Sonochemistry for high-efficiency solar cells

EU-funded scientists provided new ways to engineer the electronic structure of matter at the nanoscale. Results offer semiconductor nanoparticles the opportunity to be processed into efficient solar cells that can store energy for later use.

In the context of the project SONO ENGINEERING (Electronic structures sono-engineering of semiconductor nanoparticles for efficient solar energy exploitation), researchers experimented with ultrasonication as a thermal treatment technique to effectively engineer the electronic structures of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles.
