Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

< ISTA physicists explain the exceptional energy-harvesting efficiency of perovskites. Assistant Profe ... Copyright: © ISTA ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by the UK’s University of Cambridge has developed an adhesive-free method of bonding ultra-thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells to borosilicate glass. The technique, ...

A new study in Science shows that the incorporation of a synthetic molecule into the design enhances the energy efficiency and longevity of perovskite solar cells. The benefits of the molecule, known ...

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 ...

Flexible solar panels are quickly gaining popularity among homeowners and vanlifers looking for a lightweight, portable way to harness renewable energy. Unlike traditional roof-mounted systems, these ...

Researchers at NREL found that UV exposure can cause significant, partly non-recoverable degradation in TOPCon solar cells, with strong cell-to-cell and intra-cell variability linked to passivation ...
