Energy Efficiency and Sustainability: From Materials Design to System Integration and ControlEnergy efficiency and improvements in sustainable practices are major factors towards mitigating the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the environmental impact of their consumption. Innovative approaches to unconventional resource recovery improvement and the integration of renewable resources into distributed production of power are key enablers towards achieving these goals. The ...
A class of materials called lead-iodide perovskites has recently been identified as extremely promising absorbers for low-cost and high-efficiency solar cells. Impressively, efficiencies of solar cells employing these perovskite absorbers have reached commercially viable values in just six years. Despite this remarkable progress in device manufacture, the materials' inherent instability ...
