Solar power is already the cheapest way to generate large amounts of clean electricity, yet conventional panels still waste a ...

Solar panels often get a bad rap for spoiling the appearance of homes and businesses. Yet, this may be about to change. A research group has fabricated a highly transparent solar cell with a 2D atomic ...

An international research team has fabricated a quasi-2D perovskite solar cell with a special kind of phenethylammonium iodide (PEAI) salt to enhance hole extraction. The result is a 23.08%-efficient ...

US researchers have designed a 2D solar cell based on TMDCs that may exceed by far the efficiency of this device typology, which usually doesn’t exceed 6%. The novelty of this cell consists of its ...

Perovskite solar cell research has made remarkable progress over the past 15 years. Back in 2009, photovoltaic devices made from cheap and abundant perovskite materials converted sunlight into ...

Thin-film solar cells comprising CdTe, Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 have become a less-expensive photovoltaic technology than crystalline Si wafer solar cells. Still, their efficiencies are inferior to those of ...

(Nanowerk News) Research in the field of material science and electronics relies on the innovative arrangement of molecules or atoms to develop materials with unique properties not found in ...

Solar panels are an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, and higher-power-density renewable-energy source, though most ...
