Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only ...

A research team based in China and the United States has developed electroactive polymer zwitterions to modify zinc oxide interlayers in organic solar cells. Their work was found to passivate defects ...

Researchers in Singapore used a biomass-derived polymer to increase the efficiency of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell. The cell was also found to obtain a 90% efficiency retention after ...

Zhengzhou University researchers have developed a game-changing polymer that achieves nearly 20% efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs) at a fraction of the cost of existing materials. This leap ...

The field of organic solar cells and polymer electronics is rapidly evolving, addressing global energy needs through lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective photovoltaic technologies. Organic solar ...

What if the future of solar energy wasn’t just brighter but fundamentally redefined? Imagine a world where solar panels are not only more efficient but also cheaper, more durable, and adaptable to ...

Illustration of all-organic solar cells and power conversion efficiencies of AOSCs described in the present study and previous reports. As global efforts to combat climate change continue, demand for ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a way to dramatically reducing energy loss and boosting efficiency perovskite solar cells by incorporating rubidium using lattice strain -- a slight deformation in the atomic ...
