| Zusammenfassung: | Solar energy is an important renewable source and, beyond building, molybdenum provides several advantages as a component of the back electrode in new thin-film photovoltaic panels, including withstanding process temperatures up to 650 degree C and resisting associated high-temperature corrosion. Molybdenum is also being used in hydroelectric installations to create thinner-walled, stronger penstocks (large-diameter pipes connecting the dam to the turbine house), enabling higher water pressure to the turbines. |
