Conjugated polymers are widely used materials in organic photovoltaic devices. Owing to their extended electronic wavefunctions, they often form semicrystalline thin films. Although it is known that the polymer crystal orientation plays a large role in

Non-specific binding of cellulases to lignin has been implicated as a major factor in the loss of cellulase activity during biomass conversion to sugars. It is believed that this binding may strongly impact process economics through loss of enzyme

CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskites enable fabrication of highly efficient solar cells. Chloride ions benefit the morphology, carrier diffusion length and stability of perovskite films; however, whether those benefits stem from the presence of Cl- in the precursor

Biomass analysis methods are used to compare compositions of different lignocellulosic feedstocks, to measure component balance around unit operations, and to determine yields through biomass to biofuels processes. Four biomass reference materials (RMs)
Three grid-connected monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic arrays have been instrumented with research-grade sensors on the Maryland campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST.) These arrays range from 73 kW to 271 kW and are of
Time-varying electricity rates impact the costs of operation and the value of renewable generation and storage resources. This study investigates the economic impact of electricity tariff parameters on the value of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional coordination polymers that are well known for large pore surface area and their ability to adsorb molecules from both the gaseous and solution phases. In general, MOFs are electrically insulating, but
A simple electrochemical process for submonolayer deposition of ultrathin catalytic iridum (Ir) films is demonstrated. The process enables effective utilization of one of natures rarest elements while different substrates facilitate the exploration of
