Perovskite Solar Cells Fabricated Via Scalable Dip Coating Methods, Joseph F. Iannello
Perovskite Solar Cells Fabricated Via Scalable Dip Coating Methods, Joseph F. Iannello
Theses and Dissertations
Perovskite solar cells present the possibility for less expensive electricity generation, through the use of low cost materials and fabrication methods relative to current silicon-based technology. Many current methods of fabricating thin film perovskite solar cells focus on spin-coating, which inherently lacks scalability due to particle conglomeration, poor uniformity over a larger area, and safety concerns. Dip-coating, an alternative to spin-coating, which is explored here addresses these issues which limit scalability. Each individual layer can be separately synthesized, deposited, and characterized, which leads towards scalability. Choosing only the best results from each independent layer allowed progress to the creation of …
Analysis Of Dynamic Mode Decomposition, Archana Muniraju
Analysis Of Dynamic Mode Decomposition, Archana Muniraju
Theses and Dissertations
In this master thesis, a study was conducted on a method known as Dynamic mode decomposition(DMD), an equation-free technique which does not require to know the underlying governing equations of the complex data. As a result of massive datasets from various resources, like experiments, simulation, historical records, etc. has led to an increasing demand for an efficient method for data mining and analysis techniques. The main goals of data mining are the description and prediction. Description involves finding patterns in the data and prediction involves predicting the system dynamics. An important aspect when analyzing an algorithm is testing. In this …
