Introduction The great aspect of solar cells is that they are producing non-polluting renewable energy by absorbing photons i.e. sunlight, and by extension converting the energy of the photon to electrical energy for applications or conservation. One of the main challenges in the photovoltaic industry is the 33% efficiency limit for any traditional solar cell […]

Thermal Atomic layer etching (ALE) is a recently developed technique to fabricate nanostructures with high precision. While not yet as scalable as other techniques, it shows promising application possibilities. To improve the power of integrated circuits such as CPUs, we need to build finer structures of transistors that can store the information used in electronic

The lithium ion battery chemistries are reaching their theoretical limits. The transition to sustainable energy sources such as solar- and wind power requires large energy storage systems to counter their intermittency. Furthermore, the electrification of the transportation sector increases the demand for higher specific capacities i.e., the capacity to weight ratio. The needs are right

When fabricating nanostructures, a major task is to find reliable, and inexpensive methods that can be used on an industrial scale. These methods fall into two categories: top-down and bottom-up. The improvement of products such as smartphones relies on the semiconductor industry to improve on their methods or develop new ones. Content –
