Together, these make ultrathin, flexible solar cells more practical for real-world use, such as lightweight panels on vehicles, buildings, or portable devices. In short, the INL team has found a ...

In our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable. They function only because of a passivation layer that forms during their initial cycle. As researchers found out via simulations, ...

“Perovskite solar cells are one of the fastest-growing solar technologies in the world – they can be lightweight, thin-film, ...

As renewable energy technologies advance, researchers aim to make solar power more efficient, affordable, and durable.

Scientists in Australia took a close look at the long-term performance of passivation layers in silicon solar cells, and discovered a surprising process of degradation and regeneration at work within ...

A group of scientists in the United States has utilized a new passivation strategy based on sulfur-modified methylthio molecules to build an inverted perovskite solar cell with a certified efficiency ...

LAS VEGAS — Advancements in aluminum passivation chemistry by the U.S. Navy have resulted in the development of a hex-chrome free conversion coating that is designed to add significant corrosion ...

Copper corrodes quickly when exposed to oxygen. You must protect copper traces on outer layers from corrosion by passivation or by coating them with an inert material. Passivation refers to any ...

A research project has made a brand-new breakthrough over conventional stainless steel and the development of stainless steel for hydrogen (SS-H2). A research project led by Professor Mingxin Huang at ...
