As the global demand for clean and sustainable energy continues to surge, the photovoltaic sector remains at the forefront of ...

Professor Lee Cronin, Gardiner Chair of Chemistry in the College of Science and Engineering, and his team have demonstrated a new way of making inorganic-chemical-cells or iCHELLs.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have taken the first step in their goal to create "life" from carbon-free, inorganic chemicals with the creation of inorganic-chemical-cells, or iCHELLS.

An international team of physicists, chemists and electronic engineers reports that a stabilizing ligand enables all-inorganic perovskite cells with an efficiency of up to 22%. In their study ...

This property gives the membrane control over the range of chemical reactions that can happen within – a key feature of specialised cells (Angewandte Chemie, DOI: 10.1002/anie.201105068).

Although several strategies are now available to produce functional microcompartments analogous to primitive cell-like structures, little progress has been made in generating protocell constructs ...

A mixture of inorganic chemicals spontaneously forms cell-like structures that behave like tiny chemical reactors. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today ...

Cronin has successfully gotten his cells to assemble into bubbly spheres that he calls Inorganic Chemical Cells, or iCHELLs. It takes more than a bubble structure to be cell-like and, more ...

Researchers in Singapore used a biomass-derived polymer to increase the efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell. The cell was also found to obtain a 90% efficiency retention ...
