Researchers report on a new defect passivation strategy for improved power conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Polycrystalline formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI 3), widely ...

SnO 2 has been widely used as electron transport layers (ETLs) for efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its high transparency, high electron mobility, and favorable band alignment. PSCs ...

Korean researchers revealed that efficiency losses in heterojunction solar cells arise from two coexisting defect types – dangling bonds and weak silicon-silicon bonds. Their findings explain how ...

Recently, Engineering published the research work on sodium nitrate passivation as a novel insulation technology for soft magnetic composites developed by Prof. Mi Yan and Dr. Chen Wu’s team. Soft ...

In our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable. They function only because of a passivation layer that forms during their initial cycle. As researchers found out via simulations, ...

A group of scientists in the United States has utilized a new passivation strategy based on sulfur-modified methylthio molecules to build an inverted perovskite solar cell with a certified efficiency ...

Organic surface passivation has allowed a gallium oxide transistor to hold-off 8.03kV – the highest reported for a lateral mosfet, according to the University of Buffalo engineering team behind the ...

Nearly 3.8 billion people could face extreme heat by 2050 and while tropical countries will bear the brunt cooler regions will also need to adapt, scientists said Monday. Our pets share our homes, ...

Copper corrodes quickly when exposed to oxygen. You must protect copper traces on outer layers from corrosion by passivation or by coating them with an inert material. Passivation refers to any ...
