  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔫☀️ Scientists in #Germany bought centuries-old lead musket balls on eBay and turned them into high-purity #solar cell components.

    Using an electrochemical process, they extracted lead iodide at 94% efficiency and then purified it to 99.999% through #crystal growth. The resulting solar cells performed at 21% efficiency, matching control cells made from brand new commercial lead.

  4. Researchers have developed the first universal model to accurately explain and predict energy level alignment at the interfaces between electrodes, hole-collecting monolayers (HCMs), and #perovskite layers in solar cells. This framework establishes physical guidelines for designing efficient, durable perovskite solar cells without relying heavily on trial and error.

  5. #Perovskite #quantum dots are nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals that harness quantum effects to efficiently absorb and re-emit light. Composed primarily of metals and halides, these nanocrystals possess highly customizable optical and electronic characteristics dictated by their extremely small dimensions.

  6. Unfortunately, this new breakthrough involves #Molybdenum, the mining of which is very polluting. The article does also mention breakthroughs using #perovskite, and hopefully, lead-free perovskite (like those using tin) will be developed... Always ask -- How long will this new technology last? What happens when it becomes obsolete? Are there polluting materials involved?
