Prior research has shown that perovskite-silicon tandems can lead to improved efficiencies in solar cells, with some previous research groups seeing efficiency as high as 30%.

Rather than trying to beat Chinese companies, Coreshell attempting an end run, swapping graphite for its specially coated silicon.

Since the coating is silicone-based and applied as a liquid, it actually fills small scratches and surface imperfections and forms a very shiny and perfectly flat surface on top, effectively ...

The chips used in the study were partially coated in PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), which is a polymer containing silicon. This created two regions on the chips, a bare die region and a PDMS-coated ...

The chip starts out as a thin wafer of P-type silicon. This is then coated with a layer of silicon dioxide -- kind of a silicon rust, which doesn't conduct electricity. On top of this is placed a ...

Figure 1: Schematic representation of the coated-silicon hybridization-based biosensor. The base substrate of the chip is crystalline silicon, which provides a highly reflective, inert ...

For example, spin coating is used to deposit thin films of materials like titanium dioxide (TiO2) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) to create antireflective coatings for lenses and solar cells. Spin coating ...
