In a recent study published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials, researchers fabricated p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thermoelectric compounds at a relatively low sintering temperature of 130 ? with a high dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) value of 0.56 at 450 K using liquid-phase-assisted sintering (i.e. cold-sintering).
In a recent study published in the journal Dyes and Pigments, researchers from the Republic of Korea developed a novel fluorine-based transparent and colorless ultraviolet (UV) light-harvesting dye for photovoltaic solar cells that can be fitted on to window glasses of urban buildings to meet the increasing energy demand for next decade.
In a recent study published in the journal Additive Manufacturing, researchers developed new wired grid polarizers for monochrome liquid crystal device (LCD) used for the patterning of ultraviolet light (UV) in vat polymerization stereolithography.
In a recent study published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers analyzed the effect of a nanoporous gold (np-Au) catalyst on the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) in a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) and investigated the effect of electrochemical wetting on the output.
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity of chromium arsenide (CrAs), a pnictide, with an orthorhombic crystal structure under ambient pressure in 2014, many transition metal pnictides (TMP) have garnered a lot of attention for this purpose.
