  • Planar mixed-metal perovskites for optoelectronic applications
    Patent number: 10199588
    Abstract: A planar mixed-metal perovskite solar cell can exhibit many favorable properties including high efficiencies and tunable electronic properties. The incorporation of different metal species (i.e. Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Sn, Sr, and Zn) into the film is made possible by the solubility of either each metal's divalent acetate or halide compound in a solvent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: February 5, 2019
    Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Angela M. Belcher, Matthew T. Klug, Paula T. Hammond
  • Virus film as template for porous inorganic scaffolds
    Patent number: 9805841
    Abstract: Virus multilayers can be used as templates for growth of inorganic nanomaterials. For example, layer-by-layer construction of virus multilayers on functionalized surfaces form nanoporous structures onto which metal particles or metal oxide nanoparticles can be nucleated to result in an interconnected network of nanowires.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 3, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Noemie-Manuelle Dorval Courchesne, Angela M. Belcher, Paula T. Hammond, Matthew T. Klug
