Stanford researchers at the Cui Lab have designed a self-aligned hybrid metal-dielectric surface that offers unparalleled performance in applications where both a transparent contact and a photon management texture are needed.
Stanford researchers have disclosed a new family of white light emitting perovskites with photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) of up to 9%, which show stable emission over at least three months of continuous irradiation.
Electronic devices made from single crystal thin films attached to inexpensive support substrates offer reduced material costs compared to wafer-based devices; however, scalable and inexpensive processes for producing these single crystal film structures have remained elusive.
Solar cells containing halide perovskite absorbers have shown large improvements in power conversion efficiency over the last eight years and now exceed 20%. This makes them competitive with many commercial technologies like polycrystalline silicon and CdTe.
Stanford researchers have for the first time, demonstrated the use of scaffolding to increase the mechanical and chemical stability of perovskite solar cells.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
