Ji-Hwan Lee, Alumnus of AU, Successfully Invents the “Peel and Stick Solar Panel”
Writer 통합 관리자 Date 2013-03-26 Hit 137898
A research team including Ji-Hwan Lee, an alumnus of Ajou University who majored in Industrial Engineering, has invented a “peel-and-stick solar panel,” which can be used just about anywhere. The research on the solar panel was published in the December 20, 2012 issue of Scientific Reports, the sister journal of Nature.

 

Ji-Hwan Lee received his B.S. from College of Engineering at the University of Illinois through a double major program, and currently he is a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.

 

What Lee and his team have developed is a solar cell that can be easily stuck on various surfaces. The team found a way to utilize the standard semiconductor manufacturing process to produce their solar cell. They covered a silicon wafer substrate, which is used for semiconductor manufacturing, with a thin nickel layer. By using the characteristic chemical reaction nickel causes in the water, the team were successfully able to separate their solar cell panel from the silicon wafer substrate.

 

After applying adhesive, the separated panel can then be used like a sticker on almost any type of surface and on consumer products such as cellphones, glass, clothes.

 

Ji-Hwan Lee said “I was very proud and pleased to meet alumni of Ajou University at recent conferences,” and added “I wish to see more students of Ajou University moving forward onto the international stage by taking advantage of various international exchange programs, including the dual degree program.”
