Home > Press > Perovskite solar cells: Interfacial loss mechanisms revealedThe SAM layer between the perovskite semiconductor and the ITO contact consists of a single layer of organic molecules. The mechanisms by which this SAM layer reduces losses can be quantified by measuring the surface photovoltage and photoluminescence. CREDIT ...
Ferroelectrics everywhere?
Aug 31, 2021 (Nanowerk News) A new family of materials that could result in improved digital information storage and uses less energy may be possible thanks to a team of Penn State researchers who demonstrated ferroelectricity in magnesium-substituted zinc oxide. Ferroelectric materials are spontaneous electricly polarized bcause negative and positive...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Polymer electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries without dead zones
Home > Press > Polymer electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries without dead zonesAbstract:As the demand for electric vehicles rises, interest grows for all-solid-state batteries, which are next-generation batteries that will replace lithium-ion batteries that are inherently dangerous due to their explosive nature. However, the low ionic conductivity of solid-state polymer...
