Introduction:
In an industrial park on the shores of Lake Erie in the United States, the future of the solar industry is showing its face. The legendary entrepreneur Elon Musk's company, Solar City, is planning a construction of a Buffalo plant that is nearing completion. This will produce the most efficient solar panel products that can be purchased on the world's commercial market. According to the design, this plant can produce 10,000 solar panels per day, and the annual output is equivalent to 1 billion watts of power generation, making it the largest solar panel factory in North America. It is one of the best in the world and the total project cost will reach About 750 million U.S. dollars.
A polycrystalline novel silicate material obtained by crystallizing glass under the action of a catalyst or a nucleating agent, is a dense, nonporous, homogeneous mixture of a crystalline phase and a residual glass phase. Generally, the size of the crystal can range from nanometer to micrometer, and the number of crystals can reach 50% to 90%. Has high mechanical strength, low electrical conductivity, high dielectric constant, good machinability, chemical resistance, thermal stability and so on. These properties depend on the type and amount of crystals, as well as the composition and properties of the remaining glass phase, and are closely related to the crystallization conditions and the like. According to different nucleation or crystallization treatment, it is divided into photosensitive and heat-sensitive glass-ceramics. Can be used to make circuit boards, charge storage tubes, screens for photomultiplier tubes, missile warheads, radomes, bearings, pumps, reactor neutron absorbing materials, insulating pillars, etc.
