Advanced energy storage material gets unprecedented nanoscale analysis

Scientists have combined advanced in-situ microscopy and theoretical calculations to uncover important clues to the properties of a promising next-generation energy storage material for supercapacitors and batteries.

Two-dimensional CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite: a new promising optoelectronic material

Researchers have demonstrated the world's thinnest CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite nanosheets by a two-step synthesis method through the combination of solution process to produce 2D PbI2 nanosheets and vapour-phase conversion of the PbI2 to CH3NH3PbI3 nanosheets.

Scratching the surface: Real-time monitoring of surface changes at the atomic level

Researchers have developed a technique that allows them to follow physical processes occurring at surfaces of materials at the atomic level in situ and in real time.
