An international research team has fabricated a perovskite solar cell that reportedly shows lower non-radiative recombination and defect state density. “Our study introduces an innovative lead iodide ...

A German research team at Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy, Jülich Institute for Energy, has reported success with the recovery of every layer of a planar methylammonium lead ...

Formamidinium lead iodide is a very good material for photovoltaic cells, but getting the correct and stable crystal structure is a challenge. The techniques developed so far have produced rather poor ...

A new pathway to creating durable, efficient perovskite photovoltaics at industrial scale has been demonstrated through the first effective use of lead acetate as a precursor in making ...

Materials scientists find inorganic compounds quench defects in perovskite-based solar cells and expand their tolerance of light, humidity and heat. Rice University scientists believe they've overcome ...

These crystals of lead iodide formed from a mixture of lead nitrate and potassium iodide. Yiping Zhang, of Xiamen University prepared the fine, flaky crystals by mixing the reagents in boiling water ...

Scientists have developed a new material that converts motion into electricity (piezoelectricity) with greater efficiency and ...

New bismuth-based piezoelectric rivals lead ceramics, enabling greener sensors, wearables and self-powered electronics.

Scientists in the UK have developed a new material that can turn movement into electricity without using toxic lead — a ...
