Stanford researchers have patented a 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.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Brongersma's laboratory have engineered a novel patterning scheme for semiconductor nanowires to increase their photon absorption in thin films for solar cells and photo-detectors.
Stanford engineers have developed an efficient photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) that uses a mixed ion electron conductor (MIEC) heterojunction to enable high temperature (hundreds of oC) conversion of concentrated sunlight to chemical fuel (such as hydrogen).
Researchers in Dr. Alfred Spormann's lab have developed a method of using co-cultures to enhance microbial electrosynthesis to allow more efficient production of desired products such as biofuel.
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.
Enzymatically active hydrogenase is synthesized in a cell-free reaction. The hydrogenases are synthesized in a cell-free reaction comprising a cell extract derived from microbial strains expressing at least one hydrogenase accessory protein.
Stanford researchers have developed a new way to deposit robust and efficient photoactive perovskite materials in open-air and at rapid linear processing rates in excess of 1 cm/s.
Stanford researchers at the Fan Group have designed and tested a highly efficient radiative cooler prototype with the following record-breaking performance results:
Stanford researchers have developed an efficient and low-cost device which increases the energy harvest of a system by recovering these losses through module-level maximum power point tracking (MPPT).
Engineers in Prof. Arunava Majumdar's laboratory have formulated high-entropy phase-change materials that can split water to produce hydrogen at moderate temperatures using a scalable, carbon-free process.
A multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed a new class of tunable, zinc-based sorbents that use catalytic carbonate chemistry to efficiently capture carbon in the presence of water vapor.
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.
