View full-size image

Alfa Aesar has published a new High Purity Materials for Photovoltaics brochure that highlights Alfa Aesar’s offering of chemicals and metals for use in the photovoltaic industry.

Photovoltaic substances are used in the creation of solar cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity. The long-term goal of photovoltaic (PV) devices has been to reduce our dependency on fossil fuel generated electricity. The main benefits of PV’s are reliable operating systems, low operating costs, virtually zero environmental impact, and modular design.

The 8-page brochure lists over 150 products used in development of a variety of solar cells including crystalline silicon, CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) and CdTe (cadmium telluride). Products listed include both compounds and pure metals in a variety of forms, purities and quantities. Additional specialized compounds and metals can be found at www.alfa.com.
