Bookmark or Share- Transparent, flexible solar cells - MIT NewsImagine a future in which solar cells are all around us — on windows and walls, cell phones, laptops, and more. A new flexible, transparent solar cell developed at MIT is bringing that future one step closer. The device combines low-cost organic (carbon-containing) materials with electrodes of graphene, a flexible, transparent material made ...
- Transparent graphene electrodes might lead to new generation of solar ...Large sheets of transparent graphene that could be used for lightweight, flexible solar cells or electronics displays can now be created using a method developed at MIT. The technique involves a buffer layer of parylene for the graphene transfer process. Lead researchers include Jing Kong, Tomas Palacios, Markus Buehler, and Giovanni Azzellino.
- A graphene roll-out | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyA new manufacturing process produces strips of graphene, at large scale, for use in membrane technologies and other applications. The process consists of a “roll-to-roll” system that spools out a ribbon of copper foil from one end, which is fed through a furnace. Methane and hydrogen gas are deposited onto the foil to form graphene, which ...
- Researchers design one of the strongest, lightest materials knownResearchers at MIT have fused flakes of graphene into a sponge-like shape, creating one of the strongest lightweight materials, writes James Temperton for Wired. Flakes of graphene were compressed using heat and pressure, then 3-D printers were used to create a “strong, stable structure similar to some corals” for stress tests.
- Study: Superconductivity switches on and off in “magic-angle” grapheneThe researchers found that magic-angle graphene could exhibit ferromagnetic properties in a way that could be tuned on and off. This happened when the graphene sheets were layered between two sheets of boron nitride such that the crystal structure of the graphene was aligned to one of the boron nitride layers.
