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

Half cell solar panels, which divide conventional full-sized cells into two electrically independent halves, have moved from ...

Solar cells face significant challenges when deployed in outer space, where extremes in the environment decrease the efficiency and longevity they enjoy back on Earth. University of Toledo physicists ...

Researchers from KAUST, TU Delft, and LMU Munich have improved the performance of monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by modifying the physical structure at the front of the bottom ...

Barium disilicide (BaSi 2) films have attracted considerable attention in the field of solar cell technology due to their earth-abundance, unique semiconducting properties, and potential for high ...

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

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 ...

Scientists in Switzerland have discovered a new method to enhance perovskite solar cell performance by securing rubidium (Rb) within the material, thus significantly lowering energy loss and ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

In a world dealing with environmental issues and energy shortages, the promise of clean, renewable energy from solar power is driving development of solar-cell technologies. This growth in the solar ...
