Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries and are contributing ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Perovskites are especially promising because they can be processed at relatively low temperatures, which could make ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into clean power sources without changing how they look.The Latest Tech News, Delive ...

An international team led by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has used ionic salt for the electron transport layer of a perovskite solar cell to improve device stability and ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

The international research group led by Professor Martin Green from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia has published Version 65 of the “solar cell efficiency tables” in Progress in ...
