Perovskite Research Finds a New Interesting Property
October 13, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists have discovered a new phenomenon of perovskite that could have practical applications. Perovskites are expected to have applications in solar cells, rechargeable battery electrodes, and water-splitting devices. When one type of perovskite, known as BSCF for its constituents of barium, strontium, cobalt, and iron, is exposed to both water vapor and […]

Stack Perovskite On Silicon Solar Cell For More Efficiency
January 21, 2015 | Leave a Comment
Stanford University researchers have stacked perovskites onto a conventional silicon solar cell dramatically improving the overall efficiency of the cell. Study co-author Michael McGehee, a professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford said, “We’ve been looking for ways to make solar panels that are more efficient and lower cost. Right now, silicon solar cells […]

Wonder Material Perovskite Destined For LEDs
August 7, 2014 | 2 Comments
A hybrid form of perovskite, the same type of material that has recently been found to make highly efficient solar cells that could one day replace silicon, has been used to make low-cost, easily manufactured LEDs. This particular class of semiconductor perovskites has generated excitement in the solar cell field over the past several years, […]
