Abstract
|
This MURI project is aimed at designing a set of new energy- harvesting and storage materials (EHSM) and their integration of load-bearing airborne structures. The EHSM that were covered are, (i) organic solar cells based on two designs ,(a) dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and (b) solid state semi-conductor polymer based solar cells(SSSPS), (ii) thermoelectric materials and modules, (iii) piezoelectrics and (iv) electromagnetic generator. This MURI team is composed of several universities, University of Washington (UW) , University of Colorado(CU), UCLA, Virginia Tech(VT) and University of Illinois(UI) at UC. UW team covers energy-harvesting and storage materials, and their integration to structures and supportive electric system, CU covers mainly the hierarchical modeling of EHSM, VT covers the multi-mode energy- harvesting system, UCLA covers mainly the integration of EHSS into load-bearing structures. Finally UI covers the micro-characterization of integrated EHSM into structures.
