Divesting from fossil fuels isn’t just good for the planet. It can be good for financial returns, too. That was one of the conclusions from a new Corporate Knights report that revealed that a Colorado pension fund missed out on an additional US$2.7 billion in returns over the last 10 years by not divesting from fossil fuels. The report found that the Colorado Public Employees’ Retirement Association (Colorado PERA) could have earned an additional 21.

The country has experienced a rapid increase in nocturnal production of NO3, whilst Europe and the US experienced a decline. Experts believe that this increase will have significant air pollution implications for China and other developing countries such as India.

Perovskite semiconductors promise highly efficient and low-cost solar cells. However, the semi-organic material is very sensitive to temperature differences, which can quickly lead to fatigue damage in normal outdoor use. Adding a dipolar polymer compound to the precursor perovskite solution helps to counteract this. The solar cells produced in this way achieve efficiencies of well above 24 %, which hardly drop under rapid temperature fluctuations between -60 and +80 Celsius over one hundred cyc
