Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...

MOFs are porous materials made up of metal ions connected by organic molecules. Their large surface area, adjustable pore sizes, and chemical versatility make them useful for enhancing solar cells.

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

The review highlights recent advancements in enhancing the intrinsic physical properties of metal halide perovskite scintillators, such as improving light yield and response times, to improve their ...

Metal halide perovskites have demonstrated rapid development in applications such as solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. Their core advantages stem from tunable bandgap, ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a 2D/3D tin halide perovskite (THP) solar cell with a certified efficiency of 16.65% and peak performance of 17.13%, maintaining stable ...

Silicon solar cells are approaching their limits—but metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) are changing the game. With their exceptional opto-electronic properties, defect tolerance, and potential to work ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

A German-French team of physicists from TU Dortmund University, University of Würzburg, and Le Mans Université has succeeded in launching shear hypersound pulses with exceptionally large amplitudes in ...
