Tests showed the combined layer was less prone to clumping and covered the surface more completely.

Small solar cells have powered calculators for decades, but similar technology may eventually run a much wider range of electronic devices using only the light available indoors. Researchers at Penn ...

Ten meters (32 ft.) beneath the South China Sea, sunlight has already lost much of what makes it useful on land. Red and ...

South Korean researchers have developed a breakthrough technology that simultaneously boosts the efficiency and durability of ...

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 ...

A Hong Kong Polytechnic University team built a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that holds 97% efficiency even when part of it is shaded. The design avoids reverse-bias stress, the damage ...

Chinese researchers developed a PNCC polymer hole-transport layer that enables efficient and stable perovskite solar cells to be fabricated under ambient conditions. The material was used in a ...

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 ...
