News Release: Scientists at NREL Report New Synapse-Like Phototransistor
April 28, 2021
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a breakthrough in energy-efficient phototransistors. Such devices could eventually help computers process visual information more like the human brain and be used as sensors in things like self-driving vehicles.
The structures rely on a new type of semiconductor metal-halide perovskites which have proven to be highly efficient at converting sunlight into electrical energy and shown tremendous promise in a range of other technologies.
“In general, these perovskite semiconductors are a really unique functional system with potential benefits for a number of different technologies,” said Jeffrey Blackburn,

To help address the world’s need for clean energy, Colorado State University, the Wright Center for Photovoltaics at the University of Toledo, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have teamed with U.S.-based companies to form the U.S. Manufacturing of Advanced Cadmium Telluride (US-MAC) photovoltaics consortium.
Jim Sites, professor in the CSU Department of Physics who serves on the consortium’s three-member executive committee, has spent the last several decades leading research in the characterization and performance of solar cells made from cadmium telluride. He works closely with W.S. Sampath, professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and together they have formed a powerful research collaboration at CSU that has pushed the boundaries of cadmium telluride, or CdTe, technology, supported by millions in federal grants.
