Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption.

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade.

In recent years, solar cells incorporating crystals known as perovskites have repeatedly broken records of how well they convert sunlight to electricity, suggesting they might help revolutionize ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Fraunhofer ISE-led researchers demonstrated zinc-doped tin oxide (ZTO) as an indium-free alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO ...

Japanese scientists just shattered a stubborn solar energy ceiling, hitting 130% quantum yield in lab tests. This could ...

Our research focuses on developing innovative materials that can improve solar cell technology. We specialize in creating new materials that can capture and transport solar energy more efficiently, ...

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 ...

Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...
