Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
Researchers in Hongjie Dai's lab have developed a low-cost method for making large scale, pristine, and functionalized graphene sheets for electronic and biological applications. The method produces single-layer graphene sheets that are stably suspended in organic solvents.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have created a thin-film pressure sensor device structure so sensitive it can detect the slightest touch.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
