20th International Metrology Congress CIM2021, Lyon France (7 – 9 Sept 2021) and also online
Workshop on Thursday, 9 September 2021, 11:30 – 13:00 CEST
A stakeholder workshop for EMPIR project High throughput metrology for nanowire energy harvesting devices (19ENG05, NanoWires) will be held at the 20th International Metrology Congress, CIM2021.
Energy harvesting from renewable sources (such as solar, heat and movement) is a prominent solution to create small amounts of electrical energy in areas of difficult access. As such, energy harvesting devices have much potential to address our world energy problems. Nanowire based energy harvesting systems have achieved encouraging progress in this area, but due to the nanometre dimensions of the wires and large size (m2) of the devices, they also bring challenges for testing and characterisation.
While the average properties of energy harvesting devices can be measured, it is still difficult to determine a quantitative link and correlation between the performance of single nanowires and that of the overall device. This EMPIR project aims to develop reliable and high throughput metrology for the quality control of nanowire harvesting systems.
