(Nanowerk News) Scientists are interested in improving the stability of a class of crystalline materials that, if more stable, could be the basis for inexpensive solar cells. These materials, called ...

Using a new pressure quenching (PQ) technique at high temperatures to induce superconductivity in iron selenide (FeSe) crystals, superconductivity was achieved -- and sustained -- without pressure. In ...

A Kuwait University research team compared the effects on perovskite film grain-size, crystallinity, surface roughness, defects, and related solar cell performance of helium and argon quenching gases ...

The US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has achieved remarkable efficiency and stability for a wide-bandgap all-perovskite tandem solar cell. The scientist developed the device with an ...
