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.

Study Unlocks Physical Characteristics of Semiconductors in Much Greater Detail

A group of researchers from IBM and KAIST has reported a solution to a 140-year-old mystery in physics. The study published in Nature last month unravels the physical properties of semiconductors in considerably greater detail. The study also helps to develop new and enhanced semiconductor materials.

New Artificial System Maps the Self-Assembly Pathway of Two Types of Molecules

A pair of pathways diverged in a chemical synthesis is taken up by a single molecule. At the University of Tokyo, chemists have explored how an ultrathin sheet or a spherical cage is formed by molecular building blocks.

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.

Ferroelectric Domains can Increase the Efficiency of Perovskite Solar Cells

Researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have successfully demonstrated that hybrid halide perovskites crystallize without an inversion center. The HZB team discovered this phenomenon through crystallographic analyses at the Diamond Light Source (DLS) synchrotron in the United Kingdom.
