Abstract

Invited for this month cover is the group of Teresa Gatti at the Justus Liebig University (JLU) in Giessen, Germany, the group of Federico Bella at Politecnico di Torino (POLITO), Italy, and the group of Francesco Lamberti at the University of Padova (UNIPD), also in Italy. The image shows how waste tires can be converted in a conductive carbon powder that undergoes a green processing step to produce carbon electrodes for lead-free perovskite solar cells. Similar devices can be employed to harvest indoor light in order to power the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. The Research Article itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202201590.
