    Numerical analysis of non-uniform Cu(In, Ga)Se2 growth in a selenization process on large-area substrates for mass production

    Growth of a Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) layer during a selenization process is numerically studied to understand mechanisms for formation of stains on large-area substrates batched. CIGS layers need to be uniformly deposited onto the substrates to obtain even conversion efficiency. However, it is difficult to control growth of large-area CIGS layers due to turbulent thermal-fluid flow leaving stains on the substrates. In the present research, the selenization process for an industrial-scale substrates of which sizes are order of square-meters is considered with integrated simulations of detailed key physical processes such turbulent convection, convective-radiative-conductive heat transfer, and chemical reactions. Ascending or descending gas generated by heaters is identified by the time-averaged velocity fields. Descending flow in the passages between substrates produces uneven flow rates across the substrates leading to inhomogeneous supply of heat energy and gas species to the surface chemical reactions. The uneven temperature distribution is the major cause for the stain formation on the substrates. Gross shapes of the stains are found to be well matched with the predicted velocity contour of gas flow above the substrate. The stains are expected to be alleviated by rectifying gas flow such that flow rates become uniform across substrates before entering the passages.11Nsciescopu

    A numbering-up metal microreactor for the high-throughput production of a commercial drug by copper catalysis

    Microreactors are emerging as an efficient, sustainable synthetic tool compared to conventional batch reactors. Here, we present a new numbering-up metal microreactor by integrating a flow distributor and a copper catalytic module for high productivity of a commercial synthetic drug. A flow distributor and an embedded baffle disc were manufactured by CNC machining and 3D printing of stainless steel (S/S), respectively, whereas a catalytic reaction module was composed of 25 copper coiled capillaries configured in parallel. Eventually, the numbering-up microreactor system assembled with functional modules showed uniform flow distribution and high mixing efficiency regardless of clogging, and achieved high-throughput synthesis of the drug "rufinamide", an anticonvulsant medicine, via a Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction under optimized conditions.11Nsciescopu

    Intractability of Optimal Multi-Robot Path Planning on Planar Graphs

    No full text
    We study the computational complexity of optimally solving multi-robot path planning problems on planar graphs. For four common time- and distance-based objectives, we show that the associated path optimization problems for multiple robots are all NP-complete, even when the underlying graph is planar. Establishing the computational intractability of optimal multi-robot path planning problems on planar graphs has important practical implications. In particular, our result suggests the preferred approach toward solving such problems, when the number of robots is large, is to augment the planar environment to reduce the sharing of paths among robots traveling in opposite directions on those paths. Indeed, such efficiency boosting structures, such as highways and elevated intersections, are ubiquitous in robotics and transportation applications.Peer reviewe
