Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin films have emerged as a promising class of absorber materials for thin film solar cells due to their earth‐abundant, non‐toxic constituents and favourable optical and electronic ...

Barium disilicide (BaSi 2) films have attracted considerable attention in the field of solar cell technology due to their earth-abundance, unique semiconducting properties, and potential for high ...

The development of clean and low-cost solar photovoltaic technology is crucial for the global transition toward carbon ...

Earlier this year, two-layer solar cells broke records with 33 percent efficiency. The cells are made of a combination of silicon and a material called a perovskite. However, these tandem solar cells ...

The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a ...

A research team from Fudan University has explored a novel optimization method for the transport layer in solar cells, ...

The lab-scale, near-white heterojunction solar cell uses nanoclay-based scattering layers combined with dielectric multilayer films to preserve power conversion efficiency while enhancing visual ...

A comprehensive review examines optical loss reduction and photon utilization strategies that could push all perovskite tandem solar cells toward their 45 percent efficiency limit.

Nearly 20 years after the first perovskite solar cell was developed, its efficiency and durability are drawing interest from industries worldwide. The defense sector is among the most active, as ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have achieved world-record power conversion efficiency ...

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 ...
