Ajou's professors develop flexible and highly efficient solar cells [16.08.23]A team of Professor Jae Jin Lee and Professor Joon Seok Heo from Ajou University (both in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) succeeded in developing ultra-light and highly efficient solar cells based on GaAs. The team used the Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) technology in developing high-grade solar cell wafers and a new combination of p-type electrode structure, etc.Their research findings were included in The Scientific Reports published in late July by Nature. According to the team, the thin film-type solar cell it developed is easier to commercialize for unmanned aircrafts and hand-held electronic devices, etc. thanks to high efficiency, flexibility, and lightness.There have been active research activities involving inorganic materials, because flexible solar cells commonly made from organic materials are priced lower, but not efficient enough. The research team addressed the issue by using GaAs, a representative inorganic material and preferred in reliability and energy conversion efficiency, etc. The newly developed solar cell adopts a relatively simple Epitaxial Lift-off (ELO) process utilizing the stress of metal deposed on flexible boards and has a highly efficient n-on-p structure. The ELO process, a common way of making GaAs-based flexible solar cells, deposes semi-conductor elements onto a flexible board by separating them in the shape of thin films after the elements are formed on a hard board.A technical challenge regarding the flexible n-on-p structure solar cell is that its p-type electrode is melted down by etching solution such as hydrofluoric acid during the relevant process. The research team made a breakthrough by developing and adopting the p-type electrode that is not dissolved by etching solution and has low resistance.The team then made flexible GaAs-based solar cells by applying the newly developed p-type electrode to epi wafer – a process of adding semi-conductor properties to a GaAs-based board – after it is formed on MOCVD. The new cell has a global level of energy conversion efficiency with 22.08 percent and is strong in flexibility and lightness. The hard board used in the process can be recycled, which can dramatically reduce the manufacturing costs. Seong Hyeon Moon (doctoral course of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) participated in the related paper as the first author and the research was conducted with the support of the Energy Technology Development Project carried out by the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning, the Priority Research Institutes Project carried out by the Ministry of Education, and the General Researcher Support Project (new research) carried out by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning.< A photo of the GaAs-based solar cell developed by Ajou's research team.

The first committee meeting is held to discuss Ajou University Library remodeling[16.08.19]The first meeting of the Central Library Remodeling Committee was held on the morning of August 18th in the Theater on the ground floor of the Ajou University Central Library.The meeting was attended by President Dong Yeon Kim, Library Remodeling Committee Chairman and Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, deans of colleges, and relevant vice presidents. Also in attendance were President Gyeong Jin Lee from the General Student Council, Yong Won Park from the General Alumni Association, Chairman Won Gyu Cho from the Alumni Association of the Department of Architecture, Chairman Jeong Man Cho from the Alumni Association of the Graduate School of Public Affairs, and relevant staff members from the University. The Committee members are deans of colleges, Vice President for Planning, Vice President for Student Affairs, Vice President for Administration, the president and vice president of the Student Council who represent students, and six officials from the General Alumni Association.The meeting kicked off with an introduction of the Library remodeling project by Vice President for Planning Jung Seob Lee, followed by a presentation of the remodeling plan by Central Library Executive Director Dong Woo Shin (professor in the Department of Architecture) and discussion among the participants.Last year, the University established its development plan – Ajou's Great Turning – and has since been pursuing improvements to the campus environment. In a survey of 1,000 students, the Central Library topped the ranking of facilities that should be renovated first. In June and July, the University conducted a study on remodeling the Library and presented the findings to the Committee on the day.There have been steady demands for renovating the Library because its buildings and facilities have deteriorated since its construction in 1983. The Committee plans to redesign the Library, reflecting student demands and requirements prior to beginning the remodeling during the winter vacation.President Kim said, "I expect that the remodeled Library will become a popular place among Ajou people."He went on to say, "It should also be an opportunity to establish the functions and roles of the Library in line with ongoing changes," adding, "I ask that the Committee produces the best possible results, though there will be many things to consider including the budget."
