New Carbon Capture Research Emphasizes Recycling, Not Sequestration
Carbon capture is still alive and kicking, thanks in part to new systems that use carbon dioxide to generate electricity and produce sustainable hydrogen.
Korean Scientists Claim New Perovskite Solar Cell Record
Scientists in Korea have claimed a new world record for the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell they have created in the lab. They think the breakthrough will contribute to a wider acceptance of PSC in the commercial world.
Solar Hydrogen Production Efficiency World Record Broken — “Wormlike” Hematite Photoanode Crushes Old Record
A new world record has been set for solar hydrogen production efficiency — the new record-breaking efficiency of 5.3% blows past the previous record of 4.2%, thanks in large part to the development of a new “wormlike” hematite photoanode. The new photoanode was developed by researchers from the Ulsan National … [continued]
New Plasmonic Polymer Solar Cells Achieve Record Efficiency Of 8.92%
A new polymer solar cells designed by researchers at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology has achieved a record for the highest efficiency of any plasmonic PSCs that utilize metal nanoparticles. The new record is not far off of the 10% conversion efficiency level that the researchers think … [continued]
Lithium-Ion Battery that Charges 120 Times Faster than Normal Developed
A super fast-charging lithium-ion battery capable of being recharged 30 to 120 times faster than conventional li-ion batteries has been developed by researchers. The researchers think that they can use this technology to create a battery pack for electric vehicles that will fully charge in less than a minute. The primary … [continued]
