cells of a battery. Gassing commonly results from local action self-discharge or from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte during charging.
Industry:Energy
The period of time that a charged battery, when filled with electrolyte, can remain unused before dropping below a specified level of performance.
Industry:Energy
A device for measuring light intensity that works by converting light falling on, or reach it, to electricity, and then measuring the current; used in photometers.
Industry:Energy
The portion of charge current that goes into electrolytical production of hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolytic liquid. This current increases with increasing voltage and temperature.
Industry:Energy
A type of photovoltaic device in which the electricity induced in the cell is used immediately within the cell to produce a chemical, such as hydrogen, which can then be withdrawn for use.
Industry:Energy
A wide band gap material chosen for its transparency to light. Generally used as the top layer of a photovoltaic device, the window allows almost all of the light to reach the semiconductor layers beneath.
Industry:Energy
Lead-acid battery in which the electrolyte is composed of a silica gel matrix.
