Hybrid Perovskite Combined with Acceptor Material Used to Harvest Hot Electrons

Semiconductors are used to change energy from photons (light) into an electron current. However, certain photons hold excess energy for the material to absorb. These photons create “hot electrons,” and the extra energy of these electrons is turned into heat.

Novel Material Efficiently Produces Electrical Current from Temperature Differences

Thermoelectric materials are capable of changing heat into electrical energy. This can be attributed to the so-called Seebeck effect—that is, when both ends of the thermoelectric material have a temperature difference, an electrical voltage can be produced and the current can begin to flow.
