Carbon electrode back-contacts for perovskite solar cells promise simpler, less energy-intense manufacturing, but low power conversion efficiency has held back adoption. However, this may change now, ...

Researchers in Germany have sought to improve the performance of carbon electrode perovskite solar cells through a hole-transporting bilayer made of organic semiconductors, instead of a conventional ...

New lithium battery structure breakthrough targets EVs, aircraft with 90% retention Researchers at the Gyeongsang National ...

Engineers from the University of Michigan and Rice University have developed a method to replace costly chemical treatments in desalination plants with carbon cloth electrodes that remove boron from ...

It is possible to incorporate nanopores in hard carbon by using zinc oxide as a template during its synthesis. These pores enable the material to store many more charge carriers, making it a promising ...

Concrete already builds our world, and an MIT-invented variant known as electron-­conducting carbon concrete (ec 3, ...

MIT researchers have discovered that when you mix cement and carbon black with water, the resulting concrete self-assembles into an energy-storing supercapacitor that can put out enough juice to power ...
