Embedding spherical gold nanoparticles into organic solar cells increases their efficiency but can also lead to unwanted ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

For solar panels, wringing every drop of energy from as many photons as possible is imperative. This goal has sent chemistry, materials science and electronic engineering researchers on a quest to ...

Long before perovskite solar cells began smashing efficiency records and transforming the future of clean energy, their modern design first emerged from a quiet experiment at Northwestern University.

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

An international research team led by Huazhong University of Science and Technology was able to improve (Sn-Pb) single junction tin lead perovskite solar cells, as well as all-perovskite tandem and ...

Ever take a look at a solar panel system and think to yourself: I could build that. The truth is that you probably can. Building a cheap, solar panel system is a fun project to take on that if done ...

The 1cm² cells, pictured, achieved a record-breaking 27.06% power conversion efficiency. Image: University of Sydney. Scientists from the University of Sydney have created what they claim is the ...

The efficieny result represents one of the best performances ever achieved for this kind of thin-film solar cell to date. The device was fabricated with a rear contact interface that reportedly ...
