Turning windows into energy generators

novel transparent metal oxide photovoltaic cells could turn windows into energy generators

Using 3D aerosol jet-printing, scientists have produced a highly sensitive X-ray detector by printing arrays of perovskite pillars on a graphene substrate.

Bismuth vanadate electrodes that contain more bismuth on their surface generate higher amounts of electrical current from sunlight for water splitting.

Researchers have developed a 'windowpane' with a conjugated polymer that can direct light that falls on it to solar cells at the edges of the pane.

New class of optical coating that transmit and reflects the same color simultaneously

Researchers have found a better way to produce an exotic class of gel, by simply mixing together water, oil and nanoparticles of quartz.
