For the first time, asymmetric BDTs have been designed to build up polymer solar cells (PSCs) in a research group led by Prof. YANG Renqiang from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Surprisingly, the photovoltaic properties of PSCs were improved greatly in comparison with corresponding symmetric BDT based polymers.
Better Flexible Solar Cells Come from a Misoperation
You may know solar cells on satellites and street lights, but you may not know the reasons why these traditional inorganic solar cells are not very commonly found in our daily life. The...

The Chinese Academy of Sciences' Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) has established a genome editing platform for industrial oleaginous microalgae.
Microalgae are organisms that can capture and assimilate atmospheric CO2 by using sunlight. They then store the solar energy and CO2 in the form of energy-dense molecules such as triacylglycerol (TAG), which can be readily converted to oil. T...

Researchers at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) successfully demonstrated that organic nutrients may contribute to the outbreak of green tides in the southern Yellow Sea.
Large macroalgal blooms (also known as green tides, or Ulva prolifera) occurred in the southern Yellow Sea, China, yearly from 2008 to 2015. Since 2008, green tides have become a severe problem with negative impacts on the coastal ecosystem o...

Researchers at Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) successfully demonstrated the feasibility of a nonsaltbased precursor pair-inorganic HPbI3 solid and organic CH3NH2 gas-for the deposition of uniform CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite thin films.
The organic-inorganic hybrid halides perovskite solar cells have been improved to the certificated efficiency of 22.1% recently and the coming question is how to easily get the high quality perovskite films to meet the requirement for its fut...
