Porous Nanowires for High-Rate Sodium-Ion Batteries
Researchers from China have embedded carbon-coated NVP nanoparticles in carbon nanowires to create a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.
A new paradigm for hybrid optical materials
In a new study led by the University of Adelaide in Australia, researchers have developed a versatile direct-doping approach to integrate UPNCs in glass. They discovered that the upconversion emissions of erbium ions can be used to diagnose the survival and dissolution fraction of doped UPNCs in glass.
A New Solar Cell with a CdS Layer for Improved Efficiency
A new solar cell is described that relies on a thin layer of clean CdS in which a high-field domain extracts holes from p-type emitters without having pn-junctions involved. This design is highly advantageous for increasing the efficiency of the solar cell significantly, by avoiding junction leakage and by increasing the open circuit voltage to its theoretical value approaching the band gap at T = 0 K.
High-Performance Supercapacitors from Nickel Foam
Researchers from Singapore have grown nanoporous nickel sulfide on nickel foam to generate promising electrodes for supercapacitors.
