Driven by n-type solar cell adoption, utility-scale photovoltaics, and ultra-high purity semiconductor applications, ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...

The global photovoltaic (PV) industry is entering a phase defined less by headline capacity additions and more by incremental but compounding improvements in efficiency, reliability, and ...

Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

Scientists in China have developed a new method to boost efficiency and strength of ...

Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

Solar power is already a cleaner energy source than traditional dirty fuels, but a team of researchers from Tohoku University has made a breakthrough that could make solar even cleaner, according to ...

A study from the University of Michigan found that carbon-based solar cells, referred to as organic solar cells, may outperform conventional silicon solar cells and gallium-arsenide solar cells in ...

Optical transparency was achieved via 3D-printed micro-patterned pillar structures and a solvent-free monomer. Color tunability was controlled by the thickness of the top transparent electrode, ...

Researchers at ICFO have fabricated a new four-terminal organic solar cell with a tandem configuration with a 16.94% power conversion efficiency (PCE). The new device is composed by a highly ...

Earlier this year, two-layer solar cells broke records with 33 percent efficiency. The cells are made of a combination of silicon and a material called a perovskite. However, these tandem solar cells ...
