Application

Methanamine hydriodide is an important precursor for the preparation of perovskite photoactive layers for solar energy conversion.
Methylammonium iodide (MAI) is extensively used as a precursor material for the fabrication of perovskite solar cells. These solar cells offer high conversion efficiencies.
Methylammonium iodide can be used as a precursor in combination with lead iodide to change the morphology of the resulting perovskite materials. Perovskite materials can further be utilized in the fabrication of alternative energy devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

Articles

The past several decades have seen major advancements in the synthesis of metal nanomaterials. Most recently, controlled synthesis has become versatile enough to regulate the exact number of atoms and ligands of very small metal nanoparticles, referred to as “clusters”.

Next generation solar cells have the potential to achieve conversion efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit while also significantly lowering production costs.

Dr. Perini and Professor Correa-Baena discuss the latest research and effort to obtain higher performance and stability of perovskite materials.

For several decades, the need for an environmentally sustainable and commercially viable source of energy has driven extensive research aimed at achieving high efficiency power generation systems that can be manufactured at low cost.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
