Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
Stanford researchers have developed a method to fabricate highly efficient Si/TMDs tandem solar cells which aims to break the 30% efficiency barrier with low cost and increased reliability.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel, non-tracking and low cost solar concentrator - Axially Graded Index LEns: AGILE - that has potential to change the economy of the solar cell industry.
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 patented a crystalline germanium nanostructure device and method of forming a continuous polycrystalline Ge film (5-500nm thick poly-Ge) with crystalline Ge islands of preferred orientation.
Stanford researchers have developed and tested a new method of stably and strongly doping CNTs and graphene using MoOx as a nontoxic, inexpensive, vacuum or solution deposited alternative to strong liquid acids.
