UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future ...

Researchers in Australia have achieved a breakthrough in an emerging solar cell material that ...

For years, perovskites have been hailed as the "holy grail" of solar energy thanks to their promise of highly efficient and cheaper solar cells. Perovskites are a class of materials with similar ...

Scheme showing part of a singlet fission-sensitized silicon solar cell. Absorption of a high-energy photon by the tetracene layer produces a singlet exciton. This singlet exciton undergoes singlet ...

Qcells has set a world record for the efficiency of a large-area silicon solar cell with a top layer of perovskite. This discovery could dramatically shrink the size of projects and slash costs for ...

Shanghai-headquartered solar module manufacturer JinkoSolar has announced its latest breakthrough in the development of N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell, which achieved a record ...

Germany’s Forschungszentrum Jülich has announced a world-record efficiency of 23.08% for a silver-free heterojunction (HJT) solar cell that is fully metallized with copper (Cu). The cell reportedly ...

Ultrathin solar cells save material and bend on surfaces but lose light. A gold nanostructured mirror with oxide boosts reflection and reduces energy loss. (Nanowerk News) Ultrathin solar cells are a ...

A group of researchers at the Odtu-Gunam research institute in Turkiye claims to have fabricated a TOPCon solar cell with a nickel (Ni) contact and significantly lower silver (Ag) content, with the ...

Researchers from Humboldt University Berlin and HZB have developed a tandem solar cell combining a perovskite-based top cell with a CIGS (copper, indium, gallium, and selenium) bottom cell. By ...
