Researchers have come up with a new way to make perovskite films for solar cells. The technique is especially well suited to making ultra-thin films that are semi-transparent, which could be useful ...

German scientists have proposed power generation for future habitats on the moon could be achieved by manufacturing halide perovskite cells locally, using regolith-based moonglass. In the paper “Moon ...

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 ...

– Use of X-rays at SPring-8 for first-ever confirmation of an anomalous diffusion phenomenon in the crystallization process – Tetsuhiko Miyadera (Researcher), Masayuki Chikamatsu (Leader), and others ...

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 ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...

Compared to conventional silicon-based solar cells, OSCs could be more flexible, lighter, more affordable and easier to tailor for specific applications, for instance by changing their color or ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have investigated how effectively the laser-assisted firing process developed by Chinese solar module manufacturer Jolywood, the ...

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

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, ...

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 ...
