Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract/Objectives

This project aims to create a miniaturized and lightweight power supply system by combining materials engineering and thin-film technology to integrate solar cells and lithium batteries. The resulting autonomous solar-charging system is composed of space radiation-resistant, high-efficiency, light-weight thin-film solar cells for power generation, and high-safety, high-energy-density thin-film solid-state lithium batteries for energy storage. Each component or integrated system is designed to efficiently miniaturize each node of the Internet of Things (IoT) and meet the lightweight requirements of electric vehicles (EVs), while optimizing energy usage based on their respective needs.

Results/Contributions

This research integrates material science, green energy technology, and engineering to create an innovative solar-charging system. The project focuses on developing materials and energy devices that can generate and store power while meeting the rigorous demands of space radiation. Key areas of research and development include 1) High-efficiency and stable thin-film solar cells for power generation; 2) Solid-state lithium batteries with high safety standards and the ability to withstand high temperatures, which can be realized in thin-film batteries to increase energy density; and 3) Integration of power generation and energy storage components into a solar-charging system. By subjecting these components to rigorous testing and inspection, the resulting integrated systems will be able to meet the needs of intelligent construction, clean energy transportation, the IoT, and EVs, as well as the rapidly expanding space industry.
