Electrochemical potential window of battery electrolytes: the HOMO-LUMO misconception

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo

A widespread misconception in the lithium ion battery literature is the equality of the energy difference of HOMO and LUMO of the solvent with the electrochemical stability window. HOMO and LUMO are concepts derived from approximated electronic structure t ...

How the formation of interfacial charge causes hysteresis in perovskite solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

In this study, we discuss the underlying mechanism of the current-voltage hysteresis in a hybrid lead-halide perovskite solar cell. We have developed a method based on Kelvin probe force microscopy that enables mapping charge redistribution in an operating ...
