Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...

Although the efficiency of organic solar cells has now risen to more than 20%, there are physical limits that make it ...

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 ...

The sight of solar panels installed on rooftops and large energy farms has become commonplace in many regions around the world. Even in grey and rainy UK, solar power is becoming a major player in ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Amorphous silicon solar cells have emerged as a promising technology for harnessing solar energy due to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility. However, their efficiency is constrained by low ...

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells (TSCs) have emerged as a promising technology for photovoltaic energy harvesting and have already exceeded the limits of traditional single-junction solar cells.

Laser-assisted firing is a major breakthrough in solar cell technology because it can solve one of the key issues causing poor reliability in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cells, ...

Using the mask-and-plate copper metallization technique, scientists at the German research center fabricated a 1.21 cm² perovskite–silicon tandem solar cell featuring a heterojunction bottom device.
