Sol gel Capacitor Dielectric Offers Record high Energy Storage

Sol-gel Capacitor Dielectric Offers Record-high Energy Storage

Electronics News Updates / By

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage capacity rivaling certain batteries, with both a high energy density and high power density. If the material can be scaled up from laboratory samples, devices made from […]

See-through solar concentrator harvests energy from sunlight

Electronics News Updates / By

A team of Michigan State University (MSU) researchers has created a transparent solar concentrator able to turn any window (or other sheet of glass, such as the screen for a smartphone) into a photovoltaic solar cell. What makes this development different? The panel is truly transparent. Earlier attempts at building transparent solar cells resulted in

Specialized ICs, PV Cells Enable Energy Harvesting from Indoor Lighting

Electronics News Updates / By

Indoor lighting offers a convenient energy source for many applications but lacks the high-power levels of solar energy. In fact, indoor lighting energy-harvesting systems face a number of challenges that differ subtlety from those encountered in solar-energy harvesting. Nevertheless, engineers can quickly implement energy-harvesting designs using a variety of components and specialized devices from manufacturers

Power (Energy) Meter using Arduino

Metering – Instrument Projects, Projects / By

Part 1.  Analog Front-End. Opto-Isolator. Looking at the Power Quality Analyzer display, I was wandering, if there is any error in the measurement results, introduced by transformer. Overall THD picture doesn’t change much, suspiciously drawing same chart in the morning and in the evening, when electrical grid load significantly differs. Obviously, to estimate effect of
