A new six-junction solar cell, developed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory), converts 47.1% of incident light into electricity when combined with optical concentration. Indications thus ...

Thermophotovoltaic is the term used to describe direct energy conversion process from heat to electricity. Although this principle is still under development, scientists from MIT were able to build a ...

Perovskite solar cells are considered the strongest contender to replace silicon solar cells. While they achieve high power conversion energy, they also suffer from lead leakage and perovskite ...

The current energy landscape is defined by an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable sources while ensuring efficient conversion and secure storage. Advances in materials ...

There wasn’t much of a solar energy bandwagon — let alone a crowded one — in 1972, when University of Delaware physicist Karl Böer founded the Institute of Energy Conversion. At the time, energy ...

Semiconductors are central to the renewable-energy transition, enabling efficient conversion for solar, battery storage, and DC consumption. Single-stage power converters, using wide-bandgap devices ...

Sustainable access to energy and clean water using low carbon emission technologies is essential to address climate change. We are inventing new technological solutions using integrated approaches ...
