General description

Selenium is a non-metallic p-type semiconductor and is commercially produced as a by-product in refining sulfide-bearing copper minerals. It has good photovoltaic and photoconductive properties and is extensively used in the electronics such as solar cells, light meters, and, photocells. It also finds application in the field of ceramics, pigments, metallurgy, agriculture, glasses, and lubricants.

Application

Selenium has been used as a starting material tosynthesize selenium nanoparticles.

Lanthanide Ions as Photon Managers for Solar Cells

Spectral conversion for solar cells is an emerging concept in the field of photovoltaics, and it has the potential to increase significantly the efficiency of solar cells. Lanthanide ions are ideal candidates for spectral conversion, due to their high luminescence efficiencies and rich energy level structure that allows for great flexibility in the upconversion and downconversion of photons in a wide spectral region (NIR-VIS-UV).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
