Inverted perovskite solar cells offer strong potential for scalable, low-cost solar power, but a hidden interface inside the device has limited their performance and durability. Researchers have now ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

A new crystal-seeding method boosts the efficiency and scalability of perovskite solar cells, advancing this promising ...

Canadian researchers proposed a laminate-free solar module using polycarbonate instead of EVA and glass. The new encapsulation technique reportedly enables easy disassembly, reuse of solar cells, and ...

Solar power generation is attracting attention as a way to solve energy problems. However, conventional silicon-based solar cells have one particular weakness - their power generation efficiency ...

Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

Many new energy technologies look impressive in the laboratory but never become real products. Solar cells are a clear example. Scientists can achieve record performance under controlled conditions, ...

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 ...

Cross-sectional image of a full device with a perovskite stack. Nazeeruddin/Nature Energy Researchers, including scientists from Switzerland, Italy, Japan, and Qatar, have developed a new material ...

Metal-halide perovskite solar cells are attractive for next-generation photovoltaics due to their low fabrication cost and rapidly rising efficiencies. However, exposure to light and oxygen generates ...
