Quantify and Reducing Ion Migration in Metal Halide Perovskites through Control of Mobile Ions
Researchers from the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering along with EMC and AEP Core Facilities quantify the ion migration of PSCs and MHP thin films in terms of mobile ion concentration (No) and ionic mobility (µ) and demonstrate that No has a more significant impact on device stability.
Understanding the Effect of Single Atom Cationic Defect Sites in an Al2O3 (012) Surface on Altering Selenate and Sulfate Adsorption
Researchers from the School of Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy along with ASU's Research Computing discover that adsorption is a promising under-the-sink selenate remediation technique for distributed water systems. This study aims to show the relative importance of the water network effects and surface cation identity on controlling selenate and sulfate adsorption energy using density functional theory calculations.
What this means for water systems.
