Researchers from Northwestern University in the US and Seoul National University in Korea have demonstrated a high-performing thermoelectric material in a practical form that can be used to develop ...

Until recently, chalcopyrite-based solar cells have achieved a maximum energy conversion efficiency of 23.35%, as reported in 2019 by Solar Frontier, a former Solar Energy company based in Japan.

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new thermoelectric material that may be the most efficient one yet. The new and improved polycrystalline form of purified tin selenide has all the ...

Single crystal tin selenide is a semiconductor and an ideal thermoelectric material; it can directly convert waste heat to electrical energy or be used for cooling. When a group of researchers saw the ...

New research from the United Kingdom sees potential to double efficiency of antimony selenide absorbers, beyond today’s champion cells with 10%, by applying latest growth methods, reducing vacancy ...

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) is an II-VI semiconductor material with a bandgap of around 1.7eV, which makes it ideal for building thin-film solar cells with strong optoelectronic properties, remarkable ...

Lead selenide is a semiconductor material that forms cubic crystals similar to the structure of NaCl . It performs efficiently at low temperatures, without the need for cooling. It naturally occurs in ...

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) is a binary, primarily ionic compound with a touch of covalent character. It can take three crystalline forms, but the hexagonal wurtzite structure shown is by far the most ...
