  • Publication number: 20250248168
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a back contact solar cell and a method for manufacturing a back contact solar cell. In one example, a back contact solar cell includes a silicon substrate having first regions and second regions alternately distributed on a back surface of the silicon substrate, and a first doped semiconductor layer formed on a first region on the back surface of the silicon substrate. A groove structure concaving inward the silicon substrate relative to a surface of the first region is formed on a second region. An end portion of the first doped semiconductor layer adjacent to the second region is arranged in a suspended manner.

  • Publication number: 20250248132
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides back-contact solar cells, and methods for manufacturing back-contact solar cells. In one aspect, a back-contact cell comprising a silicon substrate, a first doped semiconductor layer on a back surface of the silicon substrate in first regions, and a second doped semiconductor layer on the back surface of the silicon substrate in second regions. The first regions and the second regions are alternately distributed at intervals. The back surface of the silicon substrate comprises an isolation region between a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. A surface of the isolation region is recessed into the silicon substrate. A depth by which the surface of the isolation region is recessed into the silicon substrate relative to the surface of the at least one of the first regions is less than 3000 nm.

  • Patent number: 12370998
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technologies, and specifically, to a vehicle control method and system, a vehicle, a control apparatus, a vehicle-mounted device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The disclosure aims to solve the following technical problem: Since a distinction between understeering and oversteering conditions is not taken into consideration when increasing the engine torque, there is still room for improvement in a formulated engine torque increasing strategy. For this purpose, the disclosure provides a vehicle control method and system, a vehicle, a control apparatus, a vehicle-mounted device, and a computer-readable storage medium, where the control method includes: when an abnormal state occurs in a vehicle in a steering condition, determining whether the current abnormal state is understeering or oversteering; and adjusting torque of the vehicle based on a determining result and a torque amount adjustment mechanism predetermined for the current abnormal state.

  • Patent number: 12148846
    Abstract: A solar cell and a manufacturing method of the solar cell are provided. The solar cell includes a silicon substrate, the silicon substrate is deposited with a plurality of fine-grids, the plurality of fine-grids have ohmic contact with the silicon substrate; a plurality of main-grids are disposed on the silicon substrate; the plurality of main-grids intersect and electrically contact with the plurality of fine-grids; at least a part of the plurality of main-grids is formed by sintering an electrode slurry. The plurality of fine-grids and the plurality of main-grids are formed by a combination of a high temperature metallization (sintering) and a low temperature metallization (depositing), to overcome a high cost by using screen printing of silver slurry, in addition, due to the plurality of fine-grids having ohmic contact with the silicon substrate, the solar cell has advantages of small contact resistance and high current collection efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11535876
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of genetic engineering, especially relates to a xylose-induced genetically engineered bacteria used for producing ectoine as well as a construction method and use thereof. The genetically engineered bacteria is constructed by heterologously expressing the ectABC gene cluster from Halomonas elongata on the E. coli chromosome, using the promoter of xylose transporter coding gene xylF to control the RNA polymerase from T7 bacteriophage, reconstructing a synthesis pathway of ectoine and constructing a plasmid-free system, and enhancing the expression of target genes by a strong promoter T7; the yield of ectoine reached 12-16 g/L after 20-28 h fermentation in shake flask, and reached 35-50 g/L after 24-40 h fermentation in a 5 L fermentor.
