Energy Materials Corporation Sets World Record for High-Speed, Roll-to-Roll Printing of Conductors on Flexible Glass for Perovskite Solar Panels

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Energy Materials Corporation (EMC), the global leader in the development of high-speed roll-to-roll manufacturing of high-performance solar energy panels, announces that it has developed an enabling process to print transparent conductors as part of the scale-up of its inline manufacturing process.

Roll-to-roll printing of metal conductors on Corning® Willow® Glass (flexible glass) at 60 meters per minute sets a world speed record for printing flexible electronics on glass. The process surpasses the company’s goal of achieving less than 5% loss in the transmission of light though the conductive layer.

The manufacture of transparent conducting films, commonly found in flat panel screens, touchscreens on phones and tablets, as well as solar panels, is a complex and costly production step requiring low resistance electrodes that transmit a large fraction of incident light.

«A key piece of our high-speed, low-cost model is to print all the layers of our solar module in one continuous inline process. Typical transparent conductors are manufactured using a high temperature, vacuum deposition process that is more than ten times too slow to be integrated into our high-speed inline system,» stated Dr. Tom Tombs, EMC CTO. «Our ability to print fine metal lines at 60 meters per minute is a critical element that allows us to eliminate the high-cost of transparent conductors, such as ITO, currently used in solar cells.»

«This combination of product performance at high process speed illustrates the benefit of using high-resolution flexography for additive manufacturing. This is an example of Kodak’s commitment to helping partners develop revolutionary products with our unique EKTAFLEX functional printing platform, manufacturing infrastructure and technical expertise,» stated Dr. Terry Taber, CTO, Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company, and Sr. Vice President of Advanced Materials & Chemicals.

«Corning® Willow® Glass brings together the benefit of glass substrate for electronic devices and the capability of low cost, high throughput roll-to-roll processing, enabling the production of this low cost perovskite PV product envisioned by EMC,» stated Dr. Dipak Chowdhury, Division Vice President, Corning Incorporated.

Dr. Stephan DeLuca, EMC’s CEO stated, «This milestone demonstrates the power of our rapid-pace manufacturing development model; the combination of materials and process knowledge of our exclusive joint development partners, Corning and Kodak, allows EMC to accelerate bringing high performance, low-cost perovskite modules to market.»

EMC’s work with high-speed, transparent conductor layer printing is partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO). SETO funds innovative cooperative research and development projects that drive down the cost of solar electricity and improve the performance of solar technologies that enhance grid reliability and security.

Lux Research Names Top 5 Technologies Disrupting the Chemicals and Materials Industry

BOSTON, Jan 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Trends like sustainability and digitalization are going to dramatically change the chemicals and materials industry over the next 20 years. Investing in technology innovations will be critical for companies to keep up. Lux Research, a leading provider of tech-enabled research and advisory services, has released its annual report, «Foresight 2021: Top Emerging Technologies to Watch.»

…

The new research identifies and ranks 12 key technologies that will reshape the world. The technologies are chosen based on innovation interest scores from the Lux Tech Signal, a composite measure assembled from a variety of innovation data sources, along with input from Lux’s experts. In addition to highlighting the 12 key overall technologies, for the first time ever, this year’s report ranks the top five technologies for the chemicals and materials industry.

«The impacts of climate change and digital transformation will be substantial – as the chemicals industry is forced to adapt to the circular economy, waste plastic will become the most valuable feedstock. This will create a more decentralized industry that relies increasingly on economies of multiples. At the same time, digital sales platforms will commoditize customization, eroding the difference between specialty and commodity businesses,» explains Anthony Schiavo, Senior Analyst at Lux Research.

The top five technologies chemicals and materials leaders should look to in 2021 are:

Plastic Waste Recycling: As concerns about plastic waste rise, billions of dollars are at risk. Advanced recycling tech is necessary to tackle this issue and creates opportunities for higher-value products.
Materials Informatics: Applying machine learning to materials development can not only improve R&D cost and efficiency but also help enable new business models and greater agility.
Digital Sales Platforms: E-commerce and sales automation are coming to chemicals, along with services around customization and product use.
3D Printing: 3D printing provides material firms unique growth opportunities – but firms need to be prepared to move down the value chain to capture their share of profits.
Synthetic Biology: Synbio can boost sustainability claims but also enable more flexible, distributed production of chemicals and, in the right cases, can enable new markets and lower costs.

«Each year, when we are preparing our annual report, our clients ask us, ‘Which of these are most important for my industry?'» Schiavo continues. «The most critical tech innovations are not the same for every sector. Some technologies that did not make the top of our overall list may be transformational for specific industries. That’s why we’ve expanded this year’s report to cover these additional technologies.»

KwikSweep Runs Full Rubbish Removal Services in London during Pandemic And Donates to Charity to Support Health Organisations and Families

LONDON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Coronavirus pandemic has caused a lot of disruption to individuals and businesses alike. The restrictions enforced by the UK government have meant that many services are delayed or even paused due to staff shortages, a lack of resources or reduced work hours.

Fortunately, multi-award-winning London Rubbish Removal Company KwikSweep continue to provide essential services like…

Fortunately, multi-award-winning London Rubbish Removal Company KwikSweep continue to provide essential services like waste removal for key businesses and organizations such as the NHS, local London Councils, property management companies and more. Their operations will continue fully with their commitment to help keep London clean and safe.

They are also still providing household waste clearance and old furniture removal services for homes throughout lockdowns because they understand that environmental health is critical at this challenging time.

Why Rubbish Removal Services are Vital During a Pandemic

Everyone knows what the government wants people to do to reduce the spread of the virus: wash your hands, keep your distance, stay at home. This inevitably means that more people will work from home, self-isolate and stay in, generating more household waste, which could also contain contagious tissues and other litter that could potentially spread the virus, if not removed professionally.

Many London residents have witnessed the strain local authorities are under currently with limited rubbish collections due to staff needing to self-isolate just being one of the many reduced community services. Overflowing bins containing contaminated rubbish could contribute to the spread of the virus inside the community through pests being infected for example.

How KwikSweep Helps Individuals, Families and Organisations during Lockdowns

KwikSweep can help with household waste collections carried out safely, following guidelines set out by the health department. They recommend putting all personal junk (such as tissues) into double-bagged bin bags. These should be sprayed with disinfectant and stored in a safe place away from areas where children or pests could encounter it for the following 72 hours before it can be collected by them.

When KwikSweep collect household or (home) office garbage, they recommend leaving it outside the property where possible, ensuring everyone’s safety. If their professional collectors need to enter a property, they keep their social distance of 2 meters while wearing masks and gloves and ask the client to remain in another room while they clear the rubbish.

KwikSweep want to ensure that any vulnerable person currently shielding or self-isolating can still keep their environment clean and safe to protect themselves and everyone else in their community. By that, they contribute to reducing infectious waste that could lead to more Covid-19 infections, which may have to be treated in London hospitals currently experiencing high levels of Coronavirus patient submissions.

KwikSweep’s Support Goes Beyond Rubbish Removal

This London Rubbish Removal Company wants to make a difference during a time where many families experience hardship through unemployment or illness-related financial issues. They are therefore committed to work with local traders, donating collected items that are still reusable and in good condition to local charities like Oxfam for books, kitchen wear, clothes, the British Heart Foundation for furniture and Traid for clothes as well as schools. Especially now that many children are home schooling, KwikSweep recognise the need for used digital devices to be donated where possible. It’s their way of giving something back to the London community they strongly care about.

They follow 3 Key Environmental Objectives to do so:

To reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill for greener living
To promote the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle)
To provide the best waste disposal service for their clients whilst managing litter and resources responsibly

KwikSweep recognises its responsibilities for compliance with a Duty of Care and will ensure that all waste collected is dealt with in a legal and responsible way. This effort has been recognised by the National Recycling Committee which awarded KwikSweep the National Recycling Award in 2017 for best communication and waste prevention.

To get in touch with this fully insured and environment agency licenced rubbish removal company and book a professional waste removal in London can contribute to fighting this pandemic. Everyone can play their part in reducing the spread of Coronavirus so that all Londoners can soon see the light at the end of the lockdown tunnel.
