Nanograined Thermoelectrics with Bi2Te3-based Compounds Fabricated at Low Temperatures

In a recent study published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials, researchers fabricated p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thermoelectric compounds at a relatively low sintering temperature of 130 ? with a high dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) value of 0.56 at 450 K using liquid-phase-assisted sintering (i.e. cold-sintering).

UV-Harvesting Dyes in Solar Cells with Fluorene Donors

In a recent study published in the journal Dyes and Pigments, researchers from the Republic of Korea developed a novel fluorine-based transparent and colorless ultraviolet (UV) light-harvesting dye for photovoltaic solar cells that can be fitted on to window glasses of urban buildings to meet the increasing energy demand for next decade.

Shortening Curing Times and Expanding Stereolithography Feedstocks with Wire Grid Polarizers

In a recent study published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers developed new wired grid polarizers for monochrome liquid crystal device (LCD) used for the patterning of ultraviolet light (UV) in vat polymerization stereolithography.

Nanoporous Gold Catalyst for CO2 Reduction in a Gas Diffusion Electrode

In a recent study published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers analyzed the effect of a nanoporous gold (np-Au) catalyst on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) in a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and investigated the effect of electrochemical wetting on the output.
