PDF combined with SCXRD solves the atomic structure of tetrahedral quantum dots

Luminescent semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) are central to emerging technologies that range from tissue imaging to solid-state lighting. However, existing samples are heterogeneous, which has prevented atomic-resolution determination of their structures and obscured the relationship between their atomic and electronic structures. In this work, we synthesized, isolated and structural characterized  three cadmium selenide QDs with… Read More PDF combined with SCXRD solves the atomic structure of tetrahedral quantum dots

PDF unveils the structure of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell

For the first time, the  detailed structure of the light harvesting material in recently discovered high performance  dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been determined. There has been a strikingly rapid increase in the performance of solar cells based on methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskites following the first report in 2009; today greater than 15%… Read More PDF unveils the structure of organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell
