Intermediate Compounds Govern Properties of Perovskite Layer in Solar Cells

Scientists at the Department of Material Sciences, Lomonosov MSU, have described the manner in which the battery efficiency and structure of created films are influenced when the ratio of components that form light-absorbing layer of a perovskite solar cell is altered. The outcomes of the research have been reported in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C.

High Thermoelectric Powers Observed in One-Dimensional Crystals for Practical Low-Temperature Cooling

Thermoelectric cooling refers to a solid-state refrigeration process in which the heat present in an electrically conductive material is transferred with the help of the material's own conduction electrons and without the need for the gaseous coolants, such as chlorofluorocarbons, that are used in standard refrigeration.
