Aug 14, 2023 (Nanowerk News) High-temperature flames are used to create a wide variety of materials – but once you start a fire, it can be difficult to control how the flame interacts with the material you are trying to process. Researchers have now developed a technique that utilizes a...
Gold buckyballs, oft-used nanoparticle ‘seeds’ are one and the same
Aug 14, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny gold “seed” particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spherical molecules that are cousins of the carbon buckyballs discovered at Rice in 1985. Carbon...
Flexible perovskite solar cells achieve record indoor efficiency on PET films
Aug 14, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Perovskite photovoltaic devices have garnered much attention from both the academic and industrial R&D world because they combine high power conversion efficiencies and low-cost manufacturing processes since they can be deposited in ink form or through simple evaporation.
