Solar cells absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. This process, however, is not perfect, and a large part of the ...

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 ...

South Korean researchers have developed a new technology that addresses the longstanding durability problem of perovskite ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

Solar power continues to be used more widely, and the science behind the technology is developing too: researchers from the ...

A new review in the Journal of Materials Science maps how the molecular structure of ionic liquids governs crystallization, ...

One photon normally gives a solar material one main chance to capture useful energy. A new experiment from scientists in ...

An ultrathin phosphomolybdic acid interlayer passivates defects and strengthens bonding at the MoOₓ/silicon interface, ...

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 ...
