FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Perovskite solar cells
- A class of photovoltaic devices using perovskite-structured materials as the light-absorbing layer. They are known for rapidly rising power conversion efficiencies and low-cost solution processing.
- Solid-state battery
- A battery that uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one. This design can improve safety and energy density compared with conventional lithium-ion batteries.
- Thermoelectric material
- A material that can convert a temperature difference directly into electrical voltage (or vice versa). Efficiency is often described by the figure of merit ZT.
- Photoelectrochemical cell
- A device that uses light to drive chemical reactions, such as water splitting for hydrogen production. It combines light absorption with electrochemical processes.
- Energy storage
- Technologies and systems that store energy for later use, including batteries, supercapacitors, and thermal storage. In materials research, the focus is often on electrode and electrolyte materials.
- Materials characterization
- Techniques used to determine a material's structure, composition, and properties. Examples include X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and spectroscopy.
- Device fabrication
- The process of building functional devices from materials, such as solar cells or batteries. It includes steps like deposition, patterning, and encapsulation.
- Power conversion efficiency
- The ratio of useful electrical output to input energy (often sunlight) for a device such as a solar cell. It is a key performance metric in energy materials research.
