Solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries. While most existing solar ...

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.

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, recently published three research papers in succession within a single month in Nature Energy, one of the premier journals in the field of energy ...

Solar cells made with films mimicking the structure of the mineral perovskite are the focus of worldwide research. But only now have researchers at Case Western Reserve University directly shown the ...

Hundreds of years ago, lead musket balls tore across European battlefields, littering the ground with toxic materials. Today, a team of scientists in Germany has scavenged a pile of this deeply ...

The champion solar cell developed with this structure achieved a power conversion efficiency of 25.1%, an open-circuit voltage of 1,165 mV, a short-circuit current of 25.88 mA cm–2, and a fill factor ...

A group of researchers led by China's Lingnan University has fabricated an inverted perovskite solar cell through what they called a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) stabilization strategy. Inverted ...

Just last month, a European group posted a record of 30.8%. Image: Fraunhofer ISE. Chinese solar manufacturer Risen Energy has produced what it called a “record” conversation efficiency on a ...

Scientists have developed a new protective coating that significantly extends the life of perovskite solar cells, making them more practical for applications outside the lab. Northwestern University ...
