“…Additionally, after the grain boundaries were corroded and cutting damage was eliminated, the rupture strength of the polycrystalline silicon increased from 120.5 MPa to 491.8 MPa [76]. Celotti et al [77] investigated the mechanical properties of ceramic mullite substrates produced by dry pressing in low-cost solar cells.…”

“…After comparing them with solar cells fabricated by complex processes, they found that such substrates could exhibit a large elastic deformation. The elastic modulus was approximately 70-90 GPa, as measured by the resonance method, and the tensile strength was 35-70 MPa, as tested by the three-point bending test [77].…”

The energy crisis and environmental pollution have promoted the rapid development of renewable solar technology. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is an important field for the future development of solar energy. This review presents the mechanical property studies of existing BIPV and analyzes its research status to offer advice for engineering applications. By analyzing the types and mechanical characteristics of solar cells in the existing BIPV and determining the load conditions that need to be considered in different application modes, this paper summarizes the relevant existing studies at the photovoltaic material, cell and component levels and offers corresponding suggestions for mechanical research, which consequently results in the proposal of a new BIPV structure. Since the mechanical properties of BIPV have seldom been studied, and research on practical engineering applications is lacking, further comprehensive and in-depth research is needed to promote the safe and reliable application and popularization of photovoltaic building integration.

“…In addition, the ability to operate at high temperature and in corrosive environments, allows mullite to be used in a variety of composites [5], as well as in advanced structural and functional ceramics [6]. Nevertheless, mullite is rarely in nature, as it requires high temperatures and low pressures [7].…”

Study of the Synthesis of Mullite From Kaolin-α-Al₂O₃ and Kaolin-Al(NO₃)₃

et al. 2012

The synthesis of mullite from kaolin clay and two precursors of aluminum: -Al 2 O 3 and Al(NO 3 ) 3 was investigated. In order to study the temperature effect, the system kaolin--Al 2 O 3 was calcined in air in a range of 1200 to 1500°C, for 2 h. For the system kaolin-Al(NO 3 ) 3 , the combustion method was employed, using urea as fuel, and calcined in air at 1500°C for 2 h. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy and particle size analysis in order to analyze and compare their morphology and structure. The crystallographic study revealed an incomplete reaction between the kaolin and the -Al 2 O 3 . Nevertheless, in the system kaolin-Al(NO 3 ) 3 , it was obtained mullite with high purity and trace amounts of cristobalite.
