Abstract:

This MURI project is aimed at designing a set of new energy-harvesting and storage materials EHSM and their integration of load-bearing airborne structures. The EHSM that were covered are, i organic solar cells based on two designs ,a dye-sensitized solar cells DSSC and b solid state semi-conductor polymer based solar cellsSSSPS, ii thermoelectric materials and modules, iii piezoelectrics and iv electromagnetic generator. This MURI team is composed of several universities, University of Washington UW , University of ColoradoCU, UCLA, Virginia TechVT and University of IllinoisUI at UC. UW team covers energy-harvesting and storage materials, and their integration to structures and supportive electric system, CU covers mainly the hierarchical modeling of EHSM, VT covers the multi-mode energy-harvesting system, UCLA covers mainly the integration of EHSS into load-bearing structures. Finally UI covers the micro-characterization of integrated EHSM into structures.
