"Differenrichment"
He llo Eve ryone !
The transition towards a sustainable e ne rgy supply syste m is a m ulti-disciplinary challe nge . Policy m ak e rs, e ngine e rs, e ntre pre ne urs,
scie ntists, re gulators and citize ns, all the se playe rs and m ore are work ing toge the r on it. The y do this be cause the y are inte rde pe nde nt, but
also be cause the y can e nrich e ach othe r by com bining the ir spe cialitie s into cre ative and innovative solutions.
This ye ar's e dition of the All Ene rgy Day will focus on the e ne rgy transition. W ith scie ntists, busine ss m an, politiciancs and e ntre pre ne urs the
spe ak e rs and de bate rs cle arly form a dive rse group. Also m ulti-disciplinarity will be pre se nt through the 500 visitors, who com e from a ve riaty
of unive rsitie s in the Ne the rlands and who all have diffe re nt study program s, pe rsonalitie s, opinions and ide a's about what would be the ide al
future .
Through this introductionary note of this ne wsle tte r I would lik e to invite all who will be pre se nt on 14th of March at the All Ene rgy Day, buth
also those who are involve d in the e ne rgy transition in anothe r way, to contribute to the richne ss of the e ve nt by be ing diffe re nt. Le t your own
be lie fs and spe cialtie s flourish and be inspire d by what othe r pe ople bring. Le t the re be "diffe re nrichm e nt"!

Organize a debate with EU representatives
W ould you lik e to organize a de bate in which stude nts discuss with politacians about the future of our e ne rgy supply?
Against the back ground of Europe an Parliam e nt e le ctions the Ene rgy C lub organize s a de bate be twe e n stude nts and the Dutch
re spre se ntative s of Ene rgy in the EU. For this e ve nt we are look ing for e nthousiastic stude nts who would lik e to organize this toge the r with us.
Are you inte re ste d? Nice ! Se nd an e m ail with your C V and a short m otivation to e x te rn@e ne rgyclub.nl be fore the 15th of March.

TU Delft achieves maximum light trapping in solar cells
Researchers at TU Delft have opened the way for the realization of the next generation of high-efficiency, cost-effective and ultra-thin
crystalline silicon solar cells. They are the first in the world to come very close (99.8%) to the theoretical limit of absorption enhancement
(light trapping) in a broad light spectrum range. Their article on light management in ultra-thin silicon is accepted for publication in the
journal A CS Photonics.
PhD-stude nt Andre a Inge nito of the Photovoltaic Mate rials and De vice s (PVMD) group at TU De lft has e x pe rim e ntally de m onstrate d the
the ore tical lim it of the e nhance m e nt of light absorption in a thin se m iconductor m ate rial. Inge nito use d wafe rs of crystalline silicon and
e x pe rim e ntally prove d the the ore tical pre diction of the m ax im al e nhance m e nt of light absorption in a se m iconductor m ate rial. He is the first in
the world to com e ve ry close (99.8%) to the the ore tical lim it of absorption e nhance m e nt in a broad light spe ctrum range . An e x pe rim e ntal
de m onstration of this absorption e nhance m e nt lim it in solar ce lls has be e n e lusive for the last thirty ye ars.
The PVMD group at TU De lft (Faculty of EEMC S) has world-le ading e x pe rtise in the de sign, fabrication, and im ple m e ntation of light trapping
structure s in the solar ce lls. The re se arche rs in the group m anage d to de ve lop an advance d m e tal-fre e light trapping sche m e for crystalline
silicon wafe rs. At the front side of the silicon wafe rs the y applie d a nano-te x ture k nown as black -silicon. At the re ar side , the y im ple m e nte d a
random pyram idal te x ture coate d with a photonic Die le ctric Back R e fle ctor which was de signe d to e x hibit m ax im al and om ni-dire ctional inte rnal
re fle ctance . For wafe rs thinne r than 35 μm the re se arche rs achie ve d m ore than 99% (with the photonic re fle ctor) and up to 99.8% (with the
silve r back re fle ctor) of the the ore tical classical absorption lim it in the broad light spe ctrum from 400 to 1200 nm .
Succe ssful im ple m e ntation of TU De lft’s light trapping sche m e in crystalline silicon solar ce lls re quire s an ade quate surface passivation of the
front nano-te x ture . For this purpose , the re se arche rs at the PVMD group have de ve lope d the rm al silicon ox ide and alum inium ox ide
passivation laye rs. TU De lft's trapping sche m e toge the r with e x ce lle nt surface passivation ope ns the way for the re alization of the ne x t
ge ne ration of high-e fficie ncy, cost-e ffe ctive and ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar ce lls.
Inge nito’s article in ACS Photonics was co-authore d by supe rvisors prof. dr. Miro Ze m an and dr. O lindo Isabe lla. The re se arch was carrie d out in
the AdLight proje ct (Advance d light trapping for thin and highly e fficie nt silicon solar ce lls) funde d by Age ntschap NL. Solland and EC N have
be e n the partne rs in the proje ct.
