- This paper presents world’s first cost-effective, Pb-free and ultrasonic-soldering free high temperature hermetic edge seal, named as a fusion edge-seal, with the successful construction of fusion edge-sealed vacuum glazing. Novel concept of glass-metallic textured layer for hermetic fusion edge-sealed vacuum glazing invented when Sn62-B2O338 wt% fused with Sn90-In10 wt% alloy achieved cavity vacuum pressure of 8.2·10-4 Pa. It is the result of interdisciplinary UK collaboration funded by EPSRC (Grant#: EP/G000387/1). It led to provisional patent (#62942164, UK) and invited speakership of first-author at World Renewable Energy Congress (WREC) 2021, Portugal.
