The second (upper layer) tends to consist of perovskite, which excels in processing higher-energy light. Together, this setup ...

The efficieny result represents one of the best performances ever achieved for this kind of thin-film solar cell to date. The device was fabricated with a rear contact interface that reportedly ...

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the ...

A research team has developed novel giant acceptors with an oxygenated linker, enabling the creation of highly efficient ...

At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea announced a new process to make bifacial narrow band copper, indium, selenium (CuInSe₂) solar cells. A ...

Perovskite solar cells can be made not only more robust but also more efficient, scalable and cheaper to manufacture by ...

According to the report’s authors, LECO is now used in the production of around one-quarter of TOPCon cells. Image: Trina Solar. A new study has found that the laser-enhanced contact optimisation ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have taken a crucial step toward increasing the lifespan of photovoltaic solar panels and potentially lowering solar-energy costs for manufacturers and ...
