It is possible to make a material absorb more radiation than it has to re-emit, violating the laws of physics in a way that ...

A new type of semitransparent organic solar cell (ST-OSC) with an efficiency of more than 10% has been developed, bringing us closer to a future where windows and mobile display screens could function ...

In June 2024, Chinese solar cell manufacturer LONGi announced it has produced a silicon-perovskite solar cell of 34.6 per cent efficiency, with theoretical maximum efficiency of 43 per cent ...

The current exponential growth of solar electricity technologies toward consumer-oriented applications, as in building- or vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (B/VIPV), is calling for improved solar ...

Additionally, a team at MIT is exploring transparent solar cell technology using organic materials that absorb infrared and ultraviolet light while allowing visible light to pass through.

This is a close-up look at a high-performance solar cell made from a monocrystalline silicon wafer. The contact grid is made from busbars (large strip) and fingers (small strips).

The self-assembled monolayers can now be applied not only in inverted but also in regular structure perovskite solar cells. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

Typically, solar cells are encased in heavy glass to protect them from the air or rain that could harm their performance, but the ultra-thin cells need to remain flexible for certain applications.

Highly efficient silicon solar cells that are as flexible as a sheet of paper could offer a lightweight power source for applications such as uncrewed aerial vehicles while cutting the cost of ...

The newly developed perovskite solar cell boasts a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 25.6 per cent. Impressively, the cell retained over 90 per cent of its initial efficiency after 1,200 hours ...
