How Do Solar Cells Work?

There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...
An international research team has fabricated organic solar cells using non-toxic solvents. The researchers identified interactions between the acceptor material side chains and the solvent, along ...
A research team from the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) and the School of Optical and Electronic ...
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.
Scientists have developed a novel triple-junction perovskite/Si tandem solar cell that can achieve a certified world-record power conversion efficiency of 27.1 per cent across a solar energy ...
A research group at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) has shown that in situ gettering during the application of asymmetric configuration of n-type and p-type ...
Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a way to monitor solar cells at a microscopic level while they are operating to ...
Modern consumer solar technology offers quite a bit of variety, from standard panel designs with silicon materials to thin-film alternatives made of cadmium. So, what's all this about perovskite solar ...
