New Molecule Boosts Efficiency and Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

Credit: DepositphotosA recent Science study shows that the synthetic molecule CPMAC, developed through an international collaboration with KAUST, significantly boosts the energy efficiency and lifespan of perovskite solar cells.CPMAC is an ionic salt derived from buckminsterfullerene (C60), a carbon-based material with 60 atoms. While C60 has helped achieve record energy efficiencies in perovskite solar...

Advancing OLEDs: New Spectroscopy Boosts Lifespan

Credit: Scitech DailyHigh-resolution, full-color displays—like those in foldable smartphones and ultrathin TVs—depend on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). OLEDs are gaining popularity due to their flexibility, self-illumination, light weight, slim design, high contrast, and low power consumption.An OLED consists of several ultrathin organic layers placed between two electrodes, each with a distinct function. When voltage...
