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 an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
These light trapping solar cell structures increase optical absorption and carrier collection, improving efficiency by 24%, while significantly reducing the solar cell active layer thickness and thus lowering cost.
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 discovered a novel method of doping nanowires (NW) and thin films (TF) that greatly improves surface area and performance. The sol-flame method is a fast, simple and low cost way to introduce dopants into NW and TF for a wide variety of applications.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
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.
The Nanophotonic Light-Field (NLF) sensor enables a new generation of light field cameras capable of high sensitivity, high pixel density and faster shutter speeds.
