Phase-stable indium sulfide achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 14.3% for solar-assisted carbon dioxide reduction to formate

Michael Graetzel, Jingshan Luo, Jing Gao, Jun Li

Tremendous efforts have been made in developing highly selective catalysts for electrochemical CO 2 conversion to formate. However, the rapid deactivation resulting from structural reconstruction and phase transition poses considerable challenges to the sy ...

Dissecting the photoacidity of spiropyran/merocyanine molecular switches in water

Cesare Berton

Photochemistry is a discipline that studies the interaction between light and matter with the scope to induce chemical transformations. The first conjugation between light and chemistry can be dated back to the lifespan of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, who is c ...

Solar reduction of carbon dioxide on copper-tin electrocatalysts with energy conversion efficiency near 20%

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yuhang Liu, Dan Ren, Jing Gao, Jun Li, Meng Xia

Solar-driven carbon dioxide reduction has witnessed a renaissance in the past decades, but the system suffers from low reaction rates. Here the authors develop a copper/tin-oxide electrocatalyst, achieving a new benchmark solar-to-CO energy conversion effi ...

Isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell patches in free and forced vibration of sinusoidally corrugated FG carbon nanotube-reinforced composite panels

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Application of the isogeometric method is illustrated for free and forced vibration analyzes of sinusoidally corrugated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) thin panels. These panels can be used as a potential structure for m ...

Vertically Aligned 2D/3D Pb-Sn Perovskites with Enhanced Charge Extraction and Suppressed Phase Segregation for Efficient Printable Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen, Fei Guo

The concept of mixed 2D/3D heterostructures has emerged as an effective method for improving the stability of lead halide perovskite solar cells, which has been, however, rarely reported in lead-tin (Pb-Sn) mixed perovskite devices. Here, we report a scala ...

Theoretical Study of Light Trapping in Nanostructured Thin Film Solar Cells Using Wavelength-Scale Silver Particles

Ali Dabirian

We propose and theoretically evaluate a plasmonic light trapping solution for thin film photovoltaic devices that comprises a monolayer or a submonolayer of wavelength-scale silver particles. We systematically study the effect of silver particle size using ...

Micron-scale rod-like scattering particles for light trapping in nanostructured thin film solar cells

Ali Dabirian

Spherical dielectric particles, nanofibers, and nanorods have been widely used as embedded scattering objects in nanostructured thin film solar cells. Here we propose micron-scale rod-like dielectric particles as a more effective alternative to the spheric ...
