A new fabrication technique for substantially enhancing the prospects of commercialising perovskite solar cells through improved stability, reliability, efficiency and affordability is underway at ...

Flexible solar cells have many potential applications in aerospace and flexible electronics, but low energy conversion efficiency has limited their practical use. A new manufacturing method has ...

Quantum dots, tiny particles of semiconductor that can carry a charge, made from various materials, have been investigated as possible solar cell materials. Those based on perovskites have proved ...

What if we could get clean electricity more cheaply and protect the environment at the same time? A team of researchers in Korea has presented a roadmap for sustainable solar cells that integrates AI ...

Perovskite silicon tandem solar cell technology is a mouthful, but it’s basically perovskite crystals layered on top of silicon cells. The combination captures energy from the sun more efficiently ...

When it comes to supplying energy for space exploration and settlements, commonly available solar cells made of silicon or gallium arsenide are still too heavy to be feasibly transported by rocket. To ...

Perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) are a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells because of their high power-conversion efficiency and low cost. However, one of the major challenges ...

By modifying structure rather than materials, researchers have developed a much more efficient solar thermoelectric generator ...

Researchers have revealed that a type of salt can improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Called guanidinium thiocyanate, the salt boosts perovskite solar cells’ power conversion efficiency ...

Origami Solar has announced partnerships with three US steel fabricators who will domestically produce steel solar module frames in Ohio and Texas. The company expects to ship steel frames to ...
