Sommeling, P.M. (author), Liu, J. (author), Kroon, J.M. (author)This study addresses the influence of different encapsulation materials on performance losses in bifacial PV modules after extended damp heat testing. The widely used ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is compared to polyolefin elastomers (POE) and thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO). We show that modules based on n-type bifacial solar cells (tunnel oxide...article 2023

(author)After World War II, large amounts of ammunition were dumped in surface waters worldwide, potentially releasing harmful and toxic compounds to the environment. To study their degradation, ammunition items dumped in the Eastern Scheldt in The Netherlands were surfaced. Severe damage due to corrosion and leak paths through the casings were observed...article 2023

(author), Iliopoulos, E. (author)Electronic transport in transition metal spinel oxides is associated with small polaron hopping, either nearest-neighbor, resulting in Arrhenius activated conductivity, or variable energy, leading to a sub-Arrhenius relationship, with the conductivity logarithm being a convex function of inverse temperature. For the case of manganese spinel...article 2022
