Abstract: A method of forming PV layers in which, during the curing process, an additional reaction accelerates and improves curing. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, a double layer sequence having a plastic matrix in which continuous metal particles and, in the upper layer, alkaline-solubilised siloxane portions and metal particles are provided, allows, by means of combined definitive curing during the alkaline-solubilisation, the production of a PV layer sequence with which industrial waste heat/long-wave IR radiation can be utilised photovoltaically. The active exploitation of industrial waste heat/heat/body heat offers clear, financially-viable advantages in a great number of fields.

Abstract: PV layer sequences and corresponding production methods which can reliably provide a PV function with a long service life despite very low production costs. This is achieved by a reactive conditioning process of inorganic particles as part of a room-temperature printing method; the reactive surface conditioning process adjusts the PV activity in a precise manner, provides a kinetically controlled reaction product, and can ensure the desired PV activity even when using technically pure starting materials with 97% purity. In concrete embodiments, particles are printed in composite so as to form sub-sections on a support. Each sub-section has a reductively treated section and an oxidatively treated section, and the sections have PV activity with opposite signs. The sections can be cascaded in rows via upper-face contacts, and a precise light-dependent potential sum can be tapped via a PV measuring group.

Abstract: The invention provides a suitable method and an appropriate, PV film structure. This aim is achieved by a room temperature method in which aqueous dispersions are printed onto a substrate and cured by an accompanying reaction. The accompanying reaction forms gradients and also nanoscale structures at the film boundaries, which produce a PV active film having standard performance and a higher stability. At around 10% efficiency, stability and no initial loss in performance in the climatic chamber test can be obtained and over a 20 year test period, consistently less fluctuation can be achieved. The method is free from tempering or sintering steps, enables the use of technically pure, advantageous starting materials and makes the PV film structure available as a finished, highly flexible cell for a fraction of the typical investment in production or distribution.

Abstract: The present method for the first time proposes a method for producing an electrotechnical thin layer which makes it possible to carry out process control at room temperature by using an additional reagent, thereby providing stable, thin layers in a very short time. Capacitive accumulators that could replace a Li-ion battery in a tablet PC and more far-reaching applications are thus possible even for cases of gross, industrial process control.

Abstract: Electrotechnical thin layers usable as heating resistance and/or substrate for conductor layers are produced at high cost and extremely slowly in the established methods. Industrial-scale methods that provide sufficient speed at room temperature are not available. This problem is solved by a room temperature printing process, wherein a redox-reactively deposited, graphite-containing base layer printed at room temperature is obtained, onto which a metal, by redox reaction during print, forms a metal layer in the micrometer scale within minutes to a few seconds in a corresponding manner. The double layer thus obtainable in one printing process is highly flexible, allows soldering to copper layers, and can be used particularly advantageously as a thin-layer heater.

Abstract: Electrotechnical thin layers which can be used as a heating resistor and/or substrate for conductive layers are produced, in established methods, at high prices and extremely slowly. This problem is solved by virtue of a redox-reactively-deposited base layer which contains graphite, is formed at room temperature and on which, in the same sense, a metal forms a micrometer-scale metal layer within minutes to a few seconds by means of a redox reaction, at room temperature and during the definitive curing process. The double layer made available in this manner is highly flexible, allows soldering on copper layers, and can be used particularly advantageously as a thin-layer heating system.
