The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a high‑stakes engineering sprint that will shape how quickly the global energy ...

Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade.

Purity” is one of the many myths of perfection, suggesting that absolute conformity is the only way to produce supreme value.

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current. That mismatch has bothered solar researchers for more than a decade. Silicon ...

Danish researchers have analyzed fundamental material properties of selenium solar cells and have found their potential is higher than generally believed. They used carrier-resolved photo-Hall ...

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 ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated the impact of electron irradiation on the performance of p-PERC, n-TOPCon and p-TOPCon solar cells and have ...
