A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

Carbon nanotube-based solar cells represent a promising frontier in photovoltaic research, harnessing the outstanding electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to ...

Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...

Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a promising photovoltaic technology due to their cost-effective materials, simplified fabrication processes and attractive aesthetic versatility. By ...

Materials research suffers from trial-and-error synthesis and fabrication, while the resulting numerical datasets fail to ...

Solar energy is one of the most accessible and cleanest forms of energy we have. We can tap the sun's power using solar panels, and turn the free sunlight into electricity to power our homes and more.

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

Researchers in Singapore have developed fully vacuum-processed ultrathin perovskite solar cells with absorber layers as thin as 10 nm, achieving high transparency and stable efficiencies up to 12%.
