While most solar cells on the market today are based on silicon, energy engineers have recently been assessing the performance of alternative cells based on other photovoltaic (PV) materials. These ...

Murmurs of a new development in solar power are making the rounds in Europe. A new solar cell that can do more than ...

Wang Mingtai and Chen Chong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Darth Vaders dark eyes inspired a new nanotechnology-based black silicon that makes solar cells more efficient. The resultant ...

A salt called guanidinium thiocyanate can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, a new class of semiconductor that could make solar power cheaper and more powerful, according ...

A Chinese research group claims to have achieved remarkable efficiency and stability in a solar cell based on a perovskite absorber incorporating MXene, a novel type of 2D material known for its ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Beneath a maze of tubes, Leonardo Josué Lugo Salas focused intently on the postage stamp-sized piece of glass he was clutching between a pair of tweezers. Reaching his arm through a rubber glove and ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales have used a 1 µm copper plating layer on the front silver grid of a TOPCon solar cell to create a protective barrier that reportedly reduces corrosion ...
