To physically demonstrate how this would work in a real-world scenario, researchers used the film of a P3TTM molecule to ...

Novel design strategies provide a step towards more efficient and stable perovskite–perovskite–silicon solar cells ...

Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we always want more! Too much, you ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter has given scientists their first clear view of the Sun’s poles, a region that has long remained hidden ...

An innovative hybrid solar device that combines a PV panel and energy storage has achieved record levels of energy storage efficiency for such a device. And unlike conventional batteries, the ...

One of the most promising, emerging solar cell technologies has received a major efficiency boost. Engineers at UNIST in South Korea have created quantum dot solar cells with a world record efficiency ...

For years, the arguments against renewable power focused on its high costs. But as the price of wind and solar plunged, the arguments shifted. Suddenly, concerns about the waste left behind when solar ...

A Chinese research team has developed a novel sandwich buffer layer that enhances carrier transport and efficiency in semi-transparent perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells. Minimodules incorporating ...

The tandem device is based on a bottom organic cell that can achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 17.9% and a high short-circuit current density of 28.60 mA cm2. Furthermore, it uses a ...
