Modulating the energy efficiency of model thin film energy materials by active strain (SUSTRAINABLE) Ghent University
A grand challenge of the 21st century is to meet the ever-increasing global energy demand. With the advent of (i) metal halide perovskite and (ii) metal thin films, (i) solar light can today be transformed into electricity and (ii) electric energy stored into chemicals, yet, with significant energy losses. Therefore, pushing the energy efficiency of these functional energy materials beyond current limits is of ultimate importance. Today's ...
