A flexible perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell has reached a certified 29.88% power conversion efficiency, placing it among ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

Nearly 20 years after the first perovskite solar cell was developed, its efficiency and durability are drawing interest from industries worldwide. The defense sector is among the most active, as ...

The lab-scale, near-white heterojunction solar cell uses nanoclay-based scattering layers combined with dielectric multilayer films to preserve power conversion efficiency while enhancing visual ...

Researchers have developed a PFAS-free dual-layer sol-gel and hydrophobic silica coating that repels water, dust, and dirt while maintaining high light transmission for solar panels. The transparent, ...

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 ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved world-record power conversion efficiency ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

A solar charging kit, purchased after further promotional enticement, enables keeping a remotely located vehicle battery ...

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 ...
