Application

Lead(II) chloride (PbCl2) (98%) is a lead halide that can be used in the formation of a precursor solution to form perovskites films. These films and sheets can be used in the fabrication of hybrid solar absorbers and photodetectors. It also has potential application as a thermoelectric material.

Articles

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Controlled synthesis of metal clusters regulates ligands and atoms, advancing metal nanomaterial synthesis.

Next generation solar cells have the potential to achieve conversion efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit while also significantly lowering production costs.

Dr. Perini and Professor Correa-Baena discuss the latest research and effort to obtain higher performance and stability of perovskite materials.
