Abstract: The present invention relates to photovoltaic lined optical cavity for a robust power generating apparatus consisting of said cavities and manufacturing methods for said cavities. The photovoltaic lined optical cavity comprises of an optical core, a base substrate, photovoltaic layers lining the optical core, and optical elements. The photovoltaic lined optical cavity is optimized for the light capture of solar radiation and sufficient integrity against mechanical loads.

Abstract: The hydrogen storage product comprises one or more reduced-graphene oxide layers functionalized with a boron species and decorated with an alkali or alkaline earth metal. Each layer of the structure further comprises boron-oxygen functional groups comprising oxygen atoms bonded to boron atoms. The hydrogen storage product has a composition suitable for physisorption of hydrogen molecule, and operates to reversibly store hydrogen under operating conditions of low pressure and ambient temperature.

Abstract: There are provided three-dimensional photovoltaic structures and a power optimizer for a photovoltaic power generation apparatus. The photovoltaic structure may include two or more photovoltaic material face sets including one or more photovoltaic material faces with at least in part in different orientations to each other. In embodiments, each photovoltaic material face may be operatively coupled to power optimizer, for example maximum power point tracking (MPPT) electronics, enabling independent power optimization of the power output of each face.
