Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

CAS-led researchers developed a peak-selective passivation strategy using aluminum oxide nanocoating to solve leakage issues in pyramid-textured silicon for perovskite–silicon tandem cells. The method ...

NTU researchers have developed ultra-thin transparent solar cells that could turn windows, car glass, and wearables into ...

Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.

Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) for recombination layers in fully textured perovskite–silicon tandem ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Singapore, led by Annalisa Bruno, have created perovskite solar cells that are around 50 times thinner than conventional perovskite solar cells. Their results were published in ACS Energy Letters.

Perovskites are promising materials for solar cells. A layer of dipolar molecules at the perovskite surface improves the efficiency of these devices. Read the paper: All-perovskite tandem solar cells ...

A promising solar-cell architecture, in which two layers of perovskite semiconductors are stacked on silicon, is making strides towards achieving its full potential. Read the paper: Triple-1 junction ...
