Hybrid Perovskites Properties Become Better Understood

December 30, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Kobe University’s Associate Professor Tachikawa Takashi and Dr. Karimata Izuru have succeeded in completely substituting the halide ions of perovskite nanocrystals (see #1 below) while maintaining their morphology and light-emitting efficiency. Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (see #2 below) have received much attention as potential next generation solar cells and as materials for light-emitting devices. By using […]

A Better Form of Perovskite Found

October 23, 2018 | Leave a Comment

One useful property that so far has not been observed in perovskites is called “carrier multiplication”, an effect that makes materials much more efficient in converting light into electricity. Perovskites form a group of crystals that have many promising properties for applications in nano-technology. New research performed in collaboration between the University of Amsterdam (UA) […]

A Better Cheaper Thermoelectric Material

April 19, 2012 | 2 Comments

Purdue University assistant professor of chemical engineering Yue Wu leads a team developing a technique that uses nanotechnology to harvest energy from hot pipes or engine components.  The team has coated glass fibers with a new thermoelectric material they developed. When thermoelectric materials are heated on one side electrons flow to the cooler side, generating […]

A Nano Crystal Idea for Fuel Cells

March 30, 2011 | 2 Comments

Researchers at TU Delft have identified a new huge potential of nanocrystals in fuel cells.  The Delft researchers are the first to document the idea accurately with their second article on the subject. The latest paper was published in the scientific journal, Advanced Functional Materials. The addition of the extremely small nanocrystals to a solid […]
