Scientists at the Autonomous University of Querétaro in Mexico have discovered how to make perovskite solar cells, a type of thin-film cell, more stable and efficient without using traditional lead ...

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

Solar panels made from silicon already adorn rooftops and vast fields around the world—but they are reaching their performance limits. Researchers are now pairing silicon with a promising material ...

Dendrimers enable perovskite solar cells to recover from moisture damage by capturing key components, allowing repeatable self-healing without sacrificing efficiency. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Solar panels ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Perovskite solar cells, often called PeSCs, are changing the way energy is captured—especially indoors. Unlike the rigid and heavy silicon panels fixed to rooftops, these thin and flexible materials ...

A new study from Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell to enhance 3D printing processes. A team led by Shlomo Magdassi and Lioz Etgar from the ...

Researchers at German research institute Forschungszentrum Jülich have investigated which features the ideal recyclable solar cell should have and have concluded that recyclability conflicts with ...

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

In a world dealing with environmental issues and energy shortages, the promise of clean, renewable energy from solar power is driving development of solar-cell technologies. This growth in the solar ...
