Members of the Argonne-Northwestern Solar Energy Research (ANSER) Center have developed an experiential learning program and startup company to teach younger generations about the shift towards a more sustainable future.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Community Impact | Northwestern UniversityA new era of growth in the field of perovskite solar cells began this month, with the publication of a paper that documents the maximum level of perovskite layer thickness that can be synthesized.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityResearchers are developing artificial photosynthesis to produce liquid fuels using solar energy.
University Research | Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityThere’s more to the story than OPEC. Plus, how fracking stands to change the market.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | University Research | Northwestern UniversityMost commercial solar cells are made of silicon. A type of material called perovskite halides are a potential competitor of silicon, but they are sensitive to moisture and high temperatures. Exposure to either will quickly degrade these materials — rendering them useless. Researchers at the Argonne…
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityNorthwestern’s Solar Fuels Institute (SOFI) is working on an "artificial tree" that uses a renewable energy source — the sun — to help capture carbon dioxide in the air and convert it into methanol.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityChristopher Wolverton, professor of materials science and engineering in Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering, has developed a new computational design strategy that can pinpoint optimal materials with which to coat the cathode in lithium-ion batteries, protecting it from degradation an
