Graphene as a front contact for silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells
A team of researchers has developed an elegant process for coating fragile perovskite layers with graphene for the first time. Subsequent measurements show that the graphene layer is an ideal front contact in several respects.
Could metal particles be the clean fuel of the future?
Metal powders, produced using clean primary energy sources, could provide a more viable long-term replacement for fossil fuels than other widely discussed alternatives, such as hydrogen, biofuels or batteries, according to a new study.

Researchers demonstrate tracking of individual catalyst nanoparticles during heating
Researchers have taken atomic-level images of individual nanoparticles during heating that could lead to improved fuel-cell technologies.
‘Diamonds from the sky’ approach turns CO2 into valuable products
Finding a technology to shift carbon dioxide, the most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas, from a climate change problem to a valuable commodity has long been a dream. Now, a team of chemists says they have developed a technology to economically convert atmospheric CO2 directly into highly valued carbon nanofibers for industrial and consumer products.

Sweden deploys 120-ton subsea generator switchgear at MHK project
A significant step to develop the first megawatt from the marine hydrokinetic (MHK) Sotenas Wave Energy Plant off of Sweden’s west coast took place earlier this month when a 120-ton subsea generator switchgear was deployed and connected to the Swedish national power grid via a 10-km-long subsea cable.
