Next GenerAtion MateriAls and Solid State DevicEs for Ultra High Temperature Energy Storage and Conversion (AMADEUS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
This project will investigate the next generation of materials and devices for latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) at ultra-high temperatures of up to 2000ºC, which are well beyond today's maximum operation temperatures of ~1000ºC. We will synthetize new phase change materials (PCMs) with latent heat in the range of 2-4 MJ/kg (an order of magnitude greater than that of typical salt-based PC ...

Development of Ultra Soft Copper Conductors for Crystalline Silicon Solar Photovoltaic Applications (SolarSoft)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
In the relentless drive for cost-competitive Renewable Energies, progressive reductions in the cost of manufacture of Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic cells are being compromised by damage caused to the cells by the thermal strain at the interface between the increasingly thinner silicon wafers used and the soldered copper conductor. The SolarSoft project aims to solve this problem by developing a ...

Development of light-weight steel castings for efficient aircraft engines (LEAN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"The aim of the proposed project is to develop castable steel alloys for aero engine applications and to refine the process to be able to cast thin-walled, light-weight and durable cast steel components. Today, cast titanium components is the predominant choice over alternatives like nickel base alloys and stainless steels for critical components in the aero engine. The main downside of using cast ...
