Fabrication and Characterization of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
2014
Among the next-generation solar cells, a predominant role is played by Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) based on ruthenium complexes as sensitizers. They take advantage of a photoelectrochemical system to transform solar radiation into electric energy. In fact, DSSCs represent a cost-effective alternative to traditional silicon-based photovoltaic devices and they do not require expensive and sophisticated apparatus for their fabrication. In this work, we have produced and tested ruthenium DSSCs. In particular, we have measured the main parameters of these cells, such as the electrical and power performances and the efficiency levels, at different irradiance levels and at different incident…
Design and development of a continuous wave functional near infrared spectroscopy system
2014
Functional Near InfraRed Spectroscopy uses light sources and optical detectors for human brain monitoring. In this paper, a portable, low cost, battery-operated, multi-channel, continuous wave fNIRS embedded system, hosting up to 64 LED sources and 128 Silicon PhotoMultiplier optical detectors, is reported on. The designed system is based on a scalable architecture, in which each probe consists of 8 modular and flexible stands, able to host 4 bi-color LEDs as light sources, 16 silicon photomultipliers as photodetectors and a temperature sensor. The hardware structure allows to easily set up several relevant parameters: the timing of the LEDs, the optical power emitted by the LEDs; the acqui…
