As Louisiana Rep. Kimberly Landry Coates stood before her colleagues in the state’s Legislature she warned that the bill she was presenting might “seem strange” or even ...

Perovskite solar cells are poised to be the next big photovoltaic technology, after silicon. But they usually don’t last more than a couple of years. They also contain toxic lead, which portends ...

By regulating the secondary growth of lead iodide, an international group of scientists has built a perovskite solar cell with low non-radiative recombination and defect state density. The device ...

A German research team has developed a new technique to recover and reuse methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) from perovskite solar cells via solvent extraction. Such recycling method can ...

The scientists combined the two photoactive polymorphs of cesium lead iodide to form a phase-heterojunction -- which can suppress the transformation to the undesirable phase, the scientists said.

Dark chocolate can sometimes contain surprisingly high levels of lead and cadmium, two heavy metals that have been linked to health problems, as Consumer Reports’ recent investigation into dark ...

Mercury (II) iodide is a chemical compound that exists in red-orange crystals. It is highly reactive to lead salts, iodoform, chlorides, light, heat, hydrogen peroxides, and copper salts. Unlike ...
