Their lightweight, transparent and foldable properties make them ideal for many applications where traditional silicon solar cells are impractical: think backpacks and tents outfitted with OSCs that ...

Traditional solar cells are made of high-purity silicon wafers that are energy-intensive to produce. In addition, they can only absorb certain parts of the solar spectrum. By contrast, perovskite ...

The world agrees that solar energy is crucial in tackling climate change. The International Energy Agency reports that ...

To increase the performance of solar panels, a team of researchers based in Saudi Arabia, Italy, Germany and Canada has created a bifacial, or two-sided, tandem solar cell. The prototypes bring ...

Perovskite solar cells, often called PeSCs, are changing the way energy is captured—especially indoors. Unlike the rigid and ...

New analytical model makes groundbreaking discovery about potential of solar power and thin-film cells: 'The traditional models just weren't capturing the whole picture' ...

Streamlining solar cell structure and fabrication for more affordable energy fresh research at City University of Hong Kong published in Science Peer-Reviewed Publication Communications and ...

In a 2022 study by [Jiang Liu] et al. in Science it was reported that a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell lost about 5% of its initial performance after 1,000 hours.

Researchers in China have fabricated a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell that utilizes an indium oxide sputtering buffer layer to protect the perovskite absorber and the electron transport ...
