Numerical study of optical transmission in silver plasmonic square nanohole and its to windows

Josef Andreas Schuler, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury

Energy-efficient windows are being used to increase the thermal insulation of a fa & ccedil;ade. Such insulating windows contain an ultra-thin, multilayered, transparent silver coating that acts as an infrared mirror which significantly reduces thermal los ...

Persistent enhancement of exciton diffusivity in CsPbBr3 nanocrystal solids

Seryio Saris

In semiconductors, exciton or charge carrier diffusivity is typically described as an inherent material property. Here, we show that the transport of excitons among CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) depends markedly on how recently those NCs were occup ...

Polydopamine-coated photoautotrophic bacteria for improving extracellular electron transfer in living photovoltaics

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Mohammed Mouhib, Hanxuan Wang, Charlotte Elisabeth Marie Roullier, Fabian Fischer, Patricia Brandl

Living photovoltaics are microbial electrochemical devices that use whole cell–electrode interactions to convert solar energy to electricity. The bottleneck in these technologies is the limited electron transfer between the microbe and the electrode surfac ...

Universal Casimir attraction between filaments at the cell scale

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol

The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between dielectric objects immersed in salted water includes a universal contribution that is not screened by the solvent and therefore long-ranged. Here, we study the geometry of two parallel dielectric cylinders. W ...

Intrinsic performance loss rate: Decoupling reversible and irreversible losses for an improved assessment of photovoltaic system performance

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Hugo James André Quest

Solar electricity is set to play a pivotal role in future energy systems. In view of a market that may soon reach the terawatt (TW) scale, a careful assessment of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems becomes critical. Research on PV fault detection ...

Durable Perovskite Solar Cells with 24.5% Average Efficiency: The Role of Rigid Conjugated Core in Molecular Semiconductors

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Felix Thomas Eickemeyer, Peng Wang, Ming Ren

Efficient and robust n-i-p perovskite solar cells necessitate superior organic hole-transport materials with both mechanical and electronic prowess. Deciphering the structure-property relationship of these materials is crucial for practical perovskite sola ...

Beam radiation penetration in particle b e ds for heat transfer modeling of a centrifugal solar particle receiver

Evan Fair Johnson, Serdar Hiçdurmaz

This article describes a study of beam radiation striking particle beds of randomly packed, spherical par-ticles. The current study is focused on concentrating solar power receivers which use solid particles as a heat transfer medium, but results are appli ...
