Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

This new hybrid solar panel captures energy from sunlight and falling raindrops, helping it produce power even during storms.

MOFs are porous materials made up of metal ions connected by organic molecules. Their large surface area, adjustable pore sizes, and chemical versatility make them useful for enhancing solar cells.

A group of researchers led by Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) in Germany and China’s Henan University investigated repeated thermal stress cycles, reflecting diurnal cycles, on the degradation of metal ...

A team from the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville (US), has developed a new hybrid device ...

Halide perovskites—already a focus of major research into efficient, low-cost solar cells—have been shown to handle light faster than most semiconductors on the market. A new paper, published in ...

For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a 2D/3D tin halide perovskite (THP) solar cell with a certified efficiency of 16.65% and peak performance of 17.13%, maintaining stable ...

Researchers have developed hole transport materials such as Spiro-OMeTAD, NiOx, PEDOT:PSS, and PTAA. Common electron transport materials include TiO 2, ZnO, SnO 2, C 60, and PC 61 BM. Applications of ...

A University of Sydney-led team has achieved a global efficiency record for a large triple-junction perovskite solar cell, converting sunlight into electricity at rates that place perovskite ...
