X-rays reveal in situ crystal growth of lead-free perovskite solar panel materials. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2020 / 04 / 200406120138.htm ...

Lead-based perovskites efficiently turn light into electricity but they also present some major drawbacks: the most efficient materials are not very stable, while lead is a toxic element.

“Lead iodide is a key raw material for organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells,” so the details of crystal formation are a subject of considerable research interest.

A new solar material developed by Berkeley Lab scientists offers a simpler and more sustainable approach to solar cell manufacturing. The material’s lead-free formulation could also benefit the ...

Thermoelectric devices, which convert heat to electricity, may find broader use now that researchers have found a way to make a recently identified cheap thermoelectric material practical enough ...

In a first for the field, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

US scientists have discovered a lead-free perovskite material with ferroelectric properties that can be used in solar cells. The perovskite compound was grown from cesium germanium tribromide and ...

“We showed that the primes behave almost like a crystal or, more precisely, similar to a crystal-like material called a 'quasicrystal.'" Primes are numbers that can only be divided by 1 and themselves ...
