Dartmouth Engineering Team Discovers New High-Performance Solar Cell Material
A Dartmouth team, including research associate Yihuang Xiong, PhD candidates Gideon Kassa and Andrew Pike, has discovered an entirely new high-performance material for solar absorbers that is both stable and earth-abundant. Their study, published in Joule, used a unique high-throughput computational screening method to accelerate the discovery process and were able to quickly evaluate approximately 40,000 known candidate materials.
