Photocatalysis promises an efficient conversion of abundant solar energy into usable chemical energy. Polyheptazine imides ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

A study from the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) has uncovered a theoretical mechanism showing how the electronic band structures of strongly correlated insulators can be ...

Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...

A new crystal-seeding method boosts the efficiency and scalability of perovskite solar cells, advancing this promising ...

Regular perovskite solar cells (PSCs)—which place the electron-transport layer beneath the perovskite absorber and the hole-transport layer on ...

Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the ...

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

So far, there was only limited knowledge about how structural changes affect the electronic and optical properties of the many material candidates in this class. A team led by researchers from the ...

The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a ...

Black holes that turn matter into energy could explain dark energy and answer two other cosmic questions. Now, the challenge ...
