Octillion Appoints Dr. Jeffrey R.S. Brownson to Advisory Board

OCTL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Octillion Corp., a provider of alternative and renewable energy technology incubator, announced the appointment of nanostructured photovoltaic and sustainable materials expert Dr. Jeffrey R. S. Brownson of the Penn State University to the Company's Advisory Board.

Dr. Brownson served most recently served the Cardinal Coated Glass Company, a provider of synthesis, characterization, and deposition of photovoltaic and photocatalytic nanomaterials, and provider of access to equipment and resources through the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, the Materials Research Institute, and the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment.

"Dr. Brownson brings an unusually complementary set of values, skills, and experiences to the Octillion team," said Nicholas S. Cucinelli, President and CEO of Octillion Corp. "His views on sustainability and 'environmental premeditation' in materials synthesis are entirely consistent with our efforts to use one of the most abundant materials in the Earth's crust-silicon-to produce a truly transparent photovoltaic window with a high net-energy ratio, excellent optical properties, and sound economics."

Before joining the faculty at The Pennsylvania State University in 2007, Dr. Brownson completed two Post-Doctoral programs: one with Cardinal Glass CG (Spring Green, WI), where he developed photocatalytic thin films on glass, synthesized nanostructured metal oxides for inorganic solar cell devices, and assembled and characterized quantum dot solar cell devices; and a second at the Institut de Chimie et Mat riaux de Paris-Est, CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Thiais, France where he synthesized metal chalcogenide and metal oxide/hydroxide thin films on transparent conductive electrodes, electrodeposited light-absorbing nanoparticles over mesoporous TiO2 thin films for inorganic-sensitized photovoltaic cells, and synthesized inorganic fullerines by ultrasonic spray thermolysis.
