Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira Speaks at ICSM 2024 about Advances in Perovskite Solar Cell Interfaces
Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira recently participated as an invited speaker at the prestigious International Conference on Science and Technology of Synthetic Electronic Materials (ICSM 2024). The event, held in Dresden, Germany, from June 23-28th, is the largest conference dedicated to organic electronics, with a rich history of showcasing groundbreaking developments
Published Paper: In Situ PL Tracking of Halide Exchange at 3D/QD Heterojunction Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising technology for next-generation solar power, but they face significant challenges in terms of environmental stability. A recent study published in ACS Energy Letters by LNES members delves into an innovative solution to this problem: using perovskite quantum dots (QDs) to enhance the stability
Published Paper: Understanding and Controlling the Photoluminescence Line Shapes of 2D Perovskites with Chiral Methylbenzylammonium-Based Cations
Chiral two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are emerging as a revolutionary material for the next generation of spintronic and chiroptical devices. A new study published in Chemistry of Materials by researchers of the LNES sheds light on how to control the photoluminescence (PL) properties of these materials, crucial for their application in
Battery State Of Health — What Is It? Why Is It Important?
Lithium-ion batteries are efficient, compact, and have a long lifespan — all factors that enable electric vehicles (EVs), which are powered by these batteries, to be a great substitute for their gasoline counterpart. Transportation is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. By switching to EVs, and away from these highly
The Green Jobs Sector Continues Upward Momentum
The green jobs sector is robust and getting stronger by the year. In fact, the median salary in a green job is $76,530/year – 31% more than the national median salary for the US workforce at $58,260. Not only is the overall growth rate for green jobs higher than for
Why Aptera’s Vehicle Solar Panel Design Is Bigger News For The EV Industry Than We Think
A recent video by Aptera tells us not only that its vehicle-mounted solar panels are in production, but gives us some clues about the journey to get to this point. It wasn’t easy, and certainly wasn’t just a matter of slapping some panels on the outside of the car. As
