Earlier this year, two-layer solar cells broke records with 33 percent efficiency. The cells are made of a combination of silicon and a material called a perovskite. However, these tandem solar cells ...

Researchers at ICFO have fabricated a new four-terminal organic solar cell with a tandem configuration with a 16.94% power conversion efficiency (PCE). The new device is composed by a highly ...

Researchers at the University of Rajshahi in Bangladesh have made a new attempt to design solar cells based on a tin selenide (SnSe) absorber and claim their new solution may lead to the development ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

A German-Algerian research team has been investigating ways to produce silicon from diatomite, a fossil material containing amorphous silicon dioxide. The researchers said that, for potential solar ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert ...

KAUST developed a cooling technology that improves the longevity and power output of a solar cell. Image: KAUST. As solar projects spread across the world, it is no longer uncommon to see a project ...

Researchers have fabricated a new four-terminal organic solar cell with a tandem configuration with a 16.94% power conversion efficiency (PCE). The new device is composed by a highly transparent front ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...

What if the future of solar energy wasn’t just brighter but fundamentally redefined? Imagine a world where solar panels are not only more efficient but also cheaper, more durable, and adaptable to ...

Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) thin films have emerged as a promising class of semiconductor materials in the field of photovoltaic research. Owing to their direct band gap of approximately 1.3 eV, high ...
