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

Photovoltaic devices convert incident sunlight directly into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect in semiconductor materials. At their core, these devices rely on an energy band gap to ...

The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a ...

The perovskite-based platform combines high-efficiency solar energy conversion with advanced memory functions needed for AI ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

In a new study published in Research, researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University and collaborating institutions report a molecular strategy that addresses this problem from within the ...

The research group led by Professor Martin Green has published Version 68 of the solar cell efficiency tables. There are 21 new results reported in the new version.

A team at Fraunhofer ISE has created new imaging methods to measure losses in individual sub-cells of multi-junction solar cells based on perovskite-silicon and perovskite-perovskite-silicon ...

Associate Professor Mojtaba Abdi-Jalebi and PhD candidate Siming Huang with panels of their solar cells optimised for indoor light. An international team led by UCL (University College London) ...

Lead-free perovskite solar cells are emerging as lower-toxicity alternatives to lead-based devices, but they still face major ...

Solar power and battery stations have made bringing power to the wilderness more accessible than ever, but there are limits ...
