My research work was concentrated on modifications of photo anodes using different semiconducting materials and nano structures for DSSC’s (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells)by microwave assisted solvothermal Synthesis. My research trip thrice to Bergen, Norway under INCP/UTFORSK student mobility program between Coimbatore institute of technology, Coimbatore, India and Western Norway university of Applied Sciences, Bergen, Norway, was a very pleasant, beautiful and such a knowledge gaining research experience travel. Also these CZTS thin film as a new photo cathode material replacing expensive platinum counter electrode in DSSC were also exploited. The fabricated solar cells exhibited good characteristics and the obtained efficiencies were encouraging. CZTS offers favorable optical and electronic properties similar to CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) making it well suited for use as a thin-film solar cell absorber layer, but unlike CIGS (or other thin films such as CdTe), CZTS is composed of only abundant and non-toxic elements.A new type of Inverted CZTS device structure ITO/AZO/ZnO/CdS/CZTS/C was fabricated. It was a great opportunity and good experience in working with researchers in overseas laboratories and learnt a lot about myself in the process.These research visitsalso gave me an exposure to the advanced tools used for synthesis, processing and characterization of nanocrystalline materials.ĭuring this trip, I carried out my work on Cu2ZnSnS4 thin film nanostructures such as sphere, cubes and rods synthesized using sol gel technique were obtained by tuning the synthesis process.Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is a quaternary semiconducting compound which has received increasing interest since the late 2000’s for applications in solar cells. Our dedicated marketing associates are in Chennai, Trichy and other areas.I enjoyed every aspect of my exchange program to Bergen university college, Bergen, Norway (now Western Norway University of Applied Sciences) under INCP mobility program. This gave more strength and confidence to go for an exclusive brand. Through Thamizh Ceramics, more than 50000 sq ft of cool roof tiles have been sold out including 3000 sq ft to a builder in Chenglepet. Our sister concern Thamizh Ceramics at Jayankondam, Ariyalur district, Tamil Nadu has been selling high-quality ceramic cool roof tiles since 2004. Thus new generation terrace floor tiles are now designed by us are adaptable to various temperatures and provide good sustainability in a long run. The concept of cool roof tile was conceived from many angles and finally decided to outsource in ABC brand. These moisture-resistant Ceramic tiles are conducive in adapting itself in any hot burning climatic conditions in the open terrace.
Expertising in selling weather proof tiles, also manufacturing Rooftop - cool roof tiles best suiting for the new terrace & old terrace that are heat resistant. Finally started an own tiles showroom helped many dealers and mfrs for the trading of ceramic tiles. Worked as a technical consultant in the field of Frit making and Tiles mfg. Worked in various ceramic industries since 1983 in India, abroad and finally settled in Morbi, Gujarat from 2002 onwards.
