Dye-sensitised solar cells can be improved by a new dye formulation, according to researchers at Swiss institution EPFL, where such cells were invented by Brian O’Regan and Michael Grätzel  in 1991. Dan Zhang and Marko Stojanovic in Grätzel’s have developed a dye (combining a carrier donor and acceptor) called MS5 that can increase open circuit voltage to 1.24V when used ...

Easby Electronics  now offers lithium batteries from Chinese lithium battery specialist, EVE Energy. The distributor has added EVE lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) primary cells to its product range. The LiSOCl₂ batteries provide high-energy density with 3.6Vdc in a small package. They are available in a range of sizes from ½AA to DD-size cells, and in prismatic, coin and cylindrical configurations. ...

Overcurrents aren’t the only threat to modern electronics, writes The SCHURTER Group. Excessively high temperatures are increasingly becoming the number one enemy due to high power density. But how can such a danger be avoided? It makes sense to use thermal fuses. Or even better: thermal fuses with that certain extra. A characteristic of modern electronics is their enormously high power ...
