SCIENTISTS DEVELOP SAFER LEAD-BASED PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL STRUCTURE

SCIENTISTS DEVELOP SAFER LEAD-BASED PEROVSKITE SOLAR CELL STRUCTURE

Researchers atΒ Northern Illinois UniversityΒ and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)Β National Renewable Energy LaboratoryΒ (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, reported in the journalΒ NatureΒ on a potential breakthrough in the development of hybrid perovskite solar cells. Considered rising stars in the field of solar energy, perovskite solar cells convert light into electricity. They’re potentially cheaper and simpler to produce than …

Physicists design $100 handheld muon detector

At any given moment, the Earth’s atmosphere is showered with high-energy cosmic rays that have been blasted from supernovae and other astrophysical phenomena far beyond the Solar System. When cosmic rays collide with the Earth’s atmosphere, they decay into muons β€” charged particles that are slightly heavier than an electron. Muons last only fractions of …

Bismuth Oxyiodide (BiOI)β€”A Non-toxic Alternative To Solar Cells

Bismuth Oxyiodide (BiOI)β€”A Non-toxic Alternative To Solar Cells

Bismuth is considered as a β€œgreen-element” and bismuth-based compounds are gaining attention as potentially non-toxic and defect-tolerant solar absorbers. The researchers of theΒ University of Cambridge and the United States developed theoretical and experimental methods to show that bismuth, which sits next to lead (Pb)Β on the periodic table, can be used to make inexpensive solar cells. …

Carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, can stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries surprisingly

Carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, can stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries surprisingly

Lithium-sulfur batteries are suitable for both vehicle and grid applications as they are ultra-cheap, high-energy devices.Β Sulfur is a very low-cost material and the energy capacity is much higher than that of lithium-ion. So, lithium-sulfur is one chemistry that can possibly meet the demand for energy storage at a cheap price. However, the serious problemΒ is, lithium-sulfur …
