Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many ...

The introduction of a nanometric germanium oxide layer drastically improved device performance and stability. As the global demand for clean energy accelerates, solar power continues to attract ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

The tandem device is based on a bottom thin-film heterojunction cell that can bend and a top perovskite cell that can be manufactured with a low-temperature process to prevent damage. It achieved the ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Sebastian Bonilla receives funding from UK Research and Innovation, The Royal Academy of Engineering, and The Leverhulme Trust. The sight of solar panels installed on rooftops and large energy farms ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...

Solar cell and solar wafer exports from China increased significantly during the first half of the year, according to analysis by London-based think tank Ember Energy. Figures from the company’s ...
