Engineering perovskites with anions The bandgap of the perovskite top layer in tandem silicon solar cells must be tuned to ∼1.7 electron volts. Usually, cation composition is varied because bromine-rich anion compositions wide bandgaps are structurally unstable.

Most memory-chip manufacturers keep trying to supply cost-effective storage devices with high-performance characteristics such as smaller tPROG, lower power consumption and longer endurance. For many years, every effort has been made shrink die size cost improve performance. However, the previously used node-shrinking methodology is facing challenges due increased cell-to-cell interference patterning difficulties caused by decreasing dimension. To overcome these limitations, 3D-stacking...
