Now A New Process For Producing Stable Perovskite Materials
December 30, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Queen Mary University of London researchers have developed a new process for producing stable perovskite materials to create more efficient solar cells. Currently crystalline silicon is the most widely used material for solar cells. However, over the last decade, perovskite solar cells, made from metal halide perovskite materials, have shown promise to make cheaper, and […]

Stretchy Washable Battery Now Closer For Wearable Devices
December 29, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of British Columbia researchers have created what could be the first battery that is both flexible and washable. In addition to watches and patches for measuring vital signs, the battery might also be integrated with clothing that can actively change color or temperature. It works even when twisted or stretched to twice its normal […]

Nickel Cobalt Nitrogen Doped Carbon Hydrogen Electrolysis
December 28, 2021 | Leave a Comment
A nickel-cobalt metal dimer on nitrogen-doped carbon can catalyze electrolysis under both acidic and basic conditions. Green hydrogen generated from the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity is considered a next-generation renewable energy source for the future. But in reality, the overwhelming majority of hydrogen fuel is obtained from the refining of fossils fuels due […]

Wonder Material Phosphorene Nanoribbons Improve Solar Cells
December 23, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Imperial College London researchers have incorporated phosphorene nanoribbons into new types of solar cells, dramatically improving their efficiency. Phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs) are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material phosphorus, which, similar to graphene, are made of single-atom-thick layers of atoms. PNRs were first produced in 2019, and hundreds of theoretical studies have predicted how their […]

Microbes Developed That Turn Sugar Into Gasoline Components
December 22, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University at Buffalo researchers report harnessing the wonders of biology and chemistry to turn glucose (a type of sugar) into olefins (a type of hydrocarbon, and one of several types of molecules that make up gasoline). The project was led by biochemists Zhen Q. Wang at the University at Buffalo and Michelle C. Y. Chang […]
