Performance loss from ultraviolet (UV) light has become a concern for new PV cells, though earlier lab tests may have overstated the issue. Paul Gebhardt, photovoltaic module reliability scientist at ...

The photocatalytic activity of hydrogenated TiO₂ was evaluated in the photooxidation of methyl orange (MO). The hydrogenation of TiO₂ was carried out by calcination of a mixture of TiO₂ P-25 and NaBH₄ ...

Can you give some background on recent industry concerns around ultraviolet-induced degradation in PV modules? For around two and a half years, we have been involved in several projects where larger ...

Almost 50% of failures of engineering plastics result from environmental degradation. The increasing utilisation of plastics in more exacting applications and the pressure for increased life, without ...

While the plastics industry searches for solutions to the problem of plastics waste, there is, surprisingly, a growing band of people trying to save plastics. The classic nightmare that we will all ...

The intent of an accelerated aging protocol is to predict and subsequently verify real-time aging behavior of a product and packaging system. A robust study is built on the foundation of prerequisite ...
