DELTA

Working on technologies to solve the global energy crisis

Energy is the most important resource for humanity: it is well known that, as the energy consumption of a country increases, so does the quality of life of its inhabitants. How can we match our energy needs without increasing environmental burden? At DELTA, we strive to find a solution to such issues by focusing on both energy harvesting and storage. For this reason, our research encompasses innovative devices for solar energy harvesting called rectennas, which can theoretically surpass the efficiency of photovoltaics, and innovative batteries based on greener and more energy-dense materials.

By employing state-of-the-art equipment at IIT's Chemistry Facility and Clean Room Facility, we can combine techniques derived from chemistry and semiconductor processing, potentially enabling breakthroughs in both our competence areas.
