Enhancement of optical properties of Perovskite solar cells through added plasmonic nanostructures

Shehata N., Badran H., Kandas I., Hajjiah A., Kuwait College of Science and Technology, KW

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have been extensively studied as a promising research topic in solar energy harvesting, due to their simple process, developed optical and electrical properties, and relatively low-cost materials. However, the perovskite solar cells [...]

Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds

Padilla O., Gallego J., Santamaria A., University of Antioquia, CO

The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include a set of hydrocarbons with high vapor pressure. VOCs are highly harmful to health and the environment [1]. Catalytic oxidizers are one of the rising alternatives for remove them [...]

Rapid processing of perovskite thin films for applications in PV

Druffel T., Lavery B., University of Louisville, US

Perovskite solar cells have the possibility of becoming the next generation of industrial solar cells due to their ease of manufacturing, use of common materials, and respectable efficiencies. Since the first report of perovskite solar [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Perovskite Ca0.5Sr0.5MnO3 Nanoparticles in w/o-Microemulsions

López-Trosell A., Schomäcker R., TU Berlin, DE

In the present work, w/o-microemulsions were employed to produce nanoparticles of perovskite Ca0.5 Sr0.5 MnO3. The reaction inside the microemulsion droplets was achieved by addition of sodium hydroxide as co-precipitation agent. Afterward the precursor of [...]
